DeKalb County apartment complex attacks
Serving residents and guests hurt at apartment complexes in Decatur, Brookhaven, Dunwoody, Stonecrest and across DeKalb County.
Who keeps the crime records
DeKalb County Police in unincorporated areas; city police in Decatur, Brookhaven, Dunwoody and others. Prior calls for service and incident reports at the property address can show whether the owner was on notice. We request them through Georgia’s Open Records Act.
Where a case may be filed
Many injury cases against property owners are filed in the State Court of DeKalb County or Superior Court of DeKalb County, though the right court depends on who is sued and where they are located.
What to do now
- Get medical care and keep every record.
- Get the police report number from the responding agency.
- Photograph broken gates, doors, locks and lights, with dates.
- Save texts and emails with management.
- Don’t sign anything from the landlord or its insurer before you get advice.
