Property owners throughout Florida are legally required to take reasonable steps to protect visitors, tenants, and customers from foreseeable criminal acts — and when they fail, the consequences can be catastrophic. Assaults, shootings, sexual attacks, and violent robberies that occur due to inadequate lighting, absent security personnel, broken access controls, or a failure to address known criminal activity can give rise to a negligent security claim against the property owner. Silva & Silva represents victims of violent crimes caused by property owners’ security failures throughout South Florida — and we hold them accountable. Call us for a free case review.

Hotels, motels, and resorts in Florida bear a heightened duty to protect their guests from foreseeable criminal harm — and the hospitality industry’s own security standards provide a clear benchmark for what “reasonable” looks like. Silva & Silva has represented guests assaulted, robbed, and sexually attacked at properties throughout South Florida, including cases involving broken door locks, malfunctioning cameras, absent security patrols, and management that ignored prior complaints from staff and other guests. The damages in these cases extend well beyond physical injuries — they include psychological trauma, lost wages, and the long-term consequences of violent victimization.

Negligent Security Attorney in Lighthouse Point, FL

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.
