A Type of Premises Liability
When a property owner fails to provide reasonable security and a foreseeable crime injures a visitor, Georgia law may hold the owner responsible.
Foreseeability Is Key
Prior crimes in the area, inadequate lighting, broken locks, or absent security guards can establish that the owner should have anticipated the danger.
Common Settings
Apartment complexes, parking decks, hotels, and bars are frequent settings for negligent security claims.
Building the Case
Police reports, prior incident history, and security assessments help show what the owner knew and failed to address.
