Negligent Security Claims

Did you know that Florida law requires business and property owners to make sure their customers and guests are safe? In fact, in certain situations, they have a duty to protect customers from foreseeable criminal acts. Florida law also requires that business owners be aware of prior crime in the area. When an area has had significant criminal activity in the past, the owner must provide security and sufficient lighting. Also, property owners have a responsibility to ensure that no safety hazards are present on their property and do not cause harm to their guests. For example, homeowners who have pools must take steps to protect any children who might visit. The doctrine of negligent security allows recovery by injured parties against property owners and property managers for foreseeable criminal acts by third parties. The bottom line is the law states that anyone who invites guests or customers onto his or her property has certain responsibilities for the safety of those people. If you or someone you know was physically harmed at places including apartments, hotels and motels, shopping centers, malls and other public areas you may have a negligent security claim.
