Negligent Security

If you or a loved one were attacked on someone else’s property, the attacker may already have been arrested on criminal charges. But what you may not know is that the property owner may also be partially responsible for the attack. Under Florida law, property owners are responsible for the safety of those on their property, and that includes safety from crime. If the owner failed to provide adequate safety measures, he or she could be found guilty of negligent security. They may also be guilty if they were aware of a security hazard and did nothing to correct it or warn others of the danger. Determining whether or not negligent security contributed to your victimization can be difficult, but a seasoned personal injury attorney at Lakewood Ranch-based Luhrsen Goldberg can help you determine whether you have a negligent security claim.

Negligent Security Can Take a Huge Toll, Both Financially and Emotionally – A Bradenton Personal Injury Attorney May Help You Recover Your Losses and Regain Peace of Mind

Recently, courts have determined that negligent security can also result in terroristic activity and cyber attacks. As the victim of such an attack, you should not be required to pay exorbitant bills for medical care and counseling or be forced to deal with lost money due to a security breach or lost income from time taken off of work. Even when the attacker is caught and prosecuted, this rarely results in financial compensation for the victim. A negligent security lawsuit allows the victim to obtain compensation for their significant expenses, as well as for the pain and suffering they have endured. In addition, it calls careless property owners to task to help prevent similar attacks from befalling others in the future.
