Defending Negligent Security Cases In Florida

Crime happens, and statistics show that this trend is on the rise along with the litigation associated with such crimes. For example, based on banking surveys it is estimated that ATM crimes occur at a rate of one per 3.5 million transactions. Although this is seemingly not a high volume of crime, it is likely that this estimate is somewhat understated as not all incidents are reported and the amount of ATM machines (and transactions) is on the rise.¹ Additionally, a significant percentage of crimes are armed robberies, which result in physical harm to the victim.

Businesses must take a proactive approach, both in providing adequate security and in educating their customers. The result should be increased safety and reduced litigation.
