What Is a Negligent Security Claim?

Negligent security cases arise when a property owner fails to implement proper security measures, leading to preventable criminal acts such as:

• Assaults & Violent Attacks in parking lots, nightclubs, hotels, or apartment complexes.
• Robberies & Muggings at gas stations, banks, shopping malls, and ATM locations.
• Shootings or Stabbings in public places with known criminal activity.
• Sexual Assaults due to lack of security personnel, lighting, or surveillance.
• Break-ins & Home Invasions at apartment buildings with faulty or broken locks.

Florida law holds property owners liable for injuries caused by foreseeable crimes when they fail to provide adequate security.
