Understanding Negligent Security Claims
Negligent security is a branch of premises liability law. It holds property owners and managers legally responsible when someone is injured on their property because of inadequate or nonexistent security measures, particularly when the risk of harm was foreseeable.
Florida law requires property owners to exercise reasonable care to protect lawful visitors from harm. When crime or violence on or near a property is known or foreseeable, owners are expected to take proactive steps to address it. If they fail to do so and someone is injured, they can be held liable for the resulting damages.
Negligent security incidents can happen in various locations throughout Fort Lauderdale. Some of the most common scenes of negligent security claims include:
- Apartment complexes
- Hotels and motels
- Nightclubs and bars
- Shopping centers
- Parking garages and parking lots
- Convenience stores
- Gas stations
- School and college campuses
- Hospitals and medical facilities
- Office buildings

In a successful negligent security claim, you can recover economic damages such as your current and future medical costs, lost wages, property damages, and other financial losses. You can also recover non-economic damages, including pain and suffering, mental and emotional distress, and other intangible costs.
How a Fort Lauderdale Negligent Security Lawyer Can Help You
