Injury Caused By Negligent Security? We Can Help.
We are especially sensitive to the needs of victims of negligent security. We know that the psychological damage can be as hard to bear as any physical injury and will work diligently, relentlessly and compassionately to obtain maximum compensation and let the healing process begin.
— Attorney Arturo Dopazo III
Negligent security can be among the most tragic of all personal injury cases. A hallway with missing light bulbs or a broken security gate can be an open invitation for criminal activity and can result in residents, visitors or guests suffering sexual assault, serious injury or even wrongful death. Lack of security cameras in a dangerous area can lead to armed robbery in which you, your child, spouse, parent or other family member may be wounded.
Did you know that if you or a loved one is the victim of negligent security, you could be entitled to compensation for your injuries? Money may be available through the Florida Crime Victims Compensation Fund, but the owners of property with poor or inadequate security may have to pay.
Under premises liability law, property owners are legally obligated to take reasonable steps to make sure that their apartment complex, store, hotel, mall, gas station, supermarket, parking lot or other facility is safe and secure for all guests, tenants and visitors. When they do not, and the result is catastrophic injury or even death, they must bear responsibility for damages.
As in any personal injury case, you should contact a lawyer as soon as possible in the event of injury. Call the Miami-area Law Offices of Arturo Dopazo III at 305-909-6477 to arrange for a free, confidential consultation. Our phone is answered 24 hours a day.
