$140,000 settlement – elderly woman robbed in condo parking lot

Apartment complexes and condominiums attract crime.  The apartments must maintain adequate security or residents and guests will be vulnerable to violent crime.

John Elliott Leighton represented an elderly Broward County woman who was robbed in her parking lot as she walked from her car into her condominium.  She was knocked down and sustained a knee injury.  Mr. Leighton obtained a confidential settlement of $140,000 after demonstrating that security at the premises was deficient.

By bringing negligent security cases on behalf of crime victims, Leighton law helps make Florida safer by requiring them to maintain proper and safe environments.
