Florida Negligent Security Lawyers
When Negligence Changes Everything, You Need a Firm Built for Complex Litigation
When companies send employees or contractors into high-risk regions, they have a duty to provide adequate security and protection—failures that can lead to serious injury, kidnapping, or loss of life. In fact, employers may be held liable when they fail to implement proper safety measures for personnel working in dangerous environments.
We Respond at a Moment’s Notice
The world has become an increasingly dangerous place, particularly after September 11th, 2001. The safety of employees and contractors working on assignments in strife-torn countries should be a paramount concern for multinational corporations and other businesses.
Frequently, businesses contract with highly trained individuals to provide materials and/or technical expertise in dangerous areas of the world, such as Venezuela, Colombia, and Iraq. Costs for employee and agent security have become a major consideration, and these costs are often built into the contracted work scope.
With an ever-increasing terrorist threat and the rampant kidnappings of these individuals around the globe, more and more multinational firms are increasingly being held liable for negligent protection and other corporate personnel acts or omissions, which may have led to personal injuries or loss of life to their personnel.
Silva & Silva has successfully represented claimants and family members in these very unique and complex situations. In time-sensitive scenarios such as these, our firm is staffed with current and former corporate security professionals who are prepared to respond anywhere in the world at a moment’s notice on behalf of our clients.
