How Can an Atlanta Premises Liability Attorney Help?
Property owners often claim that they already did enough to protect you. They may argue that your injuries were impossible to prevent or foresee. But an experienced attorney at Van Sant Law can work with experts to effectively challenge that defense. Even a slight oversight in any of the following security precautions can create dangerous conditions conducive to crime:
- Poor lighting
- Security cameras (too few, poorly placed, or malfunctioning)
- Lack of fencing
- Broken fencing (or a defective electronic perimeter system)
- Malfunctioning security gates
- Lack of security guards/personnel
- Failure to warn residents about known dangers
- Failure to perform background checks on employees or vendors
- Failure to take action in response to previous injuries or crimes
- Inadequate security systems
- Providing door handles, door locks, door frames, key systems, or call boxes that lend themselves to criminal exploitation
- Failure to respond to complaints about excessive crowds, intoxicated guests, or suspicious activity in the area
