How we handle a premises liability case

Preserving the evidence.Security and surveillance footage, incident reports, and maintenance records can be lost quickly. We move early to preserve the proof of the hazard and how it was handled.
Establishing the duty and the breach.We investigate the property owner's and operator's duty to keep the premises reasonably safe and to warn of hazards, and whether prior incidents or complaints put them on notice.
Identifying every responsible party.Responsibility can extend beyond the owner to a property-management company, a tenant business, a maintenance contractor, or a security provider, depending on the facts.
Documenting the harm.We coordinate the medical and financial picture so the full impact of the injury is presented, not minimized.
Litigating when needed.We prepare cases to be filed and tried, including in federal court where appropriate, and to withstand the defenses insurers raise in premises cases.

Why premises liability cases are different

Premises cases are not automatic. Georgia law generally requires showing that the property owner or operator was negligent, that the hazard was one they knew or should have known about, and that this caused the injury. That makes early evidence, notice, and a careful investigation critical. (Attorney to verify the standard and any exceptions before publish.)

Holding property owners and their insurers accountable

Behind most premises claims is a property owner, a business, and an insurer with an incentive to minimize what they pay. We built our premises practice to investigate the conditions, demand and preserve the records that matter, and pursue full and fair compensation rather than accept the first low offer.

Frequently asked questions

What is premises liability?

Premises liability is the area of law that holds property owners and operators responsible when someone is injured because the property was not kept reasonably safe or a known hazard was not addressed or warned about.

Do I have a case if I slipped and fell at a store?

It depends on the facts, including whether the business knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to fix it or warn about it. A free consultation can help you understand your situation. (Attorney to confirm.)

What should I do after an injury on someone else's property?

Get medical attention, and if you can, note what caused the fall or injury, take photos, and get the names of any witnesses and staff. Report the incident if there is a way to do so. Because footage and records can disappear quickly, it helps to speak with a lawyer early.

How long do I have to file a claim in Georgia?

Georgia sets a limited window to file a personal-injury lawsuit, often two years from the date of injury, but exceptions can apply, so you should not wait to get advice. (Attorney to verify the deadline and exceptions before publish.)
