Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

A suit would be a long shot, and I doubt that a competent attorney would take such a case on contingency. The usual rule in such cases is that the plaintiff must establish that the property owner was negligent. In turn, you'd have to plead and prove that the employer/property owner knew full well that the parking area was risky, and therefore had a duty to do something about it, such as providing more patrols. One security officer may be enough, ample, or way too few, depending upon the history of incidents. No harm in asking a few lawyers in your area that are familiar with the property, however. Also, no harm in reporting the incident to the employer and asking for them to cover your damage voluntarily.....they may have insurance.
