Owners and managers of a variety of public properties such as apartment buildings, shopping malls, hotels, and parking garages are expected to provide adequate security measures to protect the safety of people who come onto those properties. Such security measures may range from sturdy locks and adequate lighting to security guards and video cameras. The "adequate" or proper level of security depends on the nature of the property as well as its location; property owners who are aware of incidents of crime in their neighborhoods, for example, may be expected to take stronger measures than owners who may not be on notice that crime would be likely to strike on their property. If you have been assaulted on a public property in Florida and you believe that improper security played a part in causing your injury, you should contact an experienced Florida premises liability attorney.

Some owners or managers, unfortunately, focus more on concerns about cost than on ways to maximize their patrons' safety, or simply neglect to take appropriate safety measures. In such cases, the victims of crime who suffered injuries on someone else's property may sue the property's owner or manager. The victims will have to demonstrate that inadequate security measures contributed to the creation of an environment that made the crimes easier to commit. As in other personal injury cases, in such cases the victims may be able to receive compensation for their pain and suffering, as well as for their medical bills, lost wages, and other related expenses.
