If you were hurt in an assault, robbery, or shooting on property that lacked reasonable security, Georgia law may allow a claim against the property owner or manager. A negligent security claim looks at what the property did, or failed to do, to protect people from crime. Slam Dunk Attorney is a personal injury firm based in Duluth, Georgia. This page explains how these claims work, what they can cover, and what happens after you reach out. Each case turns on its own facts, so treat this as a starting point.<\/p>\n

What Negligent Security Means in Georgia<\/h2>\n

A negligent security claim is a claim that a property owner or occupier failed to keep people reasonably safe from crime. Georgia’s statute describes it as a claim for bodily injury or wrongful death that arises from a failure to keep the premises safe from the wrongful conduct of third persons (Georgia negligent security statute<\/a>). The attacker is the third person. The claim targets the property’s role.<\/p>\n

For an invitee, such as a customer, guest, or tenant’s visitor, the injured person must prove several things. The attacker’s conduct must have been reasonably foreseeable. The owner must have failed to use ordinary care to fix or reduce a specific, known physical condition of the property. That failure must have been a proximate cause of the injury (Georgia negligent security statute<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The statute also sets limits. It says an owner is not liable to a trespasser, or for an injury on premises used as a single-family residence. Those limits matter when you look at your own facts.<\/p>\n

Claims come from many people. Apartment residents, hotel guests, shoppers, restaurant and bar patrons, and people in parking lots and parking decks can all be affected. Families of people killed in these incidents may also bring wrongful death claims.<\/p>\n\n

What a Negligent Security Claim Can Cover<\/h2>\n

A claim can seek money for the losses an injury causes. Georgia separates general damages from special damages. General damages are presumed to flow from a wrongful act and can be recovered without proof of an exact amount. Special damages are losses that actually flow from the act, and they must be proved (Georgia damages statute<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Common losses in these cases include:<\/p>\n
