Negligent Security Accidents Lawyer

Negligent security accidents cover a wide range of incidents from trips and falls to assaults and even murder. Lately, some courts have even added terrorist attacks and cyberattacks under the umbrella of negligent security. What this means for the victims is that there is legal recourse available to you to both receive compensation for your injuries and help prevent the same thing from happening to someone else.

Negligent security can exist in many places, including:

The Beregovich Law Firm handles many types of negligent security cases in Florida. We work with victims to establish the facts of the case and prove that the property owner was negligent in his/her duty to keep the property safe.

A key tenant of Florida negligent security laws is that the injury must have resulted because of an action or inaction on the part of the property owner. Florida property owners are required to take reasonable steps to prevent foreseeable dangers on their property. This includes things like being aware of crime in the area and adding security lights to make the property safer and dissuade criminal activity. Likewise, properties with pools should have gates, locks, or safety measures that prevent children from accessing the pool without an adult. Broken steps and sidewalks should be fixed to prevent falls. If risks exist and the property owner takes no action to minimize those risks, a negligent security lawsuit may be filed.

Lawsuits hinge on the foreseeability of the incident, which can be difficult to prove. Consultation with our personal injury attorney can establish the facts and determine whether or not you have a case.
