Negligent Security Attorneys - Atlanta, Fulton County, Clayton County

Negligent security cases involve a particular type of premises liability law which holds property or landowners responsible for injuries to others if they fail to employ adequate security measures in order to prevent violent crimes. This specialized area of law can apply to landlords, property management companies, hotel or motel owners, and other businesses.  The key is that the property must be in a location, or operate a type of business, that can reasonably be expected to attract crime. Each situation or circumstance is different but may be as simple as the replacement of broken locks or as extreme as hiring a private security detail.  In some instances even the failure to properly light an area may result in the responsible party being liable for a victim’s injuries.

If you've been attacked on someone else's poorly-lit property, contact the negligent security lawyers of Kaine Law, LLC, serving Atlanta, Fulton County, Clayton County, and other areas throughout the Southeast. Our legal team will discuss the circumstances of your claim and advise you whether to move forward with a lawsuit against a negligent landowner.

The Responsibilities of a Landowner

Property owners are required to keep their land and premises safe.  As a visitor or patron, one has legal right to be kept reasonably safe.  This expectation requires that the landowner have proper security in place to prevent you from being attacked, beaten, injured, raped, or even killed.  Common "high risk" areas include:

• Bars and nightclubs
• Parking lots
• Parking garages
• Hotels and motels
• Airports
• Apartment complexes
• Bus, train, or subway stations

When landowners fail to provide adequate security and someone is injured, the victim may have a claim against the landowner and possibly others.  Many of these events are preventable.  As a result of the landowner’s failure to maintain a safe environment, now the victim and their families are left to suffer. 

Holding Negligent Landowners Liable

Our Atlanta negligent security lawyers work to hold the landowner responsible and we expect them to pay for the damages done.  As part of this expectation, we fight to help victims recover compensation for:

• Medical expenses
• Lost wages
• Emotional distress
• Pain and suffering
• Future medical care
• Continuous and future therapy
• Punitive damages

In order to successfully establish a claim in Fulton County or Clayton County courts, our negligent security attorneys must prove that the landowner had reason to believe that these types of acts or events may occur on their property and that the owner did not warn visitors.  Next, our lawyers must prove that the landowner failed to take the reasonable steps to prevent such acts or events from occurring on their property.
