Brain Injury From Assault on Unsafe Property: Holding the Owner Accountable<\/h2>\n

You were attacked in a parking garage. Or someone broke through a gate that never locked. Or you were shot near an ATM in a lot left dark for months.<\/p>\n

Now doctors use words like traumatic brain injury<\/em>. Your family is trying to figure out how to pay for care.<\/p>\n

Here’s what many people don’t know: the person who hurt you may not be the only one to blame. If the property owner ignored obvious danger and skipped basic security, Florida law may hold them responsible too. This is called a negligent security claim<\/strong>, and it’s separate from any criminal case.<\/p>\n

This page explains your rights after a brain injury from an assault on an unsafe property. We cover what negligent security means, how to prove it, and what compensation may be available.<\/p>\n

Your situation \u2014 and the legal name for it<\/h2>\n

You rented an apartment advertised as a “secure, gated community.” The gate has been broken for six months. Management received complaints. Two cars were broken into last spring. One night, someone follows a resident through the open gate and attacks them.<\/p>\n

That is the heart of a negligent security claim. A property owner fails to provide reasonable security. That failure allows an attack that could have been expected.<\/p>\n

This is a type of premises liability lawsuit<\/a>. It means suing over an unsafe property. It is completely separate from the criminal case<\/strong> against the attacker.<\/p>\n

Your civil claim can move forward even if the attacker is never caught, charged, or convicted. It can move forward even if a criminal jury finds them not guilty. Civil cases use a lower standard of proof.<\/p>\n
