Negligent Security

Negligent Security Lawyers

Everyone likes to feel safe and secure. Unfortunately, individuals sometimes have a false sense of security and when they are supposed to be safe, they might not be. This is known as negligent security and it can result in harm and injury. Populated areas such as Downtown Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach are well known areas for incidents such as these.

What is Negligent security?

Negligent security is a type of premises liability  in which a person seeks recovery from the property owner for injuries sustained in a third-party attack. Landlords, business owners, universities and colleges, commercial and residential property owners, and others in possession or ownership of property may be found liable for negligent security. Negligent security claims are typically brought by people physically attacked while on another person’s property, such as tenants of apartment buildings, students assaulted on campus, customers injured while shopping at a mall, or workers injured by other co-workers.

College campuses around the country, including cities in Florida such as Miami, Jacksonville, Gainesville, and Tampa, are becoming more susceptible to attacks on students resulting in negligent security lawsuits.
