Orange County Negligent Security Lawyers
Florida is now the 8th most violent state in the country according to crime data released by the FBI and compiled by USA Today. As residents, we love our home state, but we must still take every precaution to the ensure our safety and the safety of our families. Similarly, property owners must keep others safe from harm on their property, including from criminal assault or robbery. Failure by a property owner to provide adequate protection against crime on their property or in their establishment is called “security negligence.” If you or a loved one was injured because of security negligence, you may be entitled to financial compensation.

Surviving a violent crime is one of the most frightening experiences a person can experience. Violent crime injuries can include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, broken bones, psychological distress, and wrongful death.
