Security Negligence

Overview

CSK also focuses on defending residential and commercial properties and their insurers against negligent security claims, arising from Class I Crimes committed at or near a premises.  CSK’s attorneys, and the investigators law enforcement/security experts which the firm retains,  craft the factual and legal defenses and documentary evidence to establish that businesses and residences are compliant with Florida Law. Condominiums, shopping malls, convenience stores, apartment complexes, service stations, bars, restaurants, retail establishments and  single family residences are legally required to provide “Reasonable Security Measures for the Protection of Their Invitees”.

These cases are particularly document-intensive and are fast becoming an area of significant exposure to businesses and residences. Many of these entities are often insufficiently familiar with the required legal duties, until after a significant claim or injury occurs.

CSK is also proactive in advising its clients and insurance carriers regarding measures to be undertaken, to prevent or minimize future occurrences, and to reduce the potential costly damages and defense costs in these situations. CSK’s negligent security attorneys also provide CLE Seminars to our insurance clients and their insureds, to familiarize claims personnel and property owners, and property managers with the nuances and special characteristics of the data and evidence typically utilized by each side in the prosecution and defense of negligent security claims.
