You thought you were safe. There were security guards present and security cameras watching the area. But the guards had little training and the cameras weren’t operating because they were just for show. So the cameras didn’t see the intruder coming and the guards froze. Now you have serious injuries and financial losses.

Steps to Take After a Negligent Security Incident
Negligent security makes a location less safe, placing you at risk of assault, rape, robbery, and other violent crimes that can result in serious injuries and financial losses. Should you find yourself in such a situation, there are steps you can take to provide for your safety and begin building your case for compensation.
- Call the police: A crime is taking place or has taken place, so calling the police is a must. The police can apprehend the perpetrator, evaluate the lack of security, and create a report.
- Inform the property owner: If you are able to inform the property owner of the incident, you should do so.
- Seek medical treatment: We strongly urge you to seek medical attention for your injuries so your doctor can attend to your injuries. This will also allow them to document your injuries and necessary treatment, which you can use as evidence in your claim.
- Consult a negligent security lawyer in Central Florida: We recommend consulting an attorney with experience handling negligent security cases as soon as possible. A lawyer can protect your rights and provide you with options.
