Common Atlanta Premises Liability Accidents

Premises liability claims arise for many different reasons. Some of the more common accidents that lead to these claims include:

• Slipping and falling due to a wet surface
• Slipping and falling due to improperly treated sidewalks
• Tripping on broken, uneven, torn, or loose surfaces
• Tripping on a hazard in the walkway
• Defective or broken stairs, railings, or balconies
• Being hit by an object falling from a shelf
• Improperly maintained elevator or escalator
• Being assaulted on a property with inadequate security

Of course, there are many other accident scenarios that can lead to a premises liability claim. These examples are just some of the more common scenarios that we see in Atlanta premises liability claims.

Injuries Commonly Reported in Premises Liability Claims

Victims of premises liability accidents suffer a wide range of physical injuries and emotional trauma. The accidents mentioned above often result in injuries including:

• Bruises
• Cuts or lacerations
• Broken bones
• Torn ligaments or tendons
• Muscle injuries
• Head or brain injuries
• Neck and spine injuries

In addition to physical injuries, you may also be suffering the emotional toll of such an injury. Premises liability accidents often happen in public places. You may be embarrassed by what happened or may find yourself scared to visit similar properties. Your injuries and their financial toll can also impact you mentally and cause anxiety and stress.

Fortunately, with the help of the Embry Law Firm, you can fight back against these injuries and get the compensation and justice you deserve. Through a premises liability claim, you can pursue compensation for both monetary and non-monetary losses. The value of your losses will be determined through a careful investigation by our Atlanta premises liability lawyers.

Who is Responsible for Premises Liability Injuries?

Property owners are legally required to exercise reasonable care and safety precautions in order to keep visitors safe. If you file a premises liability claim, you must be able to prove that the property owner neglected to exercise reasonable care, or was otherwise negligent. To do so, you must prove:

• The property was unsafe, hazardous, or dangerous
• The property owner knew there was a hazard, or should have known
• The property owner did not fix the hazard or warn visitors the hazard existed
• Your injuries were caused by the hazard
• Your injuries resulted in financial or other losses

If you can prove these elements in your claim, then the property owner will be considered negligent and liable for your injuries.
In some cases, more parties than just the property owner may be held liable for injuries. Sometimes a contractor, vendor, property manager, tenant, security guard or other parties can also be held liable if they too were negligent.
