Negligent security occurs when property owners or managers fail to provide adequate protection for visitors, tenants, or employees, leading to harm or injury. This type of negligence typically involves crimes such as assault, robbery, or other violent incidents that could have been prevented if the property had proper security measures in place.

Common Examples of Negligent Security

• Inadequate Lighting: Poorly lit parking lots, stairwells, or common areas can increase the risk of criminal activity.
• Lack of Security Personnel: High-risk areas, such as apartment complexes, hotels, or businesses in busy urban areas, should have security guards or surveillance systems to deter crime.
• Unsecured Entrances: Failing to maintain secure entrances or install locks in vulnerable areas can leave tenants or visitors at risk of harm.
• Faulty Security Cameras: Security cameras that are broken or poorly maintained can prevent proper monitoring of the premises and leave areas vulnerable to crime.

Swimming pools can be a great source of fun and relaxation, but they can also pose serious risks if not properly maintained or supervised. Swimming pool accidents are especially common during the warmer months in Georgia, with both private and public pools posing potential dangers.

Common Causes of Swimming Pool Accidents

• Lack of Supervision: Drowning and other pool-related injuries often occur when there is inadequate supervision, particularly involving children.
• Inadequate Barriers: Pools must have proper fencing, gates, and barriers to prevent unsupervised access, especially by young children.
• Slippery Surfaces: Wet, slippery surfaces around the pool area can lead to slip-and-fall accidents, resulting in serious injuries like broken bones or head trauma.
• Poor Pool Maintenance: A poorly maintained pool can have hidden hazards, such as faulty drains, electrical issues, or unsanitary water conditions.
• No Warning Signs: Failure to post clear signs about pool depths, diving restrictions, or slippery surfaces can put visitors at risk.
