Negligent Security

Negligent security is a form of premises liability, in which an owner or operator can be held liable for injuries that occur on their property. Also called inadequate security, these injuries may take place in many locations, including hotels, shopping malls, amusement parks, schools, restaurants, parking lots, medical centers and airports. If you or a loved one has suffered from an injury on another person's property please call The Law Offices of Schiller, Kessler & Gomez, PLC, PLC to discuss your case.

People who own and operate property in the State of Florida are legally responsible for the injuries that occupants, employees, guests and customers sustain due to their negligence. They must maintain the property in a safe manner to protect people from dangerous situations. Some of these safety measures may include proper lighting in dark areas, private security in high crime areas, functioning locks on all doors and adequate alarm systems.

The adequacy of the safety measures will vary according to the type of business. For instance, places of amusement, such as a sports stadium, have a continuous duty to look after the safety of patrons, since food and drinks are being sold, and customers are constantly carrying and spilling these items. A safety program must always take into account human imperfection and guard against foreseeable mistakes. In a retail setting, merchandise displays are positioned at eye level and designed to attract customer attention and generate profits. The customer is not expected to look down for hazards all the time.

If these and other essential safety precautions are not taken, innocent people may become victims of injury. There are many possible consequences of negligent security, including:

• Robbery
• Bone fractures
• Head trauma
• Slip and fall accidents
• Rape
• Personal Injuries
• Abduction
• Death

These experiences may be very traumatic for the victim and may leave him or her with physical and emotional problems. You have the right to hold the negligent property owner or operator liable for your injuries. With the representation of an experienced negligent security lawyer you may be able to recover monetary compensation for your injuries.
