At ROSELLI ♦ McNELIS our Attorneys are knowledgeable and experienced, and have successfully represented  Clients in  Premises Liability Cases involving Negligent Security. Premises Liability Law  requires that a Property Owner or Business Owner take reasonable  steps to provide Security of the Premises  when necessary, and these claims are referred to as Negligent Security Cases. Victims of Crime, occurring  while lawfully on  property  with inadequate security measures in place,  may make the Property Owner or Business Owner responsible for resulting  Injuries and Death caused by Criminal Assailants.  It is only necessary that  the Property Owner or Business Owner  should have reasonably  foreseen that some injury  will likely occur  in some manner as a result of his negligence and security lapses.  Foreseeability is often shown by police records of reported crimes in the geographical area, and  by prior incidents or complaints. Under  Florida Law, since the Property Owner or Business Owner  had a duty to protect  persons lawfully on the premises from foreseeable harm by potential criminal assailants on its premises,  the Property Owner or Business Owner cannot shift blame or liability to the criminal assailants.  Criminal Acts such as Robberies, Rapes, Assaults, Kidnaping, and even  Murders can be the result of a lack of adequate and proper security on property such as: Parking Lots, Shopping Centers and Malls, Apartment Buildings, Businesses, Hotels, Schools, Parks, Amusement Parks and other locations.
