Negligent Security

When a property owner is aware of problems or criminal elements and makes no accommodation for his guests or the public.

Every day, innocent people throughout Florida, including in counties such as Hernando and Pasco, become victims of crime. Many of these crimes could have been prevented with proper security measures. In Florida, property owners have a duty to protect others from harm, including criminal attacks. They can be held liable in negligent security cases when they fail to implement adequate safety measures or warn visitors of dangerous conditions.

At The Law Offices of Whittel & Melton, our personal injury attorneys can represent victims who were injured because property owners failed to provide proper security. Negligent security claims commonly involve:

• bar fights
• parking lot attacks
• hold ups at ATMS and Parking lots
• rape in parking lots or apartment buildings
• poor hotel security
• Attacks in elevators and stairwells
• Negligent college campus and dorm room security
• Inadequate nursing home or assisted living residence security
• Inadequate parking lot surveillance
• Negligent theme park and shopping mall security
