Dolan Law Firm serves clients from the Miami coast and the Florida Keys to Orlando, Jacksonville, Naples and the Tampa Bay area. We are known for our knowledge and aggressive representation in personal injury claims, including many verdicts and settlements in premises liability cases. With a background as an insurance defense lawyer, attorney Dan Dolan brings valuable strategies for convincing property owners and their insurance companies to settle claims for what the victim deserves.

Negligent Security

We have recovered damages for victims of rape, robbery and assaults by demonstrating that a lack of security or a serious security breach enabled the attack.

We have had significant results in negligent hotel security and cruise ship security claims. Exploiting lack of security guards or cameras, employees with access to rooms (keys or duplicated computer keys) prey upon women and children. To prove liability, we must show that the crime was foreseeable and would have been preventable with reasonable security measures in place. We analyze crime statistics to demonstrate that it occurred in a high-crime area, or that previous attacks had been reported on that ship.

Apartment Building Attacks

The same negligent security liability applies to parking garages, shopping malls and other businesses, and even in apartment complexes where victims believe an injury accident due to negligent security is criminal matter only. When renting an apartment, people expect security measures to be in place, especially if owners know crimes have occurred before. Victims of apartment building attacks may have a liability case when owners fail to take preventative measures, such as installing security gates, cameras and guards.

Swimming Pool Accidents

Mr. Dolan has experience in some of the largest swimming pool injury and near-drowning accidents in Florida, demonstrating lack of supervision, inadequate training of lifeguards or safety hazards.

General Premises Liability

Property owners have a legal duty to address maintenance and safety issues they knew about or should have known about. Our practice has secured damages in a broad array of slips, trips, falls and other major injuries caused by:

  • Neglected spills or slick surfaces
  • Construction defects and unrepaired hazards
  • Animal attacks
  • Assaults or accidents caused by employees
