Negligent Security

Lawyers Focusing on Injuries Caused By Inadequate Security

Negligent security can take many forms. If a property owner knows about bad or broken lighting, broken locks, damaged fencing, and untrained security staff and does nothing, he or she may be liable for injuries arising from these conditions. At the Atlanta law firm of Goldstein & Hayes, PC, our lawyers have obtained compensation and damages for people injured because of negligent security.

Negligent security cases require extensive investigation

When we accept a negligent security case, we weigh the actual security measures against those promised in manuals, leases, and building rules. We review security reports, investigate the background of any security guards and maintenance staff, and inspect key retention documents. We have skilled and experienced investigators who develop the facts of a negligent security case.

If you believe you were injured because of negligent security, contact a lawyer with experience in matters of negligence and liability. At Goldstein & Hayes, PC, we have been handling such cases for more than 25 years, and have developed a strategy for the obtaining justice for our injured clients.

Our clients include rape victims, passersby shot by drug dealers in a dark parking lot, and tenants mugged in the corridors of their apartment building. We have filed lawsuits against property owners who failed to repair broken windows or replace outside doors that did not close. We have litigated against property owners who failed to develop a method of tracking keys, which allowed easy entry by criminals to the building and individual apartments. We have taken on large corporations with many properties in cases where a trained security guard was part of the lease agreement but not provided.

At Goldstein & Hayes, PC, we use the reports of our investigators, medical specialists, and security experts to develop a strong case for compensation for our clients after an assault or rape. If you have suffered injuries that resulted from inadequate security, contact an attorney dedicated to creating a strong case for you. We serve the Atlanta - Decatur area, the state of Georgia, and the southeastern United States, offering free initial consultations, contingency fees in most cases, and home and hospital visits if you are unable to come to our office.
