Understanding Premises Liability Law
Premises liability is a legal doctrine that holds property owners and occupiers responsible for injuries that occur due to unsafe or dangerous conditions on their premises. In simple terms, if someone owns or controls a piece of property — whether it’s a business, a rental property, or a private residence — they have a legal duty to make sure it’s reasonably safe for the people who enter it.
When they fail to uphold that duty — by ignoring a broken handrail, failing to clean up a spill, not repairing damaged flooring, or failing to provide adequate lighting or security — they can be held financially responsible for any injuries that result.
Premises liability claims are a type of personal injury case, but they involve unique legal challenges. You must show not only that you were injured, but also that the property owner knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to take reasonable steps to fix or warn about it. That’s where a knowledgeable and determined premises liability attorney from The Super Lawyer – Greene Legal Group becomes essential.
We handle a wide range of property-related injury cases — from slip and fall accidents in grocery stores to physical assaults in poorly secured apartment complexes. Whether your injuries happened in a commercial, residential, or public setting, our legal team will work tirelessly to investigate what happened, identify every liable party, and pursue full and fair compensation for your losses.
Understanding your rights under Georgia premises liability law, as well as laws in surrounding states like South Carolina and Illinois, is crucial. Different types of visitors — invitees (customers), licensees (social guests), and trespassers — are owed different levels of legal protection. Our team has the experience and legal insight to determine your status under the law and build a case that reflects your rights and the property owner’s obligations.
At The Super Lawyer – Greene Legal Group, we believe that every person has the right to walk through a building, across a sidewalk, or into a parking lot without worrying about hidden dangers or unaddressed safety issues. And when someone violates that right — through neglect, laziness, or pure indifference — we make sure they answer for it.

Rapid Response and Early Action — Property Conditions Can Change Overnight
In premises liability cases, timing is everything. Broken handrails can get repaired. Warning signs can suddenly appear. Surveillance footage may be deleted, and property managers may shift blame or deny responsibility. That’s why the moment we take your case, our premises liability attorneys move fast.
Our legal team launches an immediate investigation into what caused your injury. We photograph the hazardous condition, interview witnesses, gather incident reports, secure building maintenance logs, and obtain video footage where available.

Compassionate Support for Your Medical and Recovery Needs

This means your focus stays where it belongs: on healing. Let us carry the legal burden. You owe us nothing unless and until we recover money on your behalf.
A Customized Legal Strategy Designed Around You
Every premises liability case is different. Some involve slip and fall injuries caused by negligence in a retail store. Others result from structural failures, unmarked hazards, or repeated maintenance violations in apartment complexes or commercial buildings. That’s why we never take a one-size-fits-all approach.

Common Premises Liability Cases We Handle
At The Super Lawyer – Greene Legal Group, our experienced premises liability lawyers have successfully represented individuals injured on dangerous, poorly maintained, or negligently managed properties throughout Georgia, South Carolina, Illinois, and beyond. Premises liability covers a broad category of personal injury cases, all tied to one key concept: when property owners fail to keep their premises reasonably safe, innocent people get hurt — and those owners can be held legally and financially responsible.
We understand that no two cases are exactly alike. Every incident comes with its own facts, injuries, and challenges. But one thing remains consistent: when a hazardous condition is overlooked or ignored, the consequences for the victim can be devastating. Below are some of the most common types of premises liability cases our attorneys handle — each one approached with the full attention, investigation, and aggressive representation our firm is known for.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall claims are among the most common premises liability cases, and they can happen almost anywhere — grocery stores, restaurants, apartment complexes, office buildings, or retail centers. These accidents may be caused by wet or slippery floors, spilled substances, worn carpeting, loose tiles, poorly maintained walkways, or uneven pavement. In many cases, lighting is inadequate or signage is missing, making hazards difficult to detect until it’s too late. Our premises liability attorneys have extensive experience proving fault in slip and fall cases and securing compensation for injuries like fractured hips, head trauma, sprains, and long-term mobility issues.
Inadequate or Negligent Security
When a property is located in an area with known crime activity, or when it’s reasonably foreseeable that violent incidents could occur, property owners are required to take appropriate steps to deter criminal behavior. If you’ve been assaulted, robbed, or sexually attacked in a hotel, apartment complex, parking garage, college campus, or event venue due to poor lighting, broken gates, a lack of security cameras, or untrained personnel, you may have a negligent security claim. Our legal team is well-versed in holding owners and managers accountable when their failure to provide basic security measures results in life-changing harm to tenants, visitors, or patrons.
Dog Bites and Animal Attacks
Property owners — including private homeowners, landlords, and commercial operators — have a duty to control dangerous animals on their premises. A dog bite, especially one involving a child or elderly person, can result in serious physical injuries, permanent scarring, emotional trauma, and the risk of infection. Our premises liability lawyers understand the nuances of state-specific dog bite laws and how they apply to both public and private property. Whether the dog was unrestrained in a common area or an aggressive pet broke free from a yard or leash, we investigate every detail and fight for the full scope of your damages.
Swimming Pool Accidents
Swimming pools can be fun — but they can also be deadly when proper safety measures aren’t in place. Drownings and near-drownings often occur due to a lack of fencing, poor maintenance, slippery pool decks, broken ladders, or inadequate supervision, especially at hotels, apartment complexes, and private clubs. These cases are particularly tragic when children are involved. We represent families whose loved ones have suffered traumatic injuries or wrongful death due to unsafe pool environments and fight to hold the responsible parties — including landlords and maintenance companies — legally accountable.
Structural Hazards and Property Defects
Serious injuries can occur when parts of a building or structure collapse or fail due to improper construction, neglected repairs, or lack of inspection. These include falling ceiling tiles, balcony collapses, broken staircases, crumbling sidewalks, and unsafe decks or walkways. Sometimes, the danger is known to the property owner — and ignored for cost-saving reasons. Other times, they fail to perform routine maintenance that would have identified the hazard before someone got hurt. These are classic premises liability claims, and our team works with engineers, safety experts, and inspectors to prove liability and secure justice for victims.
Retail Store and Commercial Property Injuries
If you were hurt inside a retail store, restaurant, warehouse, hotel, mall, or other commercial space, the property owner or tenant may be liable. We handle cases involving merchandise falling from shelves, defective escalators or elevators, unmarked construction zones, or injuries from temporary installations and displays. These businesses have a legal obligation to inspect their premises and protect customers — and when they fail, The Super Lawyer steps in to demand answers.
Injuries in Rental Housing and Apartment Complexes
Landlords have a responsibility to keep common areas safe for tenants and their guests. This includes stairwells, sidewalks, hallways, parking lots, and recreational facilities. When landlords ignore known issues — like poor lighting, loose railings, broken locks, or uneven concrete — and someone gets hurt, they can be held accountable through a premises liability lawsuit. Our firm represents renters and guests who have suffered preventable injuries due to substandard housing conditions and unsafe living environments.
Determining Liability in a Premises Liability Case: How The Super Lawyer Builds a Winning Claim
At The Super Lawyer – Greene Legal Group, we know that proving liability in a premises liability case requires more than just showing that you were injured on someone else’s property. To secure the justice and compensation you deserve, we must build a case that meets specific legal standards — and we do so with thorough investigation, strategic legal analysis, and unwavering commitment to your recovery.
Premises liability law is built on the foundation of duty, breach, causation, and damages. These four pillars form the structure of any strong claim, and our premises liability attorneys know how to apply them to hold negligent property owners accountable.
Here’s how our premises liability lawyers do it:
Establishing the Property Owner’s Legal Duty of Care
The first step in any premises liability case is proving that the property owner — or the party responsible for controlling or maintaining the property — owed you a duty of care. This legal duty varies depending on your status at the time of the incident. Were you a customer in a business (an invitee)? A guest in someone’s home (a licensee)? Or someone who entered the property without permission (a trespasser)? The law provides different protections for each category, and our premises liability lawyers are skilled at identifying your legal status and establishing the level of care you were owed under the law.
In most cases involving commercial properties, landlords, or public spaces, owners have a duty to keep the premises reasonably safe, conduct routine inspections, and warn visitors of known dangers. When they neglect these responsibilities, that’s where legal liability begins.
Proving the Breach — Where the Owner Failed
Once we’ve established a duty, we must show that the property owner breached that duty. This means they either created a hazardous condition, knew about it and did nothing, or should have known if they had exercised reasonable care. This could be anything from failing to mop up a spill in a grocery store, ignoring broken handrails in an apartment stairwell, leaving a pool gate unlocked, or not fixing faulty lighting in a dimly lit parking garage.
Our team at The Super Lawyer doesn’t just point fingers — we dig deep. We collect maintenance records, inspection logs, photographs, internal communications, prior complaints, and surveillance footage. We interview witnesses and employees. We use expert testimony when needed to prove that the property was unsafe and that the owner had every opportunity to fix the problem — but didn’t.
Connecting the Dots: Causation
Causation is one of the most critical and contested aspects of a premises liability case. The property owner may admit that there was a hazard but claim that it wasn’t the reason you were hurt. It’s our job to clearly and convincingly show that the dangerous condition directly caused your injury.
Our premises liability attorneys use everything at our disposal — incident reports, medical records, expert analysis, accident reconstructions, and firsthand testimony — to prove this link. Whether you tripped over loose flooring, slipped on an unmarked spill, or were struck by falling merchandise, we show that it wasn’t bad luck or clumsiness — it was preventable negligence.
Documenting Your Damages — And Valuing What You’ve Lost
Finally, we must demonstrate that you suffered real, compensable damages as a result of the incident. This includes economic losses, such as emergency room visits, hospital stays, follow-up care, lost wages, and future medical treatment. It also includes non-economic damages like pain and suffering, emotional distress, permanent disfigurement, loss of mobility, or decreased quality of life.
At The Super Lawyer – Greene Legal Group, our premises liability attorneys know how to fully value your claim. We don’t settle for surface-level estimates or accept the first offer from an insurance company. We work with medical professionals, vocational experts, and financial analysts to assess the full impact your injury has had — and will continue to have — on your life.
Types of Compensation Available in Premises Liability Cases
If you’ve been injured due to unsafe or poorly maintained property, you may be facing more than just physical pain. Medical bills pile up quickly. Lost income creates financial pressure. Emotional trauma affects your ability to enjoy life or even feel safe in public. At The Super Lawyer – Greene Legal Group, our job isn’t just to get you a check — it’s to fight for the full and fair compensation you are legally entitled to under premises liability law.
Our experienced premises liability lawyers pursue every available category of damages, ensuring that your claim reflects not just what’s visible, but the full impact of the incident on your body, mind, career, and future.
Medical Expenses — Present and Future
Medical costs are often the most immediate and overwhelming concern after a premises-related injury. Whether you required emergency room care, surgery, or long-term rehabilitation, we seek compensation for all medical expenses tied to your injury. This includes doctor visits, hospital stays, diagnostic testing (like MRIs or CT scans), physical therapy, prescription medication, assistive devices, in-home care, and even anticipated future treatment if your recovery is ongoing or permanent.
We work closely with medical professionals to project future care needs and calculate realistic costs — so you’re not left footing the bill months or years after your case is resolved.
Lost Wages and Loss of Earning Potential
When an injury prevents you from working — temporarily or permanently — the financial impact can be devastating. Our premises liability lawyers fight to recover compensation for lost income, including hourly wages, salaries, tips, bonuses, freelance earnings, and more. If your injuries prevent you from returning to your prior job or force you into a lower-paying position, we also pursue damages for loss of earning capacity.
Our premises liability attorneys collaborate with vocational experts and financial professionals to assess how your injuries affect your long-term ability to earn a living — and we make sure that loss is fully valued in your claim.
Pain and Suffering
Not every injury is visible. The physical pain, emotional stress, fear, and anxiety that often follow a serious accident are real — and legally compensable. At The Super Lawyer, we fight for damages that reflect the true toll your injury has taken on your quality of life. Whether you experience chronic pain, limited mobility, insomnia, PTSD, or depression, you deserve to be compensated for how the incident has altered your daily experience.
Pain and suffering damages are often one of the largest components of a premises liability settlement or verdict — and we ensure they’re not overlooked or minimized by the insurance company.
Emotional Distress and Mental Anguish
After a traumatic event, many clients struggle with more than just physical injuries. The emotional aftermath can include intense psychological distress, panic attacks, fear of public spaces, or difficulty trusting others. Victims may isolate themselves, withdraw from loved ones, or lose their sense of personal safety.
Our premises liability lawyers understand the deep and lasting mental toll a preventable injury can take. That’s why we pursue additional damages for emotional distress and mental anguish when applicable, helping clients get compensation for therapy, counseling, or lost peace of mind.
Permanent Disability, Disfigurement, or Loss of Function
If your injuries are catastrophic or permanent — such as paralysis, amputation, traumatic brain injury, or scarring — your claim deserves to reflect that gravity. You may require lifelong care, home modifications, or job retraining. You may also experience the loss of independence, confidence, or basic functionality.
Our legal team ensures that your settlement or verdict takes these life-altering outcomes into account. We fight for damages that acknowledge not just your current suffering but also the challenges you will face for years to come.
Punitive Damages (When Gross Negligence Is Involved)
While most compensation is designed to make victims whole, punitive damages are meant to punish the wrongdoer — and deter others from making the same reckless choices. If a property owner’s conduct was especially careless, reckless, or knowingly dangerous, we may seek punitive damages on your behalf.
Examples include landlords who ignore repeated tenant safety complaints, commercial properties with known structural hazards that remain unaddressed, or business owners who fail to correct dangerous conditions despite prior lawsuits or injuries.
At The Super Lawyer – Greene Legal Group, our premises liability attorneys don’t hesitate to demand punitive damages when property owners show blatant disregard for human safety.
Reimbursement for Legal Fees and Costs
Pursuing justice shouldn’t drain your bank account. In many successful premises liability cases, the negligent party can be held responsible for attorney’s fees, court filing costs, deposition expenses, and expert witness fees. We make every effort to recover these expenses for you — so the costs of pursuing justice don’t come out of your pocket.
Because we work on a contingency fee basis, you never pay upfront. You owe us nothing unless we win — and when we do, we make sure the responsible party pays for their negligence.
We Don’t Settle for Half-Measures — We Demand Full Justice
At The Super Lawyer – Greene Legal Group, we know that the true cost of an injury can’t always be measured in receipts or hospital bills. It’s the missed work, the lost time with family, the chronic pain, and the fear of it happening again that affect you most.
That’s why we push for full, comprehensive compensation — not just what the insurance company is willing to offer, but what the law allows and your life demands. We build strong cases. Our premises liability lawyers negotiate hard. And if we have to go to court to get what you’re owed, we do it without hesitation.
You deserve every dollar — and every ounce of accountability — that the law provides. Let us fight for it.
Frequently Asked Questions About Premises Liability Claims
What qualifies as a premises liability claim in Georgia?
A premises liability claim in Georgia arises when a person is injured due to an unsafe condition on someone else’s property, and the property owner failed to take reasonable steps to prevent the injury. These claims commonly include slip and fall accidents, injuries from broken stairs, unmarked hazards, or poor lighting. To qualify, the property owner must have known, or should have known, about the dangerous condition and failed to address it.
Can I sue a landlord or business owner for unsafe property conditions?
Yes, you can sue a landlord, store owner, hotel manager, or any property operator if their negligence caused your injury. If the owner failed to fix a hazard they knew about—or should have known about—and you were hurt as a result, a premises liability attorney can help you bring a legal claim to recover compensation for your injuries.
How do I prove fault in a premises liability lawsuit?
To prove fault in a premises liability lawsuit, you must demonstrate that the property owner owed you a duty of care, that they breached that duty by allowing a hazardous condition to exist, and that the breach directly caused your injuries. Your premises liability lawyer will use evidence such as maintenance records, incident reports, witness statements, photos, and expert analysis to prove the property owner’s negligence.
What damages can I recover in a premises liability case?
In a premises liability case, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and future medical care. In cases involving gross negligence or willful disregard for safety, you may also recover punitive damages. An experienced premises liability attorney will evaluate your case to determine the full extent of your recoverable losses.
How long do I have to file a premises liability claim?
The statute of limitations for filing a premises liability claim varies by state. In Georgia, for example, you generally have two years from the date of the incident to file a lawsuit. Waiting too long can result in losing your legal right to recover compensation, so it’s important to contact a premises liability lawyer as soon as possible after your injury.
Can I still sue if I was partially at fault for my accident?
Yes, you can still pursue compensation in a premises liability case even if you were partially at fault, depending on your state’s comparative negligence laws. In Georgia, as long as you are less than 50% at fault, you can still recover damages, although your compensation may be reduced based on your share of responsibility. A premises liability lawyer can explain how fault is calculated and what it means for your case.
What should I do immediately after a premises liability accident?
After a premises liability accident, you should seek medical attention, report the incident to the property owner or manager, take photos of the scene and your injuries, and get contact information from any witnesses. As soon as you are able, you should contact a premises liability attorney who can help protect your rights and start building a strong legal case on your behalf.
