Atlanta Premises Liability Attorney
Slip and Fall Attorney Serving the Atlanta Area
Premises liability refers to the laws that make property owners responsible to those who sustain injuries on their premises that are caused by the "failure to exercise ordinary care in keeping the premises and approaches safe." If you slip and fall on another's premises due to a hazard which the property owner, manager, or occupier had knowledge of and failed to correct in a timely fashion, you may be entitled to financial compensation for damages. The premises may be a retail store, office building, hotel, restaurant, movie theater, sports venue, parking lot, parking structure, apartment building, or a private home. If the property owner was negligent in providing a safe environment, he or she may be held liable for injuries.
If you or someone you know has been injured in a slip and fall, trip and fall, or other incident on someone else's property that was caused by a dangerous property condition, it is important to discuss your case with an Atlanta personal injury attorney at The Craig Firm, LLC as soon as possible. A careful review of the circumstances of your slip and fall and the resulting injuries may lead to a valid injury claim or lawsuit.

Many different kinds of hazards may lead to a slip and fall accident. Wet slippery floors, faulty railings, loose steps, poor lighting or no lighting at all in hallways or on walkways or paths, broken floor tiles, torn carpeting, pot holes in parking lots, negligent security at public events or venues can all cause premises liability cases. In each case, the property owner or manager must have failed to provide a reasonably safe environment for anyone visiting the premises, such as a guest, patron, customer, service personnel, or other invitee.
