Negligent Security Lawyer in Big Pine Key, FL

Negligent security cases are built on the principle of foreseeability — a property owner is liable for criminal acts on their premises when they knew or should have known that criminal activity was a foreseeable risk and failed to take reasonable steps to prevent it. Establishing foreseeability requires evidence of prior criminal incidents at or near the property, the owner’s awareness of security deficiencies, and expert testimony about industry-standard security practices. Silva & Silva handles these complex cases throughout Florida, combining premises liability expertise with aggressive discovery to uncover the evidence property owners try to hide — including prior incident reports, security camera footage, maintenance records for broken locks and lighting, and security contractor agreements.

Florida’s negligent security law creates liability for property owners when they fail to implement reasonable security measures that could have prevented a foreseeable criminal act. What counts as reasonable depends on the type of property, its location, its history of criminal incidents, and the security practices used by comparable properties. Silva & Silva has the experience to analyze these factors, identify where security failed, and build a compelling case against property owners, management companies, and security contractors who share responsibility for your injuries. We handle every negligent security case on a contingency fee basis — no upfront cost, no fee unless we recover compensation for you.
