Answer:

One of the questions I routinely get from clients is, “Is the premises owner responsible if I’m injured as the result of negligent security on their property here in Orlando?” The answer is yes. A property owner has what’s called a nondelegable duty to make sure a property is safe, which means, even if they hire someone else to perform security services, ultimately, the property owner still has that responsibility and is going to be vicariously liable. They are still going to be responsible, in other words, even if the security company they hired was negligent. That is why it’s extremely important to hire a knowledgeable attorney in this area of law.
