Injuries Caused by Inadequate/Negligent Security

Are you an innocent crime victim injured on private property?

Did you know that property owners in Florida have the responsibility to safeguard the security of their properties? That means that property owners must take reasonable steps to monitor and maintain the safety of the premises they own.

This responsibility extends to securing the premises of the building and the parking lots for apartment complexes and shopping plazas. The owner's duty usually includes having property security staff, adequate lighting, and other procedures to ensure the chances of crime is minimized. Many property owners violate this duty every day. If you or a loved one is shot while a crime is in progress, caught in the crossfire of a drug sale gone bad as an innocent bystander, or the victim of a robbery or carjacking, you may have the right to pursue compensation for your injuries caused by the negligence of the property owner.

You don't have to be a Florida resident to pursue money damages. We also represent tourists who have sustained injuries due to negligent security just going to their rental car or strolling to the beach.

Negligent security claims usually arise at places of business or apartment buildings, and are often the result of failure to provide adequate security. Typical causes include:

• Lack of proper lighting
• Lack of security, including permitting access to people with no purpose to be on the property
• Inadequate security staff
• Inadequate supervision of children and minors

Many injuries result from negligent security, including sexual assault, gunshot wounds and wrongful death. While we can't make the injury go away, we can hold property owners responsible for the wrongdoing which occurs on their property and make them compensate you for your injuries and damages.
