Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about negligent security cases in Cocoa Beach

What do negligent security lawyers do?

Negligent security lawyers advocate for victims who have been harmed due to inadequate security measures on someone else's property. We investigate security protocols, analyze crime statistics in the area, and document security failures that contributed to our clients' injuries. Our team at Douglas R. Beam, P.A. works to prove that property owners knew or should have known about security risks but failed to take reasonable precautions.



We handle everything from gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses to negotiating with insurance companies and representing clients in court. Our goal is to secure compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages while holding negligent property owners accountable.

What types of damages can I get compensation for after a negligent security incident?

Victims of negligent security incidents may be eligible for various types of compensation, including:



  • Medical expenses (current and future)
  • Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress and trauma
  • Property damage or theft
  • Cost of necessary security or protective measures


Each case is unique, and our experienced team will work to identify all potential sources of compensation for your specific situation.

How is liability determined in a negligent security case?

Liability in negligent security cases is determined by establishing several key elements. First, we must prove that the property owner had a duty to provide reasonable security measures. This includes showing that the crime or incident was foreseeable based on factors like previous criminal activity in the area or the nature of the business.



We then demonstrate how the property owner failed to meet this duty by documenting inadequate security measures such as broken locks, poor lighting, or insufficient security personnel. Finally, we must prove that this negligence directly contributed to your injuries or losses.

What should I do after a negligent security incident?

If you've been victimized due to negligent security, take these important steps:



  • Report the incident to law enforcement immediately
  • Seek medical attention for any injuries
  • Document the scene with photos if possible
  • Report the incident to property management
  • Gather contact information from any witnesses
  • Keep all medical records and receipts
  • Contact an experienced negligent security lawyer


The sooner you contact our team, the better we can preserve evidence and protect your rights.
