Negligent Security

Shootings, stabbings, robberies, assaults, and violent attacks happen every day in Florida and Texas — often in places where the property owner knew crime was a problem but did nothing to protect residents, customers, or visitors.

Finman Law Group steps in immediately to hold negligent property owners accountable and fight for the full compensation you deserve. Corporations have lawyers. Insurance companies have lawyers. You need a law firm that knows how to beat them.

What Is Negligent Security?

Negligent security occurs when a property owner fails to take reasonable steps to keep people safe from foreseeable crime.

Examples include:

• No security guards
• Broken or missing gates
• Poor lighting
• Broken locks
• No cameras
• Ignored crime patterns
• Failure to warn residents
• Allowing dangerous individuals on the property

If the crime was foreseeable, the property owner may be liable.
