Types of Premises Liability Claims We Handle
Property owners in Georgia have a legal duty to keep their premises safe for guests and customers. When they fail, they may be liable for injuries caused by:
- Wet or slippery floors with no warning signs
- Uneven sidewalks or cracked pavement
- Poor lighting in stairwells or parking garages
- Unsecured rugs or exposed wires
- Broken railings or stairs
- Negligent security leading to assault or injury

Whether the property is residential, commercial, or public, we hold owners accountable for unsafe conditions.

Imagine This
You’re walking through a Midtown grocery store when you slip on a leaking freezer puddle. There’s no warning sign, and you fall hard—fracturing your wrist and tearing your rotator cuff. A review of security footage shows the spill had been there for 45 minutes without cleanup. We demand accountability from the store’s insurer, recovering your medical expenses and lost income.
What You Need to Prove
To win a premises liability claim, we must show that:
- The property owner knew or should have known about the hazard
- They failed to fix it or warn you in a reasonable time
- That failure caused your injury
We move quickly to secure surveillance footage, witness statements, and inspection logs before they disappear.
Let’s talk about your case before time runs out.
FAQs: Slip and Fall Accidents in Georgia
Do I have a case if I was partly at fault?
Possibly. Georgia follows a modified comparative fault rule. If you were less than 50% at fault, you can still recover damages.
How soon should I report a slip and fall?
Immediately. Report the incident to the property owner or manager and seek medical attention. Then contact a lawyer to protect your rights.
What if there were no warning signs?
That’s a strong factor in your favor. Businesses must warn guests about known hazards and take prompt action to fix them.
