Breaking Down Premises Liability Law In Georgia

Premises liability is one of the most common types of personal injury claims we handle here at Phillips & Nemajovsky. Property owners, business operators, and managers in Georgia have a legal responsibility to keep their premises safe for visitors like you, though this does not apply to everyone in every circumstance. According to Georgia Code §§ 51-3-1 and 51-3-2, the level of care property owners must provide depends on the visitor's status:

  • Invitees, such as customers in a restaurant or store, are owed the highest duty of care.
  • Licensees, such as social guests and friends in a home, are owed a moderate duty of care.
  • Trespassers, such as urban explorers or burglars, are generally not owed any duty, except to avoid willful or reckless harm.

Examples of Premises Liability Cases We Handle

  • Slip and Fall Accidents: Wet or uneven floors that lack adequate warning signage can cause debilitating injuries.
  • Defective Property Conditions: Broken stairs, dim lighting, and loose railings often lead to preventable accidents with severe injuries.
  • Hazardous Spills: Businesses must promptly clean spills and alert visitors to potential dangers with clear signage.

Such hazards can result in accidents like falls or explosions that cause serious injuries, including fractures, burns, concussions, and even brain or spinal damage. Worse still, these injuries often impact more than just your physical health; the aftermath and recovery from such an injury can affect your ability to work, maintain relationships, or handle everyday responsibilities.

Why Seek Professional Legal Help For Premises Liability Personal Injury Claims?

In Georgia, the law places the burden of proof on the injured party, that’s you. This means you need to prove that a property owner or another party was negligent in maintaining safe conditions, and that that negligence led to your injury. In slip-and-fall cases or other premises liability claims, this involves demonstrating that the property owner failed to address or warn you about dangerous conditions that they either knew about or should have known about.

This is no small task, especially when you're trying to recover from an injury. Without experienced legal representation, you might find yourself under pressure from insurance companies offering lowball settlements. Or worse, you could miss critical filing deadlines. A proficient personal injury lawyer who understands Georgia's legal system can help level the playing field and ensure your rights are protected.

What You Get When Working With Our Personal Injury Attorneys

When you trust Phillips & Nemajovsky with your case, you’re getting more than just legal representation; you're gaining a powerful ally against greedy insurance companies. We handle each aspect of your claim from the initial demand letter to the final verdict or settlement negotiation so that you can focus on healing.

Here are just some of the main ways we can help:

  • Conducting Investigations and Analyzing Evidence: We collect every relevant piece of evidence, such as surveillance footage, witness statements, and medical records, to build a solid case against whoever should be held responsible for your injury.
  • Negotiating With Difficult Insurance Companies: We push back against low settlement offers and manipulative tactics, ensuring that any settlement reached includes fair compensation that fully addresses your needs.
  • Representing You In Any Georgia Court: If a settlement cannot be reached through negotiations, we are always prepared to advocate for your rights in court before a judge and jury through personal injury litigation.

Most importantly, though, we make sure you obtain all the potential compensation you have a right to after your injury, including coverage for:

  • Medical expenses (both past, current and future) connected to the injury.
  • Lost income and wages for work you were unable to do, or will never be able to do.
  • Rehabilitation, physical therapy and other long-term care costs,
  • Pain and suffering, emotional trauma, and other non-economic damages

Our priority is to help ease your financial and emotional burden so you can focus on rebuilding your life.
