What is a Florida negligent security claim?

A:

In Florida, negligent security refers to a type of premises liability claim in which a person injured by a crime while on another person's property seeks compensation for his or her injuries from the owner of that property. Landlords, business owners, schools, universities and colleges, residential property owners, and commercial property owners can be held liable for crimes in Palm Beach County if they fail to warn of the risk of a crime or create conditions that made a crime more likely to occur. Examples include: failure to hire security guards, failure to repair broken locks, failure to provide a secure entryway, and failure to provide adequate lighting. Only a skilled West Palm Beach negligent security attorney can tell you if you have a valid claim.
