Atlanta Negligent Security Lawyer 

Being the victim of a violent crime is traumatic enough. Learning that it could have been prevented — that the apartment complex knew about prior break-ins and never fixed the gate, that the parking deck's lights had been out for months, that the cameras were props — adds a different kind of injury. Under Georgia premises liability law, property owners can be held responsible when they fail to protect visitors and residents from foreseeable criminal acts. 

When Is a Property Owner Liable for a Crime? 

The legal question in a negligent security case is whether the property owner knew or should have known that crime was reasonably foreseeable, and failed to take ordinary precautions. Evidence we look for includes: - Prior violent crimes - Ignored complaints from residents, guests, and employees Apartment complexes, hotels, gas stations, nightclubs, and shopping centers. 

What Compensation Can Cover 

Survivors of violent crime often carry both physical and psychological injuries. A negligent security claim can recover the costs of medical care and counseling, lost income, relocation expenses when staying isn't safe, and compensation for the fear and trauma that follow an attack.
