Georgia Laws Affecting Your Negligent Security Case
Statute of Limitations
2 years to file a personal injury lawsuit in Georgia (OCGA § 9-3-33). Delays can make evidence harder to gather, so it’s important to act quickly.
Georgia Premises Liability Law
Property owners must take reasonable steps to protect visitors from foreseeable harm. You may have a claim if:
- The property had inadequate security
- The owner knew or should have known about prior crime
- The property failed to fix or address safety risks
- These failures contributed to your injury
Foreseeability in Negligent Security Cases
A key element is whether the crime was foreseeable. Examples include:
- Repeated incidents at the same apartment complex
- Crime patterns in parking lots or gas stations
- Security reports showing ongoing issues
- Broken locks, gates, or lights ignored by management
If harm was foreseeable and no action was taken, the property owner may be liable.
Modified Comparative Fault
You may recover damages if you are less than 50% at fault.
Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
