Negligent Security

Unfortunately, many people who have a claim never contact a Florida negligent security attorney and never get the compensation they deserve. At Flaxman Law Group, my legal team sees it often: people who have been injured don’t always know their rights and think they can call the police but nothing more than that.

If you or someone you love has been injured due to a rape a robbery a burglary and assault or a battery you may think that these things are just crimes and nothing can be done, other than seeing that the criminal goes to jail. But there may be more that you can do. This could be a case of inadequate security.

If you have been injured in any way, I invite you call me and my team at Flaxman Law Group at 866-352-9626. We staff our phone lines 24/7 so you can always reach a live person. We can set up a free, no obligation consultation with an attorney. With no risk, you can get answers and find out more about how you can seek compensation for your injuries. You can also contact us online at any time.

An inadequate security claim may be possible when a property owner fails to provide protection for the patrons and guests. A property owner, for example, could be hiring a security guard or off-duty policeman, setting up surveillance cameras, or posting signs saying the place is under surveillance. There are many things that a property owner should do, particularly if the area is in a high crime area where there have been other crimes before.

You can call the police when you are targeted in a crime. However, it can be worthwhile to explore all your options by speaking with an inadequate security attorney in Hollywood or your South Florida community. The reality is that your injuries may end up costing you more than you think. You may need surgery or medical care. You may want to seek therapy to deal with the trauma or you may be unable to work while you heal. All of this costs money. Without compensation, you may end up paying these costs out of pocket. By filing a claim, though, you can seek justice and also the compensation you need to rebuild your life after an attack.

Inadequate security claims are complex, and you can be sure the insurance company and property owner will do everything they can to avoid paying. An attorney knows the law and the tactics insurance companies use. An experienced attorney also knows how to prove the extent of your injuries and how to pursue compensation for you.

Here’s an example from my case files: I represented a policeman who was visiting from New Jersey on vacation with his mother. He was walking in a parking lot when an assailant came up, pulled a gun and asked for money. Being a police officer, my client immediately grabbed the assailant and pushed his arm down. Unfortunately, the gun went off and shot a large hole through my client’s foot. We were able to prove that there were numerous crimes at that apartment complex before this particular incident. We were able to collect money for his pain and suffering, his medical bills, and money for the rest of his life because he could no longer be an active-duty police officer due to the fact that his foot was so severely injured. We have extensive experience handling this area of the law.

I have years as a trial lawyer, and I'll be happy to help you if you think you've been the victim of inadequate security.
