Negligent Security
When property owners fail to protect you, we hold them accountable.
You have the right to feel safe where you live, work, and shop. Property and business owners have a duty to keep their premises secure. When they ignore that duty and people get hurt, we step in. At Cheeley Law Group, we fight for victims of crime whose injuries could have been prevented with proper security measures.
What is Negligent Security?
Negligent security is a form of premises liability. It allows victims of crimes to take action against property owners who failed to provide a safe environment. Georgia law recognizes that inadequate or faulty security can create opportunities for preventable violence. If a property owner could have reduced the risk with reasonable safety measures and failed to do so, they can be held responsible for the harm that followed.
COMMON SECURITY FAILURES WE HANDLE
Inadequate Training
Employers who fail to properly vet or train security staff put everyone at risk. Hiring unqualified or even dangerous personnel can lead to serious harm.
Poor Lighting
Dimly lit parking lots, stairwells, or walkways create opportunities for attackers to ambush unsuspecting victims.
Broken Locks and Security Systems
When locks, cameras, or alarms are not maintained, property owners create openings for crime that could have been prevented.
