A Georgia Inadequate Security Attorney Can Help
Property and business owners have a duty to protect you against preventable criminal attacks. When they don't, the law allows you to hold the property owner accountable for your injuries.
Inadequate security cases commonly involve physical attacks, assaults, rape, robberies, sexual assault, shootings, and fatal crimes.
Even a relatively minor lapse in security, such as a few burned-out lights in a parking lot, can create the perfect opportunity for a criminal to attack.
The locations where inadequate security cases frequently happen include an apartment complex, hotel, motel, office park, parking garage, parking lot, and shopping center.

Do I Have a Good Inadequate Security Case?
The first thing we do is determine if you have a good inadequate security case.
Good inadequate security cases generally involve serious injury and evidence of a prior pattern of crime on or around the business property.
Most inadequate security injuries are serious because the victim is physically attacked. However, the severity of the injury can vary widely. This depends upon whether the victim is assaulted, shot, stabbed, raped, or killed.
Rape and sexual assault are the most common crimes leading to an inadequate security lawsuit. Parking lots, apartment complexes, and hotel rooms are the locations where crimes involving inadequate security most commonly take place.
The average settlement for claims involving violent crime exceeds $600,000. The average jury verdict is $1.3 million.
Inadequate security injuries are often the result of one or more of the five following conditions:
- Poor lighting
- Lack of security cameras
- Lack of roaming security
- Lack of a perimeter fence around the property
- Failure to warn patrons and tenants of recurring criminal activity
Even a relatively minor lapse in security, such as a few burned-out lights in a parking lot, can create the perfect opportunity for a criminal to attack.
Although the physical injuries may heal in time, the emotional trauma will haunt you for years to come.
It is important to speak with an experienced Georgia inadequate security lawyer soon after your injury occurs. Our legal team is ready to help.

Choosing the Right Georgia Inadequate Security Lawyers Can Make All the Difference
Inadequate security cases are challenging.
The criminal's identity is often unknown. Many times the criminal is never caught.
Insurance companies will try to shift the blame from the property owner to the criminal. Because most criminals have no money, this can prevent your recovery. If the insurance company is not able to shift the blame to the criminal, the insurance company may even try to unfairly blame you.
We won't let them.
Our experienced Georgia inadequate security attorneys ensure your rights are protected each step of the way.
We start by securing and reviewing all available investigative reports from the criminal case.
We obtain crime grids for the entire property where the crime took place to identify and track neighborhood crime. We analyze crime statistics to determine if you were hurt in a high-crime area.
Simply put, we uncover all facts that prove the property owner could have prevented the crime.
Successful inadequate security cases also require expert testimony. We hire the best.
We work with crime scene reconstruction experts who tell us how and why the crime occurred.
We retain security experts certified by the American Society for Industrial Security, the main professional organization for private security consultants. Our security experts identify all reasonable steps the property owner should have taken to prevent your attack.
We know that being a crime victim can change your life forever. Our team of Georgia inadequate security lawyers is ready to make a difference by helping you take back your life.
