When you enter a store, restaurant, hotel, or even a friend’s home, you expect the property to be safe. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. Every year, countless people in Georgia are injured because property owners failed to address unsafe conditions. These types of cases fall under premises liability law, which holds property owners responsible for keeping their premises safe for guests and customers.



At The Boone Firm, we believe no one should suffer because of another’s negligence. If you’ve been injured on someone else’s property, our legal team is ready to help you pursue the compensation you deserve.

What Is Premises Liability?

Premises liability is the legal principle that property owners have a duty of care to ensure their property is safe for lawful visitors. If a hazard exists and the owner knew — or should have known — about it, they are responsible for fixing it or warning guests about the danger.

When they fail to do so, and an accident happens, the injured party may have a valid premises liability claim.

Common Situations That Lead to Premises Liability Cases

Premises liability claims can arise from a wide range of dangerous conditions, including:

• Slip and fall accidents from wet floors or spilled liquids
• Poor lighting that creates dangerous walkways
• Broken or loose stairs and handrails
• Uneven flooring or torn carpets
• Unsafe elevators or escalators
• Falling objects such as improperly secured shelves or fixtures
• Obstructions in walkways

However, not all accidents qualify. For example, if a hazard occurred moments before your accident and the property owner had no way to know, they may not be held liable. That’s why it’s important to discuss your case with a skilled attorney who can evaluate the details.

Steps to Take If You’re Injured on Someone Else’s Property

If you’ve been injured in a premises liability accident, taking the right steps can make a big difference in your claim:

1. Seek medical attention immediately — Your health and safety come first.
2. Document the scene — Take photos of the hazard that caused your injury, if possible.
3. File a report — If the accident happened at a business, make sure to complete a written incident report and request a copy.
4. Keep records — Save medical bills, injury reports, and any other related documentation.
5. Contact an attorney quickly — The sooner you involve a lawyer, the stronger your case will be.
