Negligent Security Attorney

​

Attacked where you should have been safe? Florida law requires property owners, managers, and landlords to take reasonable steps to protect the people lawfully on their property from foreseeable crime. When a property with a known crime problem still won't fix the gate, the lighting, the locks, or the missing security — and someone is assaulted, robbed, raped, or killed — that is negligent security, and the property can be held responsible.

Boysaw Law has handled these cases for more than 25 years, including some of the firm's largest results: $3,000,000 for the family of a father shot and killed at an apartment complex, and $1,200,000 for a woman abducted from a commercial property and raped. Florida's negligent security law changed in 2023, and these cases now turn on the property's crime history and the security it actually had in place. Our investigator — a retired Palm Beach County Sheriff's officer — starts gathering that proof from day one.

Negligent security commonly occurs at or near:

– Apartments
– Housing developments
– Hotels
– Colleges & universities

   (dorms and on-campus buildings)
– Shopping malls
– Pubs & bars
– Night clubs
– Amusement parks
– Restaurants
