Criminal Assault Attorneys Serving Alpharetta, Atlanta, and All of Georgia

Unfortunately, public property tends to attract criminal behavior. Shopping malls, hotels, apartment complexes, theme parks, office buildings, and college campuses are all common sites of criminal assault.

Occasionally, these crimes are entirely unpreventable. But more often, they happen because the property owner failed to take reasonable precautions to ensure safety.

Criminal assaults and negligent security go hand in hand. When premises are dark, dangerous, or insecure, situations can escalate quickly. Criminals may feel that they have greater leeway to commit an assault or crime.

While the perpetrators themselves are usually caught, prosecuted, and sent to jail, the property owners aren’t always held accountable for their role in creating the conditions that encouraged the crime. That’s unfair not only to the victim but also to future guests of that same property who may also become victims if conditions don’t change.

At Van Sant Law, we’re serious about litigating criminal assaults and negligent security in Georgia. It’s wrong for property owners to subject innocent people to dangerous circumstances and then wash their hands of the financial responsibility later. We won’t let that happen.
