Pursuing a Negligent Security Claim in Georgia After Getting Shot or Assaulted at an Apartment Complex

When a person gets shot at an apartment complex, they’re thrust into a whirlwind of negativity and pain. To add to the misery, they get stuck with tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills and emergency medical treatment. Additionally, folks often have to miss work because of gunshot wounds while they heal and recover.

However, a gunshot victim or the gunshot victim’s family may have rights to pursue compensation under Georgia law. Namely, if a landlord or owner negligently failed to implement proper security measures in a location where there’s violent crime, the victim may be able to pursue a negligent security claim.
