Premises Liability

Property Owner Negligence in Georgia

Accidents that are caused by defective or dangerous property such as slip and fall, either inside or outside a building, are called premises liability accidents. These accidents can take place at commercial buildings, at private residences, or on public property such as parks, streets, or public transportation.

If you were hurt because of the property owner’s negligence or recklessness, you may be able to get compensation for your injuries. A knowledgeable premises liability attorney at Hartman-Imbriale can help determine whether you have a good chance of obtaining compensation in your case. In general, for you to collect on an injury claim in Alpharetta or Cherokee County, your premises liability lawyer must prove that the property owner or other responsible party failed to exercise reasonable care to prevent your injury. Proof is established by showing that certain conditions apply:

  • The defendant owed you a duty
  • The defendant failed to carry out the duty it owed you
  • You were injured
  • The defendant’s failure caused your injury

Cherokee County premises liability lawyers at Hartman-Imbriale have helped numerous clients with serious personal injuries establish these conditions and win significant awards of damages. Contact us for a free consultation on the particulars of your case.
