Negligent Security Lawyer in Atlanta & Marietta, GA

Violent crime is unacceptable, and companies that invite people to their property without protecting against crime that injures their guests must be held accountable.

A reality of living in a large city is that there is some risk of crime, but some places are definitely worse than others. And frequently the owner of an apartment complex, gas station, mall, or other retail or commercial property will have a very acute knowledge of violent crime like carjackings, shootings, or gang activity on their property but will not do what they should do to protect their customers and visitors (sometimes called invitees or licensees under Georgia law). Georgia law allows companies that fail to keep their property safe to be held liable, even if the injury or death is the result of a crime committed by a third party.
