What is Negligent Security?

If a business or a landlord has reason to foresee a danger of criminal assaults upon customers, tenants or others on the property, the business or landlord may have a duty to take reasonable measures to deter, prevent or guard against such criminal assaults. Many "negligent security" claims involve sexual assaults or shootings at apartment complexes, hotels, motels and the like. The essential element for a case of premises liability - negligent security - remains foreseeability of criminal acts. Most cases, but not all, require prior criminal incidents to put a defendant on notice of the danger and to raise a duty to take precautions. Georgia law says, "If the proprietor has reason to anticipate a criminal act, he or she then has a duty to exercise ordinary care to guard against injury from dangerous characters." O.C.G.A. § 51-3-1. Your Atlanta, Georgia Negligent Security Attorney can help you fully understand your rights.

A case involving a crime victim is unique in that the "injuries" are often more psychological than physical in nature. Victims of these types of crimes should seek psychological evaluation and treatment. Dealing with psychologically impacted clients requires patience and diligence.
