Negligent Security in Pompano Beach, Florida
When a person gets injured due to someone else’s malicious or negligent behavior, the party who caused the injury is liable for damages. However, they may not be the only person responsible. If the injury occurred at a venue or in a situation in which a reasonable person could determine that security was necessary to keep patrons safe, the venue might be liable if they failed to provide an adequate level of security.
A Pompano Beach negligent security lawyer will investigate your injury, determine if lack of security played a part, and get to work gathering evidence to build a compelling claim on your behalf. A major potential benefit of pursuing the venue for damages in addition to the party who injured you is that if it is a big or even a medium-sized company, it likely has a greater capacity to pay you a substantial settlement.
Here are several scenarios in which negligent security might play a role in an injury:
Attacks at Public Businesses
If you were attacked or robbed while leaving a grocery store, mall, or retailer, we may be able to pursue the business for compensation, arguing that they failed to provide adequate security. By showing that the area had a history of violence or criminal activity, we can make a reasonable case that security was necessary to keep patrons safe.
Attacks at Apartment or Condominium Complexes
While property managers are often quick to tell residents that features such as gates and security guards are for privacy and convenience, and not for safety, the fact is that apartment and condominium complexes have a duty of care to take reasonable steps to keep residents safe. If you suffered injuries at your residence by being attacked, a lawyer may be able to take on the property management company for failure to provide adequate security.
Attacks at Crowded Venues
There is a reason you often see so much security personnel at concerts, sporting events, rallies, and parades. If the venue fails to provide this security, it can be held liable for injuries suffered by patrons. If you sustained injuries by being attacked at a crowded venue and you feel the security was inadequate, a Pompano Beach negligent security lawyer can help you pursue a monetary award.

Understanding Economic and Noneconomic Damages
At Ben Crump Law, PLLC, we will help you fight for the fair monetary award you deserve for your injuries. In Florida, there is no cap on how much you can collect in both economic and noneconomic damages, so our team fights for the largest possible dollar amount in both categories.
Economic damages are losses related to your injury that involve actual monetary depletion. In other words, you can quantify these losses in specific dollar terms. For example:
- Current and future medical bills.
- Lost income from work.
- Reduced future earning capacity.
- Prescription drug costs.
- Property damage.
Noneconomic damages cannot be quantified in dollar terms, nor do they involve actual monetary loss. These losses are therefore more difficult to assign a specific value to:
- Pain and suffering and inconvenience.
- Emotional distress.
- Loss of enjoyment of life.
- Loss of consortium.
The Ben Crump Law, PLLC team has several valuation methods to help you collect the highest possible award for your noneconomic damages. Our firm fights for the max, and you do not pay us a fee until we win your case. For a free, no-obligation case evaluation, call us today at (844) 730-5111.

The Statute of Limitations
Florida has a four-year statute of limitations on most personal injury lawsuits, but this timeline may vary based on several factors that might be unique to your case. That is why it is critically important to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible after getting injured.
You do not want to let the statute expire, as it can cause you to forfeit your right to compensation. If necessary, Ben Crump Law, PLLC can take quick legal action on your behalf to forestall a looming statute expiration.
