When a property owner fails to provide adequate security, it can lead to serious injuries—or even loss of life. In the attached video, Brett Steinberg explains the key types of evidence needed to prove a Florida negligent security case and how they impact a victim’s ability to seek justice.
Gathering Critical Evidence
Negligent security cases hinge on proving that a property owner knew or should have known about potential dangers but failed to take proper precautions. To establish liability, the following types of evidence are essential:
- Crime Reports & Data – Attorneys obtain grid reports from law enforcement agencies, which track criminal activity in specific areas over months or years. If an area has a history of violent crime, property owners are expected to take reasonable security measures.
- Surveillance Footage – Video recordings from security cameras (or the lack thereof) can demonstrate whether adequate protections were in place or if security failures contributed to the incident.
- Witness Testimony – Eyewitness accounts from residents, employees, or patrons can confirm a pattern of crime or unsafe conditions. Statements from people familiar with the area can be powerful evidence.
- Property Security Policies – If a business, homeowners association, or apartment complex had previous security concerns but chose to ignore them—such as failing to hire security guards—this can establish negligence.
