Frequently Asked Questions About Premises Liability
What to Do After a Premises Liability Accident?
Get medical attention right away and report the incident to the property owner or manager. Take photos of the hazard, gather witness information, and avoid giving statements to insurance companies before speaking with an attorney.
What Is the Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Claims in Georgia?
In Georgia, you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury or premises liability lawsuit. Missing this deadline can permanently bar your claim.
What Damages Are Available for a Premises Liability Claim?
Damages may include medical expenses, future treatment, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, and long term injury related losses.
What Can I Expect if I Decide to File a Premises Liability Lawsuit with an Attorney?
Your attorney will investigate the unsafe condition, gather evidence, handle insurance negotiations, and file a lawsuit if needed. Most cases resolve through settlement, but your lawyer prepares every case for trial.
Who Is Responsible for a Dog Bite Under Georgia Law?
In Georgia, a dog owner may be held responsible if they knew or should have known the dog posed a risk or failed to properly control the animal. Liability depends on the facts of the incident and the actions of both the owner and the injured person.
What Is Considered a Premises Liability Case?
A premises liability case involves injuries caused by unsafe or hazardous property conditions. This can include slip and falls, poor maintenance, inadequate lighting, broken walkways, or other dangerous conditions on someone else’s property.
Who Can Be Held Responsible for Unsafe Property Conditions?
Responsibility may fall on property owners, landlords, property managers, or businesses, depending on who controlled or maintained the property. Liability is based on whether reasonable care was taken to address known hazards.
Can I File a Premises Liability Claim If I Was Partially at Fault?
Georgia follows a modified comparative fault rule. This means you may still be able to recover compensation if you were partially responsible, as long as your share of fault does not exceed the legal limit set by state law.
Do I Still Have a Claim If There Was No Warning Sign?
A lack of warning signs can be an important factor in premises liability cases. Property owners may be responsible if they failed to warn visitors about hazards they knew or should have known about.
Can Tenants, Guests, or Visitors File Premises Liability Claims?
Yes. Tenants, guests, and other lawful visitors may have the right to file a premises liability claim if they were injured due to unsafe conditions on a property they were legally allowed to be on.
