Premises Liability
In Georgia, premises liability cases can arise from various situations where property owners or occupiers fail to maintain safe conditions. These cases involve proving that the property owner was negligent in maintaining safe conditions and that this negligence directly caused the injury, which requires experienced personal injury attorneys to guide you through the legal process. Common types of premises liability cases include:
Slip and Fall Accidents:
These occur due to wet floors, uneven surfaces, or other hazards that cause someone to trip or slip.
Inadequate Security:
Property owners may be liable if they fail to provide adequate security measures, leading to assaults or other criminal activities.
Dog Bites:
Owners can be held responsible if their dog bites someone on their property.
Swimming Pool Accidents:
These include drownings or injuries due to unsafe pool conditions.
Defective Elevators and Escalators:
Malfunctions in these devices can lead to serious injuries.
Falling Objects:
Injuries caused by objects falling from shelves or other high places.
Fire Safety Violations:
Property owners can be liable for injuries resulting from inadequate fire safety measures.
