Miami businesses want you to come onto their property and spend money. Under Florida law, they also have a duty to make sure you are safe from foreseeable criminal acts that can injure you. If you have been the victim of an assault or crime stemming from negligent security in Miami, our negligent security attorneys can help you!
Many people are not aware that Florida law requires the owner of a Miami business establishment to be aware of prior and current criminal activity in their area through newspaper reports and by studying information in county records. When an area has significant criminal activity such as prior assaults, purse snatchings, robberies, or vehicle break-ins, the business owner has a legal duty to provide security to protect guests and customers.
When business owners fail to provide adequate security, it can result in personal injury or wrongful death. The negligent security attorneys of Leesfield & Partners represent people who have been hurt due to inadequate or negligent security. For example, when a store clerk at an outlet mall was sexually assaulted in the store in the middle of the day, our attorneys argued that the absence of security at the mall contributed to the crime. Our lawyers obtained a $1,136,000 award in this case.
