Violent crime is rising across Florida and Texas — especially in apartment complexes, hotels, motels, parking lots, and parking garages.
When property owners fail to provide proper security, innocent people pay the price. Shootings, stabbings, robberies, assaults, and sexual attacks happen every day in places where the property owner knew crime was a problem but did nothing to protect residents, guests, or customers.
Finman Law Group steps in immediately to uncover the truth, 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.
Where Negligent Security Happens Most Often
This page focuses on the three highestrisk, highestvalue locations:
1. Apartment Complex Negligent Security
The #1 source of negligent security cases in Florida and Texas.
Apartment owners and management companies often:
- Ignore broken gates
- Leave parking lots dark
- Fail to hire security
- Ignore repeated shootings
- Disable cameras
- Allow anyone to walk in
- Fail to warn residents about crime
These failures lead to:
- Shootings
- Armed robberies
- Sexual assaults
- Home invasions
- Stabbings
- Kidnappings
- Domestic violence escalations
If the apartment complex knew about crime — and did nothing — they can be held liable.
2. Hotel & Motel Negligent Security
Hotels and motels attract crime when they cut corners on safety.
Common failures include:
- No security guards
- Poor lighting
- Broken locks
- No cameras
- Untrained staff
- Allowing dangerous individuals on property
- Ignoring prior incidents
These failures lead to:
- Parking lot attacks
- Room invasions
- Assaults
- Robberies
- Sexual assaults
- Kidnappings
- Human trafficking incidents
Hotels often deny responsibility — we force them to take it.
3. Parking Lot & Parking Garage Negligent Security
Parking areas are some of the most dangerous locations in both states.
Common failures include:
- No lighting
- No cameras
- No patrols
- Broken gates
- Blind spots
- No emergency call boxes
- Ignored crime patterns
These failures lead to:
- Carjackings
- Robberies
- Shootings
- Assaults
- Sexual assaults
- Kidnappings
If the property owner failed to secure the area, they can be held liable.
What Makes These Cases So Strong?
Because crime in these locations is predictable.
Property owners know:
- Crime statistics
- Prior incidents
- Police calls
- Resident complaints
- Security reports
- Lighting failures
- Gate malfunctions
When they ignore these warnings, they are responsible for the violence that follows.
