    NEGLIGENT / INADEQUATE SECURITY

    “Pursuing Justice when Peoples’ Lives are Changed Forever”

    Whether walking to a car in a parking garage at night
    or doing a load of laundry in an apartment complex
    basement, inadequate security endangers
    the safety of others. At the Butler Law Group, we
    hold negligent property owners liable for inadequate
    security that results in foreseeable physical assault,
    personal injury, even death. Working with
    investigators, law enforcement criminologists, and
    industry safety experts, we identify ways in which
    security at an apartment complex, parking garage,
    public facility, or retail store failed to adequately
    protect its tenants and customers from foreseeable
    danger.

    We represent clients in Jacksonville, Gainesville, Orlando, Pensacola, Tallahassee,
    Daytona Beach, St. Augustine, Palm Coast, Lake City, and throughout Florida.

    Failure to provide security guards, security cameras, or properly functioning door locks
    where needed contributes to the endangerment of others when a foreseeable danger
    exists. Don’t be a victim – contact Florida negligent security lawyers at the
    Butler Law group, and demand justice.

    When Inadequate Security Leads to Serious Injuries
    The Butler Law Group represents clients injured due to the following kinds of negligent
    security measures:

  • Unlocked entry way doors
  • Absence of security cameras
  • Open gates or loading bay doors
  • Poorly lit stairwells or parking garages
  • Absence of security guards or attendants
  • Failure to properly screen employees or visitors

    A Reasonable Expectation of Safety
    While we don’t live in a risk free world, property owners, retail stores, and residential
    complex managers have a duty of care in regard to avoiding foreseeable security lapses
    that threaten others. For instance, previous criminal activity committed in a poorly lit
    parking garage, puts the owner on notice that criminal activity could reoccur on his
    property, and endanger innocent customers.

    Our premises liability lawyers investigate such matters, and identify security lapses and
    threats that should have been addressed to prevent foreseeable injury to others. And,
    since these cases often involve psychological trauma beyond any physical injuries that
    may occur, we work with mental health professionals to address the suffering endured
    by our clients.

    Legal Representation Demanding Justice
    Negligent security cases involve people who are victimized in ways that go beyond
    physical scars and damage. It often takes years for assault or rape victims to feel safe
    again. We speak for those who can no longer speak for themselves. Read some of our
    cases summaries.

    Failure to provide appropriate security can rob someone of much more than their sense
    of security – it can rob them of their freedom and dignity. At the Butler Law Group, we
    demand adequate compensation for wounds that are more than just physical – contact
    Jacksonville negligent security lawyers today.
