Property Owners Have a Duty to Keep You Safe

If you were hurt because someone failed to fix or warn you about a hazard on their property, you may have a premises liability case. These injuries aren’t your fault—and you shouldn’t have to deal with the consequences alone.


We help people across Georgia hold negligent landlords, business owners, and property managers responsible for unsafe conditions that lead to serious injury. If it happened on their property, we’ll help you make it their problem.

What Counts as Premises Liability?

This area of law covers a wide range of injuries that happen due to unsafe or poorly maintained property. Common examples include:

Person slipping and falling on a surface, indicating a hazard.

Slip & fall accidents

Isometric view of a diamond-shaped tile pattern, featuring rectangular tiles arranged in a brick-like layout.

Trip hazards like uneven flooring or loose cords

Line drawing of a staircase inside a corner.

Broken stairs, railings, or walkways

Two pendant lights with rays of light, side by side.

Poor lighting that leads to falls or assaults

Person falling down stairs; black stick figure.

Falling merchandise or debris

A stick figure is being menaced by a dog with an open mouth. The figure has arms outstretched, and looks scared.

Dog bites or animal attacks

Pool with a ladder and wavy water.

Swimming pool accidents

An icon of a person in a uniform with a hat, likely a security guard or police officer.

Negligent security leading to assault or theft

Common Questions About Premises Liability:

  • What’s the difference between slip & fall and premises liability?

    Slip & fall is one type of premises liability case. This area of law also covers other property-related hazards, like falling objects or lack of security.

  • Do I have a case if there was no warning sign?

    Possibly. If the hazard wasn’t obvious and the property owner knew (or should’ve known) about it, they may still be liable.

  • How do I prove the property owner was negligent?

    We gather evidence—photos, maintenance records, witness statements—to show that they failed to take reasonable steps to fix or warn you.

  • What if I was partially at fault?

    Georgia follows comparative negligence laws. Even if you were partly responsible, you may still recover damages—just reduced by your percentage of fault.
