Boynton Beach Negligent Security Lawyer

Property owners are legally required to ensure security and safety of their property to the best of their abilities. Property security is ruled by premises liability law, which states the owner or person responsible for that property may be held liable for injuries or harm suffered by a person as the result of a dangerous circumstance on said property.

Victims of negligent security may suffer from assault, rape or murder. More recently, courts have ruled that negligent security has been responsible for terrorist attacks, identity theft, and cyberspace attacks.

In a negligent security case, it is imperative to prove that the injury resulted from irresponsible behavior of the property owner, creating an unsafe environment that allowed a third-party attack.

The Boynton Beach negligent security attorneys at Kogan & DiSalvo are highly experienced at handling cases involving negligent security.

• Apartments

When a property owner or manager fails to provide a safe and secure environment for guests, residents, employees or patrons, they may be held liable. Even when a violent crime like assault is committed by another, the property owner or manager may be held accountable for allowing the conditions that fostered that crime under premises liability law.

Examples of Negligent Security

Each type of property has a different set of safety measures that should be implemented by the property owner. The security necessary at a construction site or industrial lot is very different from what is considered adequate for an apartment building or shopping mall. Here are some of the things that may constitute negligent security:

• Inadequate lighting
• Malfunctioning security systems
• Inadequate or poorly maintained physical barriers like fences and locks
• Improper surveillance
• Security guard negligence
• Lack of security cameras or alarms
• Improperly trained security guards
