What does foreseeability mean in a Florida negligent security claim?

In a Florida negligent security claim, foreseeability means a property owner knew or reasonably should have known that criminal conduct was likely to occur on the premises. Under Florida premises liability law, foreseeability is often established by demonstrating a history of prior similar crimes on or near the property, or by showing that the location had known security vulnerabilities. Property owners owe lawful visitors a legal duty to implement reasonable security measures, such as functional access controls, surveillance cameras, and adequate lighting. When proprietors ignore known danger and an attack occurs, Jeffrey S. Altman and The Altman Law Firm help victims hold negligent property owners accountable for preventable harm.
