Many property owners attempt to write off crime as something that simply happens.

In addition, their insurance companies often seek to place blame for resulting injuries on the victims. Our attorneys will take aggressive, effective, steps to obtain maximum compensation in personal injury case.
According to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report (UCR), in 2005, there were an estimated 1,390,695 violent crimes reported nationwide. These statistics represented an increase of 2.3% in violent crimes over the previous year. When victims are injured or killed as a result of these violent attacks and these attacks should have been prevented by the entity responsible for supervision of the premises where the attack occurred then this is considered in Florida to be a negligent security or premises liability case. This area of law applies to owners of businesses such as hotels, malls, casinos, bars, supermarkets, as well as homes, apartments and other buildings, and public areas such as parking lots.
Often times it is during or after the police and prosecutors office investigates and prosecutes the attackers or Defendants that a civil suit against the culpable business entity, landlord or responsible party is brought in the courts. Liability arises when crime victims suffer injuries from violent attacks, sexual assaults, or robberies due to poor lighting, inadequate surveillance or security.
