Negligent Security

Have you been the victim of a criminal act on the property of a business or apartment complex where you had a reasonable expectation of safety? If your injuries resulted from the property owner or business operator’s failure to provide adequate security measures, you may be entitled to significant financial recovery.

Property owners have a duty to implement reasonable precautions to protect their customers and tenants from violent crimes. These precautions may include installing security systems, gates, proper locks, surveillance cameras, alarm systems, and even hiring security guards to ensure the safety of those on the premises.

While we all hope criminals are brought to justice, the criminal justice system can take time, and you cannot rely on the perpetrator to compensate you for your injuries, lost wages, or pain and suffering. Under Georgia law, businesses and property owners can also be held accountable for their failure to provide proper security.

If you’ve suffered due to a business’s negligence in ensuring your safety, contact Empire Legal Team. We can help you pursue a negligent security lawsuit to recover some of what you’ve lost as a result of the crime.
