About these cases

Jeffrey S. Altman of The Altman Law Firm is a Miami Negligent Security Lawyer. Most negligent security cases involve a landowner or business that fails to provide any security at all or fails to provide adequate security on its premises, resulting in a criminal attack on unsuspecting victims. Proper security can include alarms, fences, lighting, security gates, security guards, and video surveillance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if the store deletes the surveillance footage of my fall?

If a business deletes surveillance footage after being notified to preserve it, they may face legal consequences for spoliation of evidence. When this occurs, a judge or jury may be instructed to presume the destroyed video contained evidence favorable to your claim. To prevent deletion, The Altman Law Firm promptly sends a formal spoliation letter to the property owner, legally demanding the preservation of all video evidence, incident reports, and maintenance logs related to your slip and fall.

Case results

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. The settlements and verdicts described are specific to the facts of each case and the law in effect at the time. Your case may involve different facts, legal issues, or insurance coverage, and results in other cases do not predict the outcome of yours. Amounts shown are gross recoveries before attorney's fees, costs, and liens. The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely on advertisements.
