The person who attacked me was never caught. Do I still have a case?

Yes. A negligent security claim runs against the property owner for failing to prevent foreseeable crime, the attacker's identity matters less than the property's crime history and the owner's security failures.

What makes crime 'foreseeable' at an Aurora property?

Prior incidents on and around the property, police calls, break-ins, assaults, plus the owner's own knowledge: complaint logs, broken gates left unfixed, security assessments ignored. Aurora police call data is often the backbone of the case.

How long do I have to file a negligent security claim in Colorado?

Generally two years. Surveillance footage and complaint records disappear far faster, so the preservation demand needs to go out immediately.

What Can You Recover in a Negligent Security Case?

Most serious negligent security cases we take resolve between $500,000 and $10 million, and the catastrophic ones define the top of that range. The attacker rarely has assets; the property owner's insurance is where accountability lives.

Bigger and faster settlements come from trial preparation that starts the day you sign, and from a firm that, so far, has never lost.

Why Negligent Security Cases Are Different

Broken lock on an apartment security gate | Colorado negligent security attorney | Lionheart Injury Law

These are premises cases (C.R.S. § 13-21-115) built on foreseeability: the owner knew, from police calls, prior incidents, tenant complaints, that crime was coming, and chose vacancy rates over dead bolts. Most firms won't touch them; we specialize in them. The full playbook, crime-grid analysis, security-standard experts, the apartment-industry paper trail, is in our negligent security case playbook, and it was built on corridors like Aurora's.

Aurora's Negligent Security Terrain

The East Colfax motel strip, long the metro area's highest-crime corridor, where owners rent rooms nightly amid documented, repeated violence. The apartment districts along Havana, Peoria, and Chambers, where broken gates, dead lighting, and non-functioning cameras persist across ownership changes. Parking structures and big-box lots around Town Center at Aurora. Each has a police-call history, and that history is discoverable, mappable, and devastating in front of an Arapahoe County jury.

How We Build an Aurora Negligent Security Case

Police-call data for the address and the block, going back years. The owner's own records: complaint logs, security assessments, maintenance orders for the broken gate that stayed broken. Camera footage preserved before it cycles. A security expert who measures what the property had against what its crime history required. And the corporate trail, because the LLC on the deed usually leads to a management company and an owner who made the budget decisions.

Damages, Venue, and Deadlines

Under HB24-1472, non-economic damages are capped at $1.5 million (2025); economic damages and physical impairment damages are uncapped, and a fatal incident carries the $2,125,000 wrongful death cap. Where the assault was sexual, the case overlaps with our sexual assault playbook practice and is handled with the privacy it demands. Deadline: generally two years; venue: Arapahoe County District Court for most of the city. If trial is what it takes, we are ready.
