Understanding Premises Liability Law in Georgia
Under Georgia’s premises liability law, property owners are responsible for ensuring the safety of visitors and guests while on their property. This means that if you sustain an injury on someone else’s property due to a hazardous condition or negligence on the part of the property owner, you may be entitled to seek compensation by filing a premises liability claim.
Premises liability claims can arise from a variety of situations in various locations, such as:
- Hotels

That’s why our premises liability attorneys in Atlanta are dedicated to fighting for the compensation you deserve.
Our attorneys have extensive knowledge of premises liability law to represent clients in a wide range of premises liability claims, including:
Assault
Assault is type of premises liability claim that arises when a property owner’s negligence results in an individual being assaulted on their premises, such as due to poorly lit parking lots, unsecured apartment complexes, or entertainment venues lacking adequate security measures. Property owners have a legal duty to maintain a safe environment and take reasonable steps to prevent foreseeable harm, including securing their property against potential criminal acts.
Negligent Security
Property owners who fail to implement adequate security measures put guests and visitors at serious risk of harm. If you suffered a wrongful injury due to negligent security, our attorneys can fight to hold all liable parties accountable for negligence. Our attorneys are experienced in handling a variety of negligent security cases resulting in harm or injury to patrons, such as those involving inadequate lighting, lack of security cameras, broken locks, and other inadequate security measures.
Slip & Fall
Slips, trips, and falls are among the most common types of premises liability cases. These accidents can occur due to various hazards, such as wet floors, uneven surfaces, or debris on walkways. If you suffered an injury in a slip-and-fall accident on someone else's property, our skilled attorneys can help you seek compensation for damages, gather evidence, interview witnesses, and prove that the property owner's negligence caused your injuries.
Dog Bites
Pet owners have a legal obligation to keep their animals under control and prevent them from attacking or harming others. If you were bitten by a dog on someone else's property, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. Our premises liability lawyers can help you understand your legal options and guide you through the process of filing a premises liability claim against the dog owner responsible.
Who Is Liable in a Premises Liability Case?
In a premises liability claim, the property owner or manager is often liable for wrongful injuries sustained on their property if they were aware or should have been aware of the hazardous condition that led to the injury. However, premises liability can also extend to contractors or maintenance companies if their negligence contributed to the dangerous condition.
Remember, consulting with an experienced premises liability lawyer is critical before filing a claim. When you contact DGL Attorneys at Law, we can thoroughly investigate your case to determine all liable parties and help you pursue maximum compensation for your injuries.
Understanding Negligence in Premises Liability Cases
To have legal standing for a premises liability claim, you must prove that the property owner was negligent in maintaining their property. This means showing that they a) knew about the dangerous condition or should have known about it, and b) failed to take reasonable steps to address it.
Common examples of negligence include:
- Failing to repair broken equipment
- Failing to warn visitors of potential hazards
- Failing to maintain the property properly
