Negligent Security Attorney | Georgia & Florida
When a property owner's failure to provide adequate security leads to your injury, they can be held legally responsible.
When a property owner knows — or should know — that there is a risk of criminal activity on or near their premises, they have a legal duty to provide adequate security. If they fail to do so, and you are harmed as a result, they may be held liable under negligent security law.
Nwahiri Law represents victims of negligent security in Georgia and Florida. If you were assaulted, robbed, or otherwise harmed at a hotel, apartment complex, parking lot, shopping center, nightclub, or other commercial property, you may have a claim.
