Florida Negligent Security Attorneys

Negligent security can lead to preventable crimes and serious injuries. Property owners have a duty to ensure their premises are safe for visitors, and failing to do so can have devastating consequences. At Nogues Dinetz, we fight for victims who have suffered due to inadequate security measures at events, concerts, nightclubs, restaurants, special occasions and more.

Property Owner Responsibility

A breach of duty occurs when a property owner fails to exercise reasonable care in securing their premises. It is the burden of the property owner to take measures to ensure the safety of guests. If security measures are not properly implemented, they may be held liable for injuries or harm caused by criminal activity on their property. Negligence security can look like the following:

• Inadequate Lighting: Poor lighting can create unsafe conditions by allowing criminals to hide in the shadows.
• Inadequate Security Personnel: A lack of security guards or improperly trained personnel can leave people vulnerable to criminal activity.
• Inadequate Locks: Broken or faulty locks on doors and windows increase the risk of break-ins and assaults.
• Inadequate Security Systems: Malfunctioning surveillance cameras or poorly maintained security equipment can fail to deter or record criminal incidents.
• Inadequate Security in Parking Lots: Poorly lit and unmonitored parking lots can become hotspots for crime, including assaults and carjackings.

Shooting Incidents in South Florida

If you were injured in a shooting incident where the property owner may be fully or partially responsible, you may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical Expenses: Victims of shootings often suffer severe injuries, including brain trauma, paralysis, and permanent disabilities. Medical care may be required for life, leading to millions in costs.
• Lost Income & Future Earnings: Compensation may be pursued for lost wages and diminished earning capacity due to lasting injuries.
• Pain and Suffering: Victims often endure extreme physical pain and emotional distress due to the trauma of the incident.
• Wrongful Death Compensation: If a shooting incident results in a fatality, the victim’s lawful surviving heirs may seek damages for the loss, including funeral and burial expenses.
• Punitive Damages: In cases of extreme negligence or egregious misconduct, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the property owner and deter future negligence.
