The Haggard Law Firm’s Michael Haggard and Adam Finkel obtained a $1 Million settlement in a wrongful death negligent security case.
On Thursday, April 29, 2021, at around 1:00 p.m., Kelvin Bonham was riding a bicycle to his friend’s house within the Gwen Cherry housing projects in Miami-Dade County.
He passed a Feick Security guard and waved, as the guard recognized him from the neighborhood. Shortly after entering the property, Kelvin was confronted, shot, and killed by an unknown person.
On behalf of Kelvin’s children, Haggard and Finkel filed a lawsuit against Feick Security and Miami-Dade County. While the security company had guards on duty at the time of the shooting, discovery revealed that Feick was expected to serve as the County’s security expert, and advise the County if changes needed to be made to the security measures at this property.
Feick did no such thing. Despite the staggering history of crime, and knowing the community needed more guards, Feick never asked and underreported crime to the County.
