Accidents can happen anywhere, and when they do, the law holds individuals responsible for their negligence that resulted in injury. The owner of the property is liable to ensure that their property is safe for those, willing to enter. If a person is injured in an accident on someone else's property, this is known as a premises liability case. Premises liability cases can be quite complicated as they involve the intersection of several areas of the law. In this blog post, we will discuss grounds for a premises liability claim in Georgia and how The Boone Firm, P.C. assists Georgia residents with personal injury matters.

In Georgia, a person has the right to file a premises liability claim if they sustain injuries due to a dangerous condition on someone else's property. The injured person has to prove that their injury was the result of the property owner's negligence. The property owner had a duty to keep the property safe and failed to do so, which caused the injury. For instance, if a person slips and falls due to icy patches on the sidewalk, the property owner could be held liable for not taking reasonable measures to clear the ice.

It is essential to note that Georgia law recognizes contributory negligence, which means that the injured person may also be partially responsible for the accident and, as a consequence, the injuries they have sustained. If the injured person shares a portion of the blame for the accident, the compensation they receive is reduced accordingly.

The types of injuries that can occur in a premises liability case are varied, from simple bruising to more severe injuries like spinal cord injuries.
