Miami Sexual Assault Victim Attorney

Negligent security cases can occur as a result of a number of dangerous conditions, ranging from a landlord’s failure to equip a tenant’s premises with adequate locks and windows to a nightclub owner’s attempt to cut costs by hiring fewer bouncers and security personnel. More often than not, rapes and sexual assaults occur in public places that have become fraught with danger as a direct result of a property owner’s breach of duty to provide a reasonably safe environment for visitors—patrons and tenants alike. If you or a loved one was a victim of rape or sexual assault in Miami, it is crucial to have an experienced sexual assault victim attorney on your side.

Examples of Sexual Assault and Rape Cases

Take the all too common and unfortunate case of an individual leaving work at a later time, usually at night. Normally, she will have to make her way down a stairwell or through a parking garage or lot. As she makes her way to her car, she is raped or sexually assaulted. In many cases, after one look at the premises it becomes clear that this horrific accident could have been prevented if the owner of the premises would have provided security personnel, closed circuit television cameras (“CCTV”) and/or adequate lighting in order to deter potential assailants from committing the crime.

Insufficient lighting is not the only dangerous condition created by a property owner that could lead to the commission of a crime. The Miami and Ft. Lauderdale sexual assault victim lawyers of Brais Law Firm have handled cases in which an owner’s negligent security of a premises was attributable to numerous other unsafe conditions. Over many years the firm has also successfully represented numerous cruise passengers sexually assaulted and/or raped aboard cruise ships. These claims present unique legal issues best handled by attorney well versed in Maritime Law.
