Who Is Responsible for a Premises Liability Accident?

Financial responsibility for a premises liability injury will rest with the individual or entity who owns or was in control of the property where your accident occurred. To secure compensation, you must prove that the liable party acted negligently by demonstrating the following:

  1. Duty of care: Property owners generally have a duty of care to those legally on a property. This duty requires that owners, managers, and tenants keep the property in a reasonably safe condition.
  2. Breach of duty: A property owner breaches the duty of care when they know (or should know) about an unsafe condition and fail to remedy it or warn visitors about the hazard.
  3. Causation: Causation proves that the breach led to your injury. For example, our attorney may show that a broken floorboard caused you to trip and break your leg, which would not have happened if the floors were properly maintained.
  4. Damages: Damages prove that your injury caused you economic losses and pain and suffering.

How We Build Your Columbus Premises Liability Case

Attorney Dwayne Brown has 30 years of legal experience he can put behind building an effective premises liability claim. He and his staff can do the following to support you and your case:

  • Investigate your accident: Our Columbus premises liability attorney can visit the accident scene and determine what caused your injury and who is at fault. We can collect evidence, including police reports or official incident reports, photographs and video of the scene, surveillance footage of the accident, eyewitness testimony, medical records, and reports from doctors, accident reconstruction specialists, and other experts when needed.
  • Aggressively negotiate on your behalf: You should not have to pay for someone else’s mistakes. We can stand up to liable parties, insurance providers, and attorneys and aggressively fight for the maximum compensation possible. We can handle all case-related communications, protect you from bad-faith tactics, and safeguard you from pressure to accept a lower settlement than you deserve. If necessary, we will not back down from taking your case to trial to get full and fair awards.
  • Put your best interests first: At our law firm, it’s not about the lawyer; it’s about the client. We care about your health and frequently check in with you about your physical and mental well-being. We recommend getting secondary medical opinions and can put you in touch with physicians and psychologists. We want our clients to feel empowered with knowledge, so we will ensure you understand the legal process and provide prompt and current case updates.

Our client-first approach has yielded over $100 million in settlements and verdicts. In addition, Attorney Brown has won numerous awards for his legal services, including a top attorney rating from Super Lawyers, recognition from the National Trial Lawyers Top 100, and Martindale-Hubbell® AV Preeminent Rating.

What is the Statute of Limitations for Premises Liability in Georgia?

According to O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33, the statute of limitations for filing most personal injury or wrongful death lawsuits with the Muscogee County courthouse is two years. However, if your premises liability accident occurred on city, state, or county property, you may have as little as six months to one year to pursue a lawsuit.

In general, getting started on your claim as soon as possible is a good idea. Acting quickly allows our legal team to collect and preserve evidence. Prompt filing of insurance claims also ensures we meet policy deadlines and have the longest window possible to negotiate a settlement before we must take legal action.
