Negligent Security and Premise Liability

Atlanta Personal Injury Attorney

Owners of property that are required to provide some degree of security such as fences, lighting, security cameras and security patrols or personnel can be held liable for physical injuries suffered by customers or patrons as a result of assault, rape or other abuse on their property.  If you or someone you know has suffered injuries from a beating or assault while on such a property you should contact an Atlanta personal injury lawyer at Van Sant Law, LLC to learn what we can do to help you with your case.

Owners and managers of property have a responsibility to prevent crimes on their property and to protect their customers, renters, patrons or visitors from potential abuse or criminal actions.  Businesses such as hotels, motels, apartment complexes, restaurants and theater in high crime areas are expected to take extra precautions including video surveillance, security systems, night lighting, alarm systems and even guards to prevent crimes from occurring.  When such measures are not maintained or repaired and someone is attacked or hurt when it could have been prevented with such measures in place, they can be held liable for the medical treatments, other expenses and pain and suffering of the victim.
