Negligent security claims can arise from a variety of locations where safety measures were inadequate. Some common places where these claims occur include:
If you were attacked or injured at any of these locations due to inadequate security, you may be entitled to file a negligent security lawsuit.
In 2023, the passing of HB 837 introduced significant changes to the liability of multifamily residential property owners , which could affect your negligent security claim.
Under Florida Statutes Section 768.0706, property owners who adhere to specific safety guidelines, such as installing security cameras, providing adequate lighting, and ensuring proper door and window security, are presumed to be not liable for criminal acts by third parties occurring on their property.
This presumption presents a higher burden of proof to plaintiffs seeking to hold multifamily residential property owners liable for negligent security. They must demonstrate that the property owner’s safety measures were inadequate or not properly implemented.
This recent legal change means it can be more difficult to prove negligence in a security-related lawsuit if a multifamily residential property owner has complied with the required safety measures.
If you were hurt by negligent security in an apartment or other multifamily residential unit, it’s essential to work with an experienced attorney who is familiar with the nuances of this law and experienced in litigating negligent security cases.
