Let’s get some of the scary statistics out of the way. 2017 in Florida was a violent year:
- 1,057 murders
- 7,934 rapes
- 18,583 robberies
- 57,984 aggravated assaults
These are all the ones that were reported. We know many crimes aren’t.
When you go onto someone else’s property, you have the right and expectation to be safe. Business owners and government authorities have a duty to protect anyone who has a right to be on their property.
This includes:
- Providing trained security personnel
- Providing enough security for the property
- Ensuring establishments are well-lit at night
- Ensuring surveillance cameras are working
- Ensuring all locks work to keep unauthorized personnel out
We know that when property owners fail to provide adequate security measures, criminals can prey on people. If you are the victim of a crime on someone else’s property, you may be seriously injured. If you have to seek medical treatment, your recovery could cost money. If you have to miss work and lose out on income, your financial livelihood could be in jeopardy.
But these types of crimes cause much more than just physical injuries – they are emotionally traumatic as well. If can take years to get over the nightmare of a violent crime. Many victims may suffer from PTSD long after a crime is committed. If you have to seek psychological help, this could cost even more money.
All of this can happen because a property owner failed to secure their premises. We know crime will happen, but when proper safety measures are taken, it can be significantly reduced.
