    Recent crime reports from Spotcrime.com reveal a number of violent crimes in the surrounding area. Was the hotel owner aware of prior violence on or near property?

  • If so, what additional security measures, such as guarded entry, bright lighting, surveillance cameras, and off-duty police patrols, were implemented by the hotel owner to deter crime and protect Mr. Burch?

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 hotel owner or management failed to provide adequate security, Mr. Burch’s family may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for their loss.
