Negligent Security Attorney in Hollywood, FL

We recognize that crimes happen across the state and in Hollywood. While there is no way to completely stop criminal activity, property owners have a duty to ensure the safety of their patrons to the best of their ability by providing adequate security.

This looks like:

• Ensuring all locks work on a property so that unauthorized personnel stay out. This is especially important in places like apartments complexes and college dorm areas.
• Surveillance equipment should be functioning and positioned to examine an entire property. Someone should be monitoring these cameras.
• If an establishment is open at night or a property owner expects people to be coming and going at night, the property should be well-lit to deter criminal activity.
• There should be properly trained security guards and they should be available in sufficient numbers.

We recognize that there are some places, usually government offices, that provide law enforcement personnel for security, but they should also ensure all other security precautions are met.

Florida Crime

There are many people coming and going from this area, with a large transient population. 2017 in Florida had some scary numbers that have been consistent over the last few years:

• 1,108 murders
• 7,583 rapes
• 20,132 robberies
• 100,090 burglaries
• 59,678 aggravated assaults

According to Neighborhood Scout, Hollywood is safer than only 12 percent of all US cities and is above the national median for property crimes.

If you are the victim of a crime, you could be harmed both physically and mentally. Long after the physical wounds heal, you may be dealing with emotional scarring.

While no amount of compensation can take the crime away, there is no reason you should be left with nothing.
