Basic security measures must be implemented to prevent serious injuries and/or death.

We posture these cases to serve the public, by representing individuals permanently injured in cases stemming from negligent security, we take an active role in making the community safe for the public. A majority of negligent security cases target rental apartment complexes or homes, hotels, motels, retail stores, schools, or event stadiums and venues.

Working with an experienced attorney with a focus on negligence security is key to your case, as these cases carry a very nuanced burden of proof.

Security requirements for businesses or public locations depend on the type of property and its geographical location. In Florida negligent security cases, the victim must first prove that the property owner failed to adequately protect the individual from harm or risk. The plaintiff must prove that the defendant’s property wasn’t up to the established safety standards set forth by law.

The victim must also prove that they suffered injury or loss as a result of the negligence. The plaintiff must clearly demonstrate they were injured or suffered personal property loss secondary to the establishment owner’s negligence.

To improve the validity of a case, plaintiffs may use evidence to show that the defendant’s failure to provide sufficient security led to similar instances of criminal activity in the past. By continuing to neglect security issues, the present case was foreseeable and thus preventable.

In order to prove their case, plaintiffs may use photographs or videos of the property that demonstrate security problems. They should also obtain a police report documenting the crime, along with any reports indicating other crimes that occurred on the property or within the vicinity. Plaintiffs may also use prior negligent security complaints and surveillance against the owner.

Establishing proof of personal injury or damages may involve gathering documented medical bills and treatments, proof of lost wages, a list of damage done to personal property and/or the cost of repairing or replacing personal property.
