Could this unconscionable sexual assault have been prevented and is justice available to the survivor?

Security measures are in question after a man was able to break into a woman’s Jonesboro apartment home Friday morning, June 8, 2018, and sexually assault her.

According to The AJC, the assailant “entered through a window in her unit at Tara Bridge Apartments…and sexually assaulted her around 2 a.m.” WSB-TV 2 reports, the courageous survivor “put up a ferocious fight screaming, punching her attacker and trying to run away.” A neighbor finally “heard her screams and called 911, but the accused rapist got away.”

Was negligent security a factor in this Jonesboro apartment sexual assault and could this violent home invasion have been prevented?  Read Our Legal Take below to find out if the survivor may have legal avenues for justice and claims for substantial compensation in Georgia.

Our Legal Take

Apartment residents and guests have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises. The Murray Law Firm questions the level of security provided at the subject property and whether this sexual assault may have been prevented.

  • How did the attacker gain entry to the property? What security measures, such as gated entry, fencing, bright lighting, surveillance cameras, and security patrols, were in place to deter crime and protect residents at the time of the sexual assault and home invasion?

By law, property owners in Georgia are required to protect all those legally on the premises from any foreseeable harm.  Should the facts of this matter reveal that the apartment complex owner or management failed to provide adequate security, the survivor of this sexual assault may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for her injuries and suffering.

The Murray Law Firm has recovered millions of dollars for victims of unsafe properties in Georgia, and recently obtained a $29.25 million dollar verdict in Georgia.

Could the senseless shooting of this young Columbus man have been prevented?

Security measures are in question after a shooting at the Elizabeth Canty Apartments left 19-year-old Tobias Ross critically injured Tuesday, June 6, 2018, per News 3 reports.

Concerned residents told WTVM, “shootings happen all too often in the complex.” There was apparently additional recent shootings at the complex, according to the report. The WTVM investigation reveals a 12-year-old boy was shot and injured in March 2018 and a 25-year-old man was shot in July 2017.

Could this senseless Atlanta apartment shooting have been prevented, and are justice and compensation available to the young victims?

Three Atlanta teens, ages 19, 15 and 14, were hospitalized after gunfire reportedly erupted outside an Atlanta apartment complex Tuesday morning, June 12, 2018.

According to The AJC, “Atlanta police were called to the Providence at Cascade Apartments around 12:30 a.m. They found a 19-year-old man shot in the hip and the 14-year-old shot in the lower back.” A third victim, 15, was transported to the hospital by family with multiple gunshot wounds. Their current conditions have not been released.

A resident apparently told WSB-TV 2, “she was outside on her front steps when she saw a car pull in, then heard 20 or more gunshots. She said they started near a gazebo in the complex where the teenagers were hanging out, then spilled out into the parking lot.”
