Types Of Premises Liability Accidents
When someone is injured on the property of another, that person may have an action under the theory of premises liability.
Types of accidents and injuries that fall under the category of premises liability include:
- Slips, trips, and falls;
- Falls from heights;
- Dog bites;
- Drowning and near-drowning accidents;
- Assault, sexual assault, and other crimes;
- Elevator and escalator accidents;
- Amusement park accidents; and
- Exposure to toxic fumes or chemicals.
Elements Of A Premises Liability Claim
Premises liability is a legal theory that holds that the owner of a property (premise) can be held liable for damages resulting from injuries/accidents on the property if the accident was the result of a defective or hazardous condition.
The elements of a premises liability claim include:
- A defective or hazardous condition existed on the property;
- The property owner knew or should have known of the condition;
- The property owner failed to remedy the condition within a reasonable amount of time; and
- The hazardous or defective condition was the direct cause of the victim’s accident and injuries.
How A Georgia Premises Liability Attorney Can Help
If you believe that your injuries are the result of a dangerous condition that existed on a property other than your own, our lawyers can help you to build your case and hold the property owner liable for the full extent of your injuries. We will work to:
- Prove that you were on the property lawfully (premises liability protections and the duty of care that a property owner owes to a person on their property do not extend to trespassers);
- Prove that a dangerous condition existed and that the property owner had knowledge of the condition or reasonably should have had knowledge of the condition;
- Prove that an unreasonable amount of time passed without the property owner remedying the condition; Show that there is causation between the condition and your accident and injuries; and
- Prove the extent of your damages.
