Miami Inadequate Security Lawyers

Serious injuries can occur on private property that is owned by others. In Florida, property owners are legally responsible for providing a safe environment for those who are invited onto their premises. This includes providing adequate security, such as having trained security guards, cameras, and other proper security measures.

Property owners must take steps to maintain and secure their property in a way that any reasonable property owner would. If the property owner fails to implement reasonable security measures and someone is injured as a result of their negligence, the injured party could possibly file a negligent security claim.

The attorneys at Kaire & Heffernan understand the complexity of negligent security cases and premises liability claims. Our team is here to help you get the compensation you deserve. Call us today at 866-769-0123 to set up a free consultation and discuss your legal options. 

Injuries That Might Occur on a Property Lacking Basic Security Measures

A variety of injuries can occur on a property that lacks security. Many of those injuries might be caused by the criminal actions of third parties on the property. The following are some common types of crimes and injuries that happen on unsecured property:

• Assault
• Rape
• Theft
• Homicide
• Harassment
• Intimidation
• Kidnapping
• Stalking

What Kind of Security Is a Property Owner Obligated to Provide?

The exact type and amount of security required for a property depend on the type of property, the location, the intended use, and whether the property owner knows or has reason to know of hazards or prior incidents of persons being injured on the property. The following is a list of just a few of the reasonable security measures that property owners may need to use on their property:

• Adequately lighting the premises.
• Maintaining locks in good repair and proper working condition.
• Closing and locking gates and doors.
• Stationing security guards in hazardous areas.
• Installing electronic security systems.
• Securing enclosed areas against trespassers.
• Addressing criminal or other unauthorized activity on the premises.

Proving Negligent or Inadequate Security on a Property

In order to recover damages from a property owner in negligent security claims for lack of security on the owner’s property, the injured person must prove that:

• The property owner had a legal duty to provide security on the property;
• The property owner breached that legal duty by failing to provide security;
• The property owner’s failure to provide security caused the hurt person’s injuries; and
• The injured person suffered injuries for which the law allows compensation.

It may be helpful to show that other persons have been previously injured on the property and that the property owner did not address the hazardous conditions that caused those injuries.

If you or a loved one has been injured on another person’s property that lacked security, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries, especially if others have been injured on those premises in the past. An experienced negligent security lawyer can help you determine if you have a valid claim and can assist you in navigating the complex legal process.
