Negligent Security Claims: Harm Waiting to Happen
What is a negligent security claim? Like most premises liability claims, these claims are really about accidents or injuries that were just waiting to happen or, more accurately — waiting to be prevented.
For example, you might have a valid claim if you had been staying in a hotel and were assaulted in a poorly lit or scarcely patrolled parking garage. Another, more tragic basis for this type of claim would be the small child who drowns because a swimming pool area had no fence or had an unlocked gate.
At Parvey & Frankel, we help people who have been harmed by the negligence of Florida property owners to recover full compensation for their injuries and other losses. If you have recently been the victim of an assault or have had some other type of accident on another's property — talk to our Fort Myers negligent security attorneys and take advantage of the more than 70 years of experience our firm has to offer.
Take pictures, get an incident report, keep a journal and do whatever else you can think of to document the assault or accident. For immediate assistance, contact the personal injury lawyers at Parvey & Frankel. The consultation is free.
Our Negligent Security Practice
As a law firm, we handle personal injury and wrongful death claims throughout Florida. Our extensive experience with negligent security claims includes cases involving:
- Inadequate lighting
- Parking lot and parking garage assaults
- Stairwell attacks
- Hotel assaults
- Cruise ship assaults
- Apartment building break-ins
- Burglary and other theft
- Poor security surveillance of properties in high crime areas
- Swimming pool accidents and drowning deaths
In one recent case involving poor lighting, we successfully represented a client who had been shot in the parking lot of a southwest Florida business. We knew the business was located in a high crime area and during the course of our investigation also discovered that the lights in the parking lot had not only been off on the night our client was shot — but that the lights had not been working for months. The owner knew of the issue, and yet ignored the problem.
In another recent confidential case regarding negligent security, our firm was able to reach a settlement in excess of six million dollars.
