You have a right to feel reasonably safe at a restaurant or a shopping center. After all, these are establishments that have a level of security in place, right? Unfortunately, not all property owners do the right thing. Some cut corners to save money by skimping on security measures, despite the foreseeability of potential security risks.
When property owners carelessly fail to provide for the safety of their patrons and employees, they can be held liable for any injuries or deaths that occur as a result. If you or someone you love were hurt because of negligent security, a lawyer from Dismuke Law can handle your legal case to recover compensation in Tampa, FL.
Your Negligent Security Attorney Can Recover Damages in Tampa, FL
Perhaps you were the victim of an assault in a parking lot, and you now have broken bones, a concussion, and internal bleeding. Or maybe you were out shopping with someone, and your companion was murdered in front of you. In either scenario, you could be entitled to compensation to cover your losses if the injuries or the wrongful death are the result of negligence.
The property owner may not have set up enough security cameras or didn’t employ enough security guards. These are prime examples of negligent security that give you the right to recover damages.
Our law firm can pursue damages for you in Tampa, including:
- Economic damages to cover current and future medical bills, current and future lost income, household services, childcare, property damage, counseling services, and physical therapy.
- Non-economic damages to cover pain and suffering, emotional distress, disability, disfigurement, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment, and psychological trauma.
In addition, we can recover wrongful death damages that could cover medical bills, lost income, and funeral expenses. If you lost someone you love because of negligent security, we offer you and your family our sincerest condolences and support during this painful time. We can take care of your case so you can focus on grieving.
We can take all of the above damages that apply to you into account when we calculate the value of your claim. We have secured multi-million dollar settlements for our clients, and there are no restrictions on the amount of compensation you can receive to cover damages in Florida.
Build a Solid Case With a Negligent Security Lawyer on Your Side in Tampa, FL
After suffering an injury on someone else’s property, we urge you to immediately call the police, inform the property owner, seek medical treatment, and consult a lawyer.
The police can write up an official report, while your doctor can document your injuries and medical treatments, both of which your lawyer can present as evidence. A lawyer with experience handling negligent security cases can also provide you with solid counsel, advice, and options.
Our law firm has been handling personal injury cases, including negligent security, for nearly twenty years. We can:
- Guide you through the legal process and be an advocate for your best interests
- Investigate the negligence and gather evidence to support your claim
- Determine the value of your claim by calculating the damages that apply to you
- Negotiate a fair settlement with the negligent party and their insurance provider
- Review the terms of any settlement agreement with you before you sign it
- File a lawsuit and represent you at trial as we present your case to a jury, if necessary
- Come to your location to talk about your case if you are unable to come to our office
- Treat you with respect and provide regular updates on the status of your case
Having your own legal representation evens the playing field since the negligent party and their insurance provider will have lawyers representing their interests as well. The property owner won’t want their premiums to rise, and the insurance company won’t want to make a payout because insurance companies are profit driven.
However, you have injuries and financial losses, and you need compensation to cover them so you can regain a sense of normalcy in your life and feel more secure about the future. We can help.
Our Negligent Security Lawyers Work on Contingency in Tampa, FL
Perhaps you want to consult with and hire a lawyer to handle your case, but you worry about the cost. We understand. You already have crushing medical bills and you may not be able to work to earn an income while you heal, so money is tight.
However, we work on a contingency fee basis, which means you don’t have to pay us unless we win your case, and you obtain compensation. Our fee comes from a percentage of your settlement or court award. We can explain in more detail upfront so there are no surprises.
There’s also no need to worry about paying us to evaluate your case and answer your questions because we offer free consultations.
You Only Have a Short Time to Act on Your Negligent Security Case
While you can take some time to consider your options, you only have two years to file a personal injury or a wrongful death lawsuit in Florida, according to Florida Statutes § 95.11.
You will lose the ability to file a lawsuit for compensation if you do not file before the deadline in your case. We can work hard to meet the statute of limitations, so you don’t lose your right to seek restitution and justice through the legal process.
