Negligent Security

Miami, South Florida, Negligent Security Attorneys

Have you been the victim of a crime on a commercial property with no security measures in place?
Do you feel the inattentiveness of security guards or the inadequacy of security measures in place contributed to or directly resulted in your attack or robbery?
Do you believe there was a pattern of crime in that area that required the building owner to hire security guards or take other safety precautions?

Property owners have a duty to protect visitors from harm. Depending upon the circumstances, this duty may include providing such security measures as lighting, cameras, locks/security systems and security guards, among others. If the negligence of property owners, inadequacy of security or the inattentiveness of security guards has resulted in your being harmed, Kandell & Kandell, P.A., located just outside Miami, provides aggressive representation and compassionate counsel designed to protect your rights, as well as your best interests.

Steps to Prevent Negligent Security
If a commercial property owner is aware of crime in the immediate or surrounding area, they must take steps to secure the premises, such as hiring qualified security guards. If staff is already in place but serious and violent crimes are on the increase, they must respond appropriately to increase security. Just as the walkways, stairs and elevators must be free from hazards, property owners must do everything reasonably necessary to ensure no patron is harmed by a known risk. If you are a victim of negligent security on commercial or residential property, please contact an attorney at the South Florida law firm of Kandell & Kandell, P.A.

Inattentive and Negligent Security Guards
Security guards are supposed to make staff and visitors feel safe at a commercial or residential building. Not paying attention to the surroundings or being outright negligent in the performance of their basic tasks can result in serious crimes being perpetrated under their watch. To that end, the property owner is legally responsible for any harm suffered by residents or patrons.

Unsafe Conditions That Lead to Security Negligence
Security negligence can also take the form of poor lighting or lack of security cameras in a parking lot. This oversight can lead to assault and battery, robbery, rape and even murder. Your safety is paramount and if the property owner failed to protect staff or visitors, we will hold them accountable.
