Crimes are very unpredictable to tenants, especially when it comes to where they occur and with what frequency. When you live in an apartment complex or condo, you can’t control who comes onto the property and who doesn’t. Instead, you must rely on your landlord or property manager to ensure that the proper security measures are implemented and kept up to date.
In many cases, Georgia thieves and criminals will seek out areas where there is less of a chance of getting caught. They look for things like broken security cameras, damaged guard gates, and dim street lights to help them choose where and when they may commit a crime. Unfortunately, many apartment complexes do not have suitable security which puts their residents at risk.
Ashenden & Associates represents Georgia victims in their claims of inadequate security. If you were the victim of a crime at or near your apartment, and you believe that the crime could have been prevented if adequate security measures were implemented, our Sandy Springs negligent security lawyers are available to you for a free consultation. Read on to learn more about the types of inadequate security claims that may be relevant to you.

If you or a loved one have been a victim of either a crime such as burglary, theft, vandalism, robbery, assault, battery, or rape, these crimes may have been prevented if the proper security measures had been in place at the time of the crime.
