What makes a strong case
Georgia law requires property owners to use ordinary care to keep their premises safe for invited guests. The key question is usually whether the owner knew, or should have known, about the hazard and failed to fix it or warn you.
That's why evidence matters so much in these cases. Surveillance video gets recorded over, incident reports disappear, and hazards get fixed. We move fast to lock that evidence down.
Negligent security
When someone is attacked at an apartment complex, gas station, or parking lot, the property owner may share responsibility if prior crimes made the attack foreseeable and they failed to take reasonable steps like adequate lighting, working gates, cameras, or security patrols.
We dig into police call histories, prior incidents, and the owner's own security decisions to build these cases.
If you've been hurt on someone's property
- Report it before you leave. Ask the manager to make an incident report and ask for a copy.
- Photograph the hazard. Get pictures of what caused your fall before it's cleaned up or repaired.
- Get names of witnesses. Employees and other customers can be key later.
- Call us quickly. We'll send a demand to preserve video before it's deleted, which can happen in days.
Common questions
Isn't it my fault if I fell?
Not automatically. If the owner knew or should have known about the hazard and didn't fix it or warn you, they may be responsible. We look at the full picture.
How long do I have to file?
Most premises injury claims in Georgia must be filed within two years. Claims involving government property can have much shorter notice deadlines.
