Orlando Negligent Security Lawyer
When property owners fail to provide proper safety measures, visitors can become victims of robbery, assault, or other violent crimes. Many of these incidents could have been prevented with adequate lighting, security personnel, or surveillance systems. If you were injured or attacked on someone else’s property, an experienced Orlando negligent security lawyer at Spencer Morgan Law can help you seek justice and financial recovery for your physical and emotional suffering.

Under Florida law, property owners have a duty to provide reasonable security to protect guests and visitors.

Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifies as negligent security?
Any situation where a property owner fails to take reasonable safety measures—such as providing lighting, locks, or guards—may qualify as negligent security.
Can I sue an apartment complex for an assault?
Yes. Landlords can be held liable if inadequate lighting, faulty gates, or lack of security allowed a crime to occur.
What if the attacker was never caught?
You can still pursue a civil claim against the property owner for failing to prevent foreseeable harm.
How long do I have to file a negligent security claim?
Florida law generally allows two years from the date of the incident to file a lawsuit.
What if the property had a history of crime?
A history of prior incidents strengthens your claim that the property owner should have taken stronger security measures.
