Criminal attacks can easily take place when businesses or property owners fail to provide adequate security for their patrons. People who own and operate property can be held responsible for injuries that occupants, employees, residents, guests, and customers sustain. Unfortunately, assault crimes including rape, robbery and abduction take place in numerous South Florida commercial locations including West Palm Beach, Miami-Dade and Broward. Malls, gas stations, apartment complexes, stadiums, bars, hotels, college campuses, supermarket and bank parking lots are popular breeding grounds for these types of crimes and frequently leave women and children as victims.
Although these crimes cannot always be prevented, it is the property owners responsibility to eliminate risk and to provide reasonable and adequate security measures to protect people from potentially dangerous situations. Safe environments include proper lighting in dark areas and stairwells, video security and monitoring in high crime areas, working alarm systems and call boxes, efficient locks & doors, keeping bushes and hedges trim, and hiring security guards if necessary.
If you or a family member have been injured or attacked as a result of negligent security, the property owner may be in violation of certain Florida laws and you may be entitled to receive compensation for your injuries or losses.
