Have you or a friend been injured in a criminal attack at an apartment complex? Did an assailant shoot you at an apartment complex? Were you or your friend or loved one assaulted at an apartment complex in Greenville SC? Proper apartment security is essential in keeping tenants safe.
As a lawyer, I aim to reduce apartment complex crime by holding negligent apartment complex owners and management companies accountable for their failure to provide appropriate security programs.
As a lawyer representing people injured at an apartment complex, I am here for injured apartment residents.
A large apartment complex can become a magnet for crime if the owner or management company fails to take apartment complex tenant security seriously.
Did you know that when an apartment complex undertakes the duty of providing security at the apartment complex, it must do so in a reasonable fashion? If the apartment complex is negligent in providing security and a safe place to live, then the apartment complex may be held liable.
Apartment security is a win-win for apartment tenants and for apartment complex owners or management companies. Residents want safe and secure homes and are willing to pay more in rent to have safe and secure premises.
Safety Always
Safety and security always come first. So, a safe apartment complex will generate more revenue for apartment management and apartment owners. Tenants are happy to pay for security and safety at their apartment complex.
As South Carolina becomes a more popular place to live and with many people moving to South Carolina cities like Greenville, larger apartment complexes are being built, and tenants are moving in.
If safety and security are not prioritized by apartment management or owners, apartment complexes can become magnets for crime. Forcing local police departments to devote more time and resources to investigating crimes occurring at an apartment complex.
Experience in Inadequate Apartment Security Clients
I represent tenants who have been the victims of attacks, violent crimes, shootings and assaults that occur on the premises of an apartment complex. I am able to represent clients in apartment security cases throughout the state of South Carolina.
Just recently in June of 2023, I represented a client in an apartment shooting case resulting in a $725,000.00 settlement of my client’s case. Of course, each case is different, and the result in one case is not at all a guarantee of obtaining the same or similar result in another case. So each case needs to be treated individually and investigated on its own to discover the unique facts and circumstances of each case.
However, I do have direct experience in apartment complex security cases and am ready to put that experience to work for you in the investigation of your potential case or claim.
