Premises Liability

Property owners and managers in Georgia have a legal duty to maintain reasonably safe conditions for visitors. When they fail in that duty — whether through negligent security, hazardous conditions, or inadequate maintenance — and someone gets hurt, they can be held liable.

Premises liability cases include slip-and-fall accidents, trip-and-fall injuries, negligent security leading to assault, swimming pool accidents, dog bites, elevator and escalator accidents, and injuries caused by inadequate lighting or unmarked hazards.

These cases require proving that the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn visitors. We conduct thorough investigations including reviewing security footage, maintenance logs, prior incident reports, and building code compliance.

Negligent security cases are particularly serious. When apartment complexes, parking garages, hotels, or businesses fail to provide adequate security measures and someone is assaulted, the property owner shares responsibility for those injuries.
