Property and Business Owners May Be
Liable When Customers Are Injured
Business owners, including retail stores,
hotels, malls, shopping centers, office parks, apartment complexes, and commercial properties,
have an obligation to keep their premises safe for customers and guests. If they know or
should know of a dangerous condition, then they have an obligation to remedy the hazard and
make the premises safe for their customers.
Inadequate Security
Lawsuit
Unfortunately, customers and guests have
increasingly become victims of violent crimes at public retail stores, hotels, malls, shopping
centers, office parks, apartment complexes, including assault and battery, robbery, shootings,
stabbings, and rape.
When a customer or guest becomes a victim of
crime on business property open to the public, then a central question becomes whether the
business owner provided adequate security.
- Is the parking patrolled by
security? Were these security personnel performing their duties?
- Are the premises monitored by
security or surveillance cameras? Were they properly and timely
monitored?
- Did the property owner or manager
know about incidents of criminal activity?
- Did the property owner or manager
take steps to prevent incidents of criminal activity occurring at the
property?
- Did the hotel, motel, or apartment
complex inform or warn guests or tenants of ongoing criminal
activity?
- Was there adequate lighting for
the walkways, staircases, parking lot between dusk and dawn
hours?
In Southwest Florida, including Bonita
Springs, Cape Coral, Clewiston,
Fort Myers, Labelle, Naples, North Port, Bradenton, Sarasota, Venice, Immokalee, Estero,
Golden Gate Lehigh Acres, Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, and beyond, commercial property
owners -- malls, retail stores, plazas, hotels, motels, and apartments -- should take their
guests' safety seriously. Safety and prevention is paramount and takes
planning.
Did inadequate security or negligent security
result in devastating injuries to you or a loved one? Did this occur on commercial
property?
Victims of criminal activity on commercial
properties open to the public may be physically injured and mentally scarred for
life. If you have been the victim of injury at an apartment complex, hotel, motel,
shopping center, parking lot, parking garage, or mall, due to negligent security, then
contact our personal injury attorneys for a free and honest assessment of your inadequate
security claim.
