Rape and Sexual Assault

Rape and sexual assault victims have legal rights

Our professional staff understands how traumatic rape and sexual assault can be for victims. It takes courage to pursue a legal charge against an assailant. We urge victims to stand up to hold not only the assailant accountable, but those who failed to provide the adequate security to prevent the assault from occurring.

Georgia premises liability law requires property owners and managers to provide safe premises for patrons and guests. Negligent security might involve improperly functioning room locks, which allows an intruder to gain access to a hotel room. Negligent security also might involve failure to prevent someone from parking in an unmonitored location where a sexual assault might occur.

Inadequate security measures make take the form of:

• Inadequate or insufficient security staff relative to property use
• Failure to adequately screen guests and visitors
• Inadequate lighting in stairwells and parking lots
• Malfunctioning door locks
• No operable security cameras or phones

We fight for the rights of sexual assault victims every day.
