Victim of Negligent Security in Atlanta, GA?

When security at a venue, residence, or place of business fails to protect you due to negligence, you could be the victim of violence and left with injuries. It’s become far too common for violent acts to happen in public places, which calls for attentive security personnel to respond appropriately to handle these situations. While at work, shopping, attending classes, and whenever you leave home, your safety should be of the utmost concern for business owners and property managers.

The security they have in place has a responsibility to protect the patrons and visitors, but when that personnel forgoes their duty, they should be held liable for the violent acts they ignore or mishandle.

If the owners fail to carry this out, they may be subject to negligent security claims.

Proving negligence depends on various factors, such as if a business could foresee a crime and whether they could have prevented it by taking action.
