停车场往往是商业建筑中最危险的角落:孤立的环境、昏暗的灯光以及可预见的人流,为犯罪分子提供了可乘之机。由邓洪律师(Daniel Deng)领军的邓洪律师事务所,致力于为受害者提供“无畏的辩护”。在 2026 年,如果您在停车库内遭遇袭击,法律可能会认为业主的“安全疏忽”才是导致事故发生的根源。
“可预见性”的滑动天平
根据加州《民事法典》第 1714 条和着名的 Ann M. v. Pacific Plaza 案裁决,这类案件的核心在于“可预见性”(Foreseeability)。法院会根据“安全措施的负担”与“犯罪发生的可能性”进行平衡:要求的安保等级越高(如聘请武装保安),受害者就越需要证明该地之前发生过类似的暴力案件。
但在 2026 年,一些“低负担”的安全措施被视为业主的强制义务:
充足的照明: 必须消除所有监控死角。
运作良好的监控: 摄像头不能只是摆设,必须确保正在录制或监控。
有效的门禁: 车库大门和防火门不能长期损坏或处于开启状态。
证据锁定:如何证明业主有过错?
我们利用加州民事陪审团指令 CACI 1005 来证明业主具有“推定知情权”。这意味着他们理应知道危险的存在,因为:
历史案件记录: 该地点或周边近期曾发生过抢劫或人身攻击。
环境疏忽: 长期坏掉的灯泡、遮挡视线的灌木丛或破损的围栏。
SB 553 暴力日志: 自 2024 年 7 月起,加州雇主和物业经理必须保存“暴力事件日志”。邓洪律师事务所会通过法律传票调取这些日志,证明业主明知威胁在增加却坐视不管。
邓洪律师事务所:您的正义坚盾
在圣盖博谷(SGV),暴力袭击带来的创伤不仅是身体上的,更是精神上的。
母语服务: 我们用您的母语解析复杂的《环境安全法》,确保沟通无碍。

Negligent Security: Suing Property Owners for Foreseeable Crimes in Parking Garages
Parking garages are among the most vulnerable areas of any commercial property. Their isolation, predictable traffic, and often inadequate lighting create a "perfect storm" for criminal opportunity. At Deng Law Center, led by community advocate Daniel Deng, we hold property owners to the high standard of integrity that California law demands. In 2026, if you are the victim of a violent crime in a garage, the law may view the owner’s lack of security as the true "gateway" to the incident.
The Sliding Scale of "Foreseeability"
The core of a negligent security claim under California Civil Code § 1714 and the landmark Ann M. v. Pacific Plaza ruling is "Foreseeability." California courts use a sliding scale to determine the owner's duty: the more burdensome the security measure required (like hiring armed guards), the higher the level of prior criminal activity the victim must prove.
However, in 2026, "low-burden" security measures are mandatory for almost all garages. These include:
Adequate Lighting: Standardized lumens to eliminate "blind spots."
Operational Security Cameras: Modern systems that are monitored or at least functioning.
Functional Access Controls: Secure gates and door locks that are not left propped open or broken for weeks.
Proving Notice and Negligence
To win a negligent security case in 2026, we utilize CACI 1005 to prove that the owner had "Constructive Notice." This means they should have known about the danger because of:
Prior Similar Incidents: Evidence of past robberies or assaults on or near the property.
Environmental Hazards: Burnt-out bulbs, overgrown shrubbery near entrances, or broken perimeter fencing.
The 2024 SB 553 Mandate: Since July 2024, most California employers and property managers must maintain a Violent Incident Log. At Deng Law Center, we subpoena these logs to prove the owner was aware of escalating threats but chose to do nothing.
Why Deng Law Center?
We are "Protective & Bold." We understand that for the Chinese-speaking community in Monterey Park and Alhambra, the trauma of a violent assault is compounded by a complex legal system. We speak your language and act as your bridge to a fair trial. We go beyond the police report to investigate the "security failures" that allowed the criminal to choose that specific garage. "Justice for the community" means ensuring that if you pay for parking, you are paying for safety, not a hazard.
