Business owners do not have a duty to protect visitors from all harm brought on by third parties. However, they are responsible for protecting visitors from “foreseeable” attacks. Additionally, these individuals must follow the state security laws for businesses.
Florida Statutes § 812.173  states that every convenience business must have specific security measures in place. Companies must have all of the following safety features and policies: a security camera system capable of recording video and images; a safe to restrict access to cash; a silent alarm system connecting to a law enforcement agency or security firm; a well-lit parking lot; a notice visible to all visitors to the place of business stating that the cash register contains $50 or less at all times; a strict cash management policy that limits the amount of cash the business has on hand after 11 p.m.
