As Chair of the Resort Torts Litigation Group, Ira Leesfield and the resort torts attorneys at Leesfield & Partners have litigated a countless number of cases involving inadequate and negligent security.
In many cases where a person is assaulted, raped, killed or catastrophically injured, our resort torts lawyers will be able to find liability on a business for lack of security. The law requires that commercial and residential areas take steps to ensure a safe environment for those who enter them. If they do not, and a criminal assault, mugging, rape or other criminal attack ensues, the victim may be entitled to recover damages. This is an area of the law known as Resort Torts - Negligent Security.
If you are the victim of a criminal assault anywhere in the state of Florida, a Florida resort torts attorney will be able to determine whether you can be compensated for any injuries a criminal perpetrator has inflicted on you or a loved one.
How a Resort Torts Attorney can help?
When someone has been the victim of a criminal assault in Florida, a resort torts attorney will investigate and determine whether the owner of the premises where the assault took place provided adequate security and whether they have been negligent. The general common law principle is that there is no duty to protect against harm caused by the criminal act of a third party. The exception is that a duty is imposed to take reasonable measures where such criminal acts are foreseeable.
