Premises Liability And Slip And Fall

Premises liability is a law in the State of Georgia that allows individuals injured on another person’s property to recover damages associated with their injury if the owner or occupier did not take steps necessary to keep the premises safe. Property injuries can occur in many different places, including:

  • Amusement parks
  • Retail stores
  • Restaurants and bars
  • Gas stations
  • Hospitals and medical offices
  • Apartment complexes
  • Parking garages
  • Sporting venues

Many people often think of slip-and-fall cases when they think of premises liability. However, there are many different types of property injuries that can occur such as fires, escalator incidents and negligent security to name a few.

The Burden Of Proof

It might seem easy for an injured person to win and recover money for a slip-and-fall injury — but it is not.

In Georgia, the injured party (referred to as the plaintiff) has the burden to show that the property owner had knowledge of the hazard that caused the injury AND that the plaintiff lacked the knowledge of the hazard.

Hiring an experienced attorney, one who has handled many cases and recovered for others, can dramatically increase your chances of recovery.
