What Qualifies as a Premises Liability Case in Georgia?
A Griffin premises liability lawyer can help you pursue justice if you were injured because of unsafe conditions on someone else's property. In Georgia, property owners are legally responsible for maintaining a reasonably safe environment for any guests or visitors. When they neglect that duty, they may be held liable for resulting injuries.
Examples of unsafe conditions might include failing to clean up a spill, not repairing a broken stair, or not providing adequate lighting in a parking lot where an assault occurs.
This area of law, known as premises liability law, focuses on situations where harm could have been prevented with proper care. To build a strong case, you'll need to show that the property owner knew about the hazard or should have known, and failed to take action to fix it.
If you were hurt on someone else's property in Griffin, GA, or the surrounding areas, and think the owner was negligent, call our highly qualified premises liability attorney in Spalding County now at (678) 603-1119 to find out if you have a case.
What Our Clients Say
We Handle All Types of Premises Liability Claims
Our personal injury lawyers in Griffin, Georgia, handle many different types of premises liability cases. These include:
- Slip and fall accidents
- Trip and fall accidents
- Negligent security claims
- Swimming pool injuries
- Dog bites or animal bites
- Elevator/escalator malfunctions
- Falling merchandise in retail stores or warehouses
- Exposure to toxic substances (mold, lead, asbestos)
- Injuries from defective conditions in rental properties
Under Georgia law, premises liability can apply to either public or private property. Slip and fall accidents, as one example, often happen in public places like grocery stores, retail stores, restaurants, or hotels where there is a wet floor. If you are on someone's private property for a yard sale and their unrestrained dog bites you, you likely have a solid personal injury claim.
So long as you have a legal right to be in that location, either as a customer or a guest, you can seek financial damages for your injuries. This applies whether it's on public or private property. However, if you were trespassing at the time of your injury, you might not have a case. That can be an extremely high legal bar to clear.
No matter where your injury happened, our personal injury attorney and entire legal team are ready to help. Contact us at (678) 603-1119 for a free, confidential case evaluation.
Don't Let An Insurance Company Deny Your Rightful Claim
Every insurance adjuster's job is to protect the insurance company's financial interests by paying out as little as possible. When you file a claim for injuries, an adjuster will be assigned to you, and they'll be calling. They use many different tactics to try to invalidate or devalue your claim. They might try to get you to make a recorded statement, which they will then use to twist your words and make it sound like the accident was your fault. It's very common for adjusters to offer a lowball settlement before the full extent of your injuries is even known.
Our Georgia accident injury law firm is here to take over all communication with the insurance company on your behalf. You shouldn't have to deal with that stress. We've recovered over $100 million in settlements for our clients and have a long track record of forcing insurance companies to pay what's fair.
Here's what one of our premises liability clients, Khadijah, had to say:
"I contacted The Graham Firm regarding an injury from a department store. I believed in them from the start when Attorney Graham decided to take my case. It took some time but, I got greater results from when I was trying to handle it myself. The team is awesome!"
