Negligent Security
Negligent Security Attorney Serving Holiday, Clearwater, Palm Harbor & Largo, FL
If you were assaulted, robbed, or injured on someone else’s property in Holiday, Clearwater, Palm Harbor, or Largo, Florida — and the property lacked proper security — you may have grounds for a negligent security claim. Attorney John Andreopoulos aggressively represents victims harmed due to unsafe conditions and works to hold negligent property owners accountable.
When property owners fail to take reasonable precautions — such as maintaining locks, hiring security, or ensuring proper lighting — they can be held legally responsible for resulting injuries.
What Is Negligent Security?
Negligent security is a type of premises liability case that involves injuries caused by criminal acts that could have been prevented with proper safety measures. These cases can arise from incidents in places like:
- Apartment complexes
- Hotels and motels
- Bars and nightclubs
- Parking garages and lots
- Retail stores and shopping centers
If security measures were inadequate or ignored, and you were harmed as a result, you may be entitled to compensation.
Common Examples of Negligent Security
John Andreopoulos has successfully handled negligent security claims throughout Pinellas County and beyond. Some common scenarios include:
- Broken or missing locks that allow intruders access
- Lack of security guards in high-risk areas
- Inadequate lighting in stairwells, parking lots, or hallways
- Failure to address repeated criminal activity on the premises
Property owners have a legal duty to protect visitors and tenants. When they ignore known dangers, victims deserve justice.
