Premises Liability Lawyer Atlanta, GA
The area of law known as “premises liability” is typically associated with personal injury cases and involves situations where an individual suffers an injury or dies while on someone else’s property. All landowners, public and private, have a duty through the exercise of ordinary care to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition and free of foreseeable dangers or hazards.
This responsibility exists regardless of whether the person entering the premises is a customer, guest, employee, or, in some instances, even a trespasser. To succeed in a premises liability claim, the plaintiff (the injured party) must prove that the property owner knew or should have known about the hazardous conditions or circumstances that led to their injuries, but failed to take reasonable steps to correct them or warn of the danger.
Our seasoned Atlanta premises liability lawyer knows how to thoroughly review security footage, inspect checklists, and gather witness statements that may reveal a pattern of negligence or ignored safety concerns. Your attorney will also thoroughly analyze your case to determine the full extent of your damages and pursue every available avenue to secure the compensation you deserve for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Why Experience Matters In Premises Liability Cases
Property owners frequently try to dispute liability by employing various legal tactics, such as arguing that the hazard was ‘open and obvious,’ meaning any reasonable person should have seen and avoided it.
