Premises Liability Lawyers Jacksonville
Our premises liability lawyers and negligent security attorneys can help if you’ve been injured or attacked on someone else’s property. Property owners have a responsibility to make their premises safe and secure for others. If you become the victim of a crime or suffer an injury while visiting another’s property, whether it is your place of work, a home, store, warehouse, showroom, apartment building, mall, resort, school, abandoned building, or vacant lot, you should contact our premises liability lawyers for a free case evaluation.
Negligent Security
Property owners are not only required to maintain their premises to protect visitors from accidental injuries, but to also protect visitors from criminal activity on their property. Depending on the specific case, these expectations might include:
- Securely locked buildings and lobbies
- Sufficient lighting
- Security personnel on staff
- Security equipment, such as automatically locking doors in working order
- Security cameras
- Security gates and fencing
If you are a victim of a crime, do not assume you were just at the wrong place at the wrong time. If reasonable steps were not taken to protect you from a foreseeable criminal assault, beating, mugging, rape or other criminal attack, you may be entitled to recover damages. Our experienced negligent security attorneys are ready to help you with your case if you’ve been harmed due to negligent security on someone else’s property.

Our attorneys will investigate the situation, examine the evidence, determine the applicable laws and discuss your legal rights with you, to help you get the financial compensation you deserve.
The premises liability lawyers at Harrell & Harrell will work for you every step of the way, to help you hold the responsible property owner liable under the law. We understand that property responsibility accidents can be devastating in terms of medical care, pain, mental anguish and depression, lost wages, personal property repair, and the frustration of dealing with unresponsive property owners. These people must be held liable for your suffering, cost and inconvenience, and we will work with you to help you get the money, and justice, you deserve.
We have represented many people injured by a property owner’s negligence, including such areas as:
- Inadequate or negligent security
- Improper storage procedures
- Holes or curling of flooring or stairways
- Unprotected materials or sharp objects
- Presence of poisonous substances or materials
- Inadequate or inoperable alarm systems
- Locked or unavailable escape options
- Deceptive appearance
Premises liability also includes responsibility of protecting you from “attractive nuisances” that offer hazardous situations. The most obvious of these might be the unguarded swimming pool that is not properly secured, abandoned buildings that are left open, unattended construction equipment and similar situations or items that would attract curious children and careless others.
There are many situations where premises liability is a consideration. If you or a loved one has been injured on someone else’s property for any reason, let the premises liability lawyers at Harrell & Harrell help you evaluate your legal options.
As with any accidental injury, be sure you understand all the possibilities. Don’t discuss any settlement with an insurance company – let an experienced premises liability lawyer at Harrell & Harrell handle that responsibility. We fight big insurance companies every day, since their goal is to pay out as little as possible while our goal is to help you get all you deserve. Don’t forget that the serious effects of an accident often don’t show up until well after the accident itself, and these effects include all the costs and emotional impact in the following months and years.
The experienced premises liability lawyers at Harrell & Harrell will help you pick up the pieces and work to be sure every consideration is made for your future needs.
