Like any major metropolitan area, Miami is full of large public spaces, including hotels, office buildings, apartments, shopping malls and centers, museums, restaurants, convenience stores, and gas stations. And as is true in all major cities, it can and does happen that crimes, injuries, and other incidents can arise due to inadequate premises security.
According to general common law, it is incumbent upon those who control a place where criminal activity could reasonably take place to do everything in their power to protect visitors and customers against third party criminal acts. Basically, if you run any kind of business or manage any facility where third party crime could forseeably take place, you must attempt to secure the premises to avoid harm.
Our lawyers at Leesfield & Partners have several decades of Miami premises security litigation experience and have successfully won many cases. Examples of crimes due to inadequate premises security are robberies, sexual assaults, and criminal assaults.
Basically, the owners or managers of any venue where criminal incidents could occur are legally obligated to provide appropriate premises security measures to avoid such criminal activity.
