Georgia premises liability law holds property owners and occupiers responsible for injuries that occur on their property. This includes injuries that happen due to negligence, such as a failure to warn of a hazard or keep the premises safe.

To recover compensation in a premises liability claim in Georgia, you must prove the following four elements:



Duty of care: The property owner had a duty to keep the premises safe, respond to potential hazards, and warn visitors of dangerous conditions.

Breach of duty: The property owner failed to meet their duty of care.

Causation: The property owner's negligence caused your injuries.

Damages: You suffered damages as a result of the injuries.



Some examples of injuries that may be covered by premises liability law include:



Exposure to hazardous materials like asbestos, mold, or lead paint

Injuries from criminal acts, such as shootings, stabbings, or assault

Injuries from building collapse, falling tree limbs, or fires

Injuries from dog bites or other animal attacks

Slip and fall accidents



If you've been injured on someone else's property, you should speak with an experienced personal injury attorney to learn more about your legal rights.
