When you are lawfully on someone else’s property—whether it’s an apartment complex, parking garage, hotel, or shopping center—you have a right to feel safe. Property owners in Florida have a legal responsibility to take reasonable steps to protect visitors from foreseeable criminal acts. When they fail to provide adequate security and someone is assaulted, robbed, or attacked, the owner can be held liable for the resulting trauma and injuries.
At Florida Injury Solutions Group, we fight for victims of violent crime, holding negligent property owners accountable for failing to prioritize safety. If you were harmed because a property lacked proper security, we are here to help you seek justice.

A negligent security claim is a type of premises liability case. It argues that a property owner’s failure to implement reasonable security measures was a direct cause of the victim’s injuries from a third-party criminal act.
We handle cases involving inadequate or negligent security at locations such as:
Apartment & Condominium Buildings: Lack of functioning gates, broken locks, or poor lighting in common areas.
Parking Lots & Garages: Insufficient lighting, no surveillance cameras, or lack of security patrols.
Hotels & Motels: Failure to secure hallways, provide working room locks, or monitor guest access.
Shopping Malls & Retail Stores: Inadequate security presence in areas known for criminal activity.
Nightclubs, Bars & Restaurants: Lack of trained security staff (bouncers) to prevent or break up fights.
ATMs & Banks: Poor visibility and lack of cameras.
Office Buildings & Workplaces.
“Reasonable security” depends on the property and whether crime was “foreseeable” (e.g., if there was a history of crime in the area). Examples of security failures include:
Poor or Broken Lighting
Lack of Functioning Surveillance Cameras
Broken Gates or Defective Locks on doors and windows
Failure to Hire or Properly Train Security Guards
Lack of Alarms or Emergency Call Boxes
Failure to Warn Residents or Visitors of Known Dangers
These are complex cases that require a deep investigation to link the lack of security to the criminal attack. The experienced attorneys at Florida Injury Solutions Group will:
Analyze Crime Grids: We obtain local police records to show a history of prior crimes in the area, proving the attack was foreseeable.
Review the Property’s Security Measures: We thoroughly inspect the property and its security protocols (or lack thereof).
Depose Property Owners and Managers: We question them under oath about their knowledge of security risks.
Work with Security Experts: We retain law enforcement and security professionals to testify on what reasonable security measures should have been in place.
The harm from a physical attack goes far beyond the initial injuries. We fight for compensation to cover:
Medical Bills and Emergency Care
Psychological Counseling for PTSD, Anxiety, and Trauma
Lost Wages and Future Earning Ability
The Immense Pain, Suffering, and Emotional Distress of the Attack
Experienced and Determined: We have the skill to handle these complex and sensitive cases and are not afraid to take on large property management companies.
Compassionate and Discreet: We understand the profound trauma our clients have endured and provide a supportive, confidential environment.
Thorough Investigators: We leave no stone unturned in our quest to prove that a property owner’s negligence contributed to your harm.
No Win, No Fee Guarantee: You pay absolutely nothing unless we secure a financial recovery for you.
While we can’t undo what happened, we can fight for the justice and resources you need to begin healing.
