Charles Injury Law
When property owners fail to provide adequate security and someone is injured as a result, Florida law allows victims to pursue compensation through a negligent security claim. At our Florida personal injury law firm, we represent victims who have suffered serious injuries due to preventable crimes on commercial and residential properties.
If you or a loved one has been assaulted, shot, robbed, or otherwise harmed because a property owner failed to provide reasonable security, you may have a valid negligent security case.
Negligent Security
Negligent security is a type of premises liability claim. Under Florida law, property owners, landlords, and businesses have a legal duty to maintain reasonably safe premises for lawful visitors. This includes taking reasonable steps to protect guests, customers, and tenants from foreseeable criminal activity.
When property owners fail to implement proper security measures—despite prior similar incidents or known dangers—they can be held financially responsible for injuries that occur as a result.
Where Negligent Security Happens

Victims may be entitled to recover compensation for:
Negligent Security Attorneys
Insurance companies and property owners frequently deny responsibility. They may argue the crime was unforeseeable or blame third-party criminals entirely. An experienced legal team knows how to counter these defenses.
Negligent security claims often require:
Florida law limits the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit. In most personal injury cases, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the incident. Acting quickly helps preserve surveillance footage, witness statements, and critical evidence.
