Apartment Security and Criminal Activity Lawsuits
Pursuing Compensation for Victims of Crime at Apartment ComplexesÂ
Owners and management companies are responsible for keeping their premises reasonably safe for their tenants and visitors. They have a duty to provide such reasonable security measures as are necessary to protect these individuals from foreseeable violent crime on their premises.
If they fail to do so, and someone is seriously injured or killed as a result, the crime victim and their families may have a case and be entitled to compensation. While crime victims rarely are able to collect court ordered restitution from their attacker, compensation is often available through other means.
Crime Victims' Compensation May be Obtained For:
- Murder
- Robbery
- Assault
- Battery
- Domestic Violence
- Kidnapping
- Rape
- Sexual Assault
- Sexual Molestation
- Drunk Driving
- DUI
- Acts of Terrorism

Apartment Security – Sexual Assaults & Rapes
Coker Law has extensive experience in handling premises liability lawsuits involving sexual attacks that resulted from negligent security in apartment complexes or other properties.
Our attorneys are well aware of the personal nature of these cases. We are sensitive to the nature of these cases and do not want to inflict any further emotional stress. We will listen to you or your family member and take no action beyond that with which you are comfortable. Our goal is to do anything we can to help you or your family member move forward.
No amount of money can ever erase the scars of trauma inflicted by a sexual assault or rape. However, the lasting effects of these types of crimes often translate into an urgent need to rebuild a life. Medical bills, including those for psychological counseling, and loss of income due to emotional instability are just a few examples of why a monetary award is needed to help a person move forward.
The attorneys at Coker Law have developed a deep and broad understanding of sexual assault civil cases, having successfully represented many victims through the years. Most of our sexual assault cases are brought on behalf of victims who are assaulted on apartment properties as the result of the property owner's failure to provide adequate security.Â
Our attorneys are ready to provide compassionate counsel and aggressive advocacy in order to win the maximum compensation that is rightfully yours. To speak with a Coker Law attorney or for more information, call (904) 299-0808 or contact us online to schedule a free consultation.
