Neglect Security

Hold Property Owners Accountable for the Safety of the Premises

Businesses are expected to do everything reasonable in their power to provide a safe environment for those who enter their premises. Yet in many cases, because of inadequate security, people become victims of serious violent criminal attacks, through no fault of their own.

As Southwest Florida attorneys who handle negligent security cases, we at Goldberg Noone Abraham, have seen numerous instances in which there was a significant prior history of criminal activity on or near a certain property, yet nothing was done to prevent it. On many occasions, apartment complexes have been the scene of violent crimes on numerous occasions, but its owners or managers do nothing to deter the crime.

If, because of this inaction, you or a loved one becomes a victim of a crime, you may have a claim.

Victim of Domestic Violence — Fort Myers, FL — Goldberg Noone Abraham

Business owners and event organizers, who anticipate attendance by the public, must undertake all reasonable measures to make sure their invitees are safe. They must be held accountable for any occurrence in which someone is seriously hurt on their property, otherwise known as premises liability. If an owner or management company fails to keep their property in safe condition or fails to provide adequate security, lighting or other safety precautions and someone is hurt, the property owner, management firm, and their insurance providers can be sued for their negligence.

There are several ways that negligent or inadequate security can be a key factor in a personal injury lawsuit:

  • Poor or non-existent lighting in a parking lot
  • Rotted or missing handrails on stairwells or hallways

  • Damaged steps
