In Georgia, property owners are required to keep their properties safe and free from hazards. That includes making sure that the interior, exterior, fixtures, etc. are all safe and in proper working order. If someone is injured due to a hazard or defect, the property owner can be held legally liable.

Premises liability is an area of law found in Georgia Code Section 51-3-1 “Duty of owner or occupier of land to invitee.” (OCGA 51-3-1). This law states,
“Where an owner or occupier of land, by express or implied invitation, induces or leads others to come upon his premises for any lawful purpose, he is liable in damages to such persons for injuries caused by his failure to exercise ordinary care in keeping the premises and approaches safe.”
In simple terms, this law means that property owners are legally responsible for keeping the premises safe for visitors, customers, renters, or other invitees. The law includes private properties and businesses or commercial spaces.
If the property owner or manager fails to keep the property safe, they can be liable for any injuries that result. In such cases, the victim files a premises liability claim, which is a lawsuit filed in civil court.
