Atlanta, Georgia, is a melting pot and major business center for the southern states. Unfortunately, in populous metro areas such as Atlanta and its suburbs, shootings and gun crimes happen and can hurt or kill the ones we love most.

Negligent Security
When a victim has been stabbed or shot, the assailant is often sent to jail and pursued in a criminal case. What many people do not know is that the property or business where the shooting took place can also be held liable through a civil case.
In cases where victims were shot due to negligent security from a business owner or property manager, Victims and their families should seek the representation of a personal injury attorney to prove that the business or property should have been aware of any criminal action in the area and could have enacted measures to prevent it.
