Are you someone who was injured on public or private property - and you suspect there was inadequate security? This may be the case if you were assaulted in a mall parking lot without security guards or the parking lot had poor lighting. The more hazardous the conditions are on a property, the more critical it is for the owner to provide adequate security.
Whatever the circumstances of your case, we can help you explore all your available legal options. The Law Offices of Brent C. Miller, P.A., can help. Our Central Florida attorneys have decades of experience handling complex premises liability cases.
Property owners have a legal responsibility to make sure their property is safe for people to use and that they provide reasonable security. This can include commercial properties (hotels, restaurants, stores, and other businesses) and residential properties.
When property owners fail to provide security measures, and someone sustains a severe injury due to lack of security, that is known as a negligent security injury. Such cases fall under premises liability law in Florida.
When this happens, negligent security injury victims should be compensated for their injury-related expenses. Often, such compensation is paid in the form of an injury claim settlement (often paid by the property owner’s insurance company) or as a result of a negligent security lawsuit filed by the injury victim seeking financial compensation.
Negligent security cases can cover a wide range. Some of the most common cases at our law firm include people injured while walking in public places like parking lots, hallways, or stairwells. Property owners should take the necessary precautions if these places are known to be dangerous.
Failure to do so can often result in serious injuries. Examples include:
Whatever the circumstances of your case, make sure you talk to a negligent security attorney as soon as possible to learn more about your legal options.
Did you become a crime victim after property owners failed to provide adequate security for people frequenting it? You may have a valid injury claim or lawsuit. Our Florida negligent security lawyers can evaluate your case.
If we believe you can recover compensation for an injury occurring on a property without adequate security, we will represent you on a contingency basis. This means you will not pay attorneys' fees until we collect compensation.
Perhaps you were attacked in a parking garage, have no memory of what happened, and wonder how to pay your medical bills. A premises liability claim based on negligent security may be the key to recovering compensation for your injuries and losses.
Don't underestimate the complexity of your case. The property owner where you sustained your injury will likely claim that they did nothing wrong. As a result, they will probably refuse to pay for your accident-related damages.
That's not right. That's why we take such cases so seriously at our law firm. Property owners should be held accountable for their actions or inaction. If they did something to cause your injuries, you shouldn't have to pay for their mistakes.
