Every property owner has a duty to maintain safe conditions for guests, tenants, and visitors. When they fail to do so, serious injuries can occur — sometimes with lasting consequences.
At Rock Remson Law, our Atlanta premises liability lawyer represents people hurt on unsafe property. We help victims of slip-and-fall accidents, unsafe walkways, negligent security, and other hazards recover compensation for their injuries and losses.
If you were injured on someone else’s property in Atlanta, Buckhead, Fulton County, or Dekalb County, you don’t have to face the aftermath alone. Our firm is here to protect your rights and pursue fair results.
“Premises liability” refers to legal responsibility when an injury occurs due to unsafe conditions on property owned or controlled by another person or business.
Common unsafe-premises situations include:
Slippery floors or spills in stores or restaurants
Broken stairs, railings, or uneven flooring
Poor lighting or missing handrails
Falling objects or unsafe shelving
Negligent security at apartments, hotels, or parking lots
Unsafe swimming pools or play areas
Unmarked construction hazards
Whether the property is residential, commercial, or public, the owner must take reasonable steps to prevent predictable harm.
In Georgia, property owners owe varying duties of care depending on a visitor’s legal status:
Invitees – Customers or guests invited for business purposes. Owners must keep premises safe and warn of known dangers.
Licensees – Social guests visiting for personal reasons. Owners must avoid willful or wanton harm.
Trespassers – People on the property without permission. Owners cannot intentionally cause injury.
Most unsafe-premises claims involve invitees, where the owner failed to inspect or repair hazards in a timely manner.
Accidents caused by dangerous property conditions can lead to serious or permanent harm, such as:
Fractures or broken bones
Head and brain trauma
Back or spinal injuries
Cuts, bruises, and lacerations
Sprains and soft-tissue damage
Emotional distress or anxiety after an assault
These injuries often result in medical bills, time off work, and long-term effects on daily life — all of which should be reflected in your compensation.
To recover damages, you must prove that:
The property owner owed you a duty of care.
They breached that duty by failing to fix or warn about a hazard.
The hazard directly caused your injury.
You suffered measurable damages (medical costs, lost wages, pain, etc.).
We gather the documentation and expert testimony needed to establish each of these points and protect your claim from insurance challenges.
Georgia law generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a premises-liability claim. Waiting too long can cause evidence to disappear and weaken your case. Contacting an attorney early helps ensure timely preservation of proof and witness recollection.
Victims of unsafe premises accidents may be entitled to compensation for:
Medical expenses (emergency care, therapy, rehabilitation)
Lost income and reduced future earning ability
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress or anxiety after the incident
Permanent disability or disfigurement
Every case is unique, and we work to ensure all physical, emotional, and financial impacts are reflected in your recovery.
One of the most serious forms of premises liability involves negligent security — where property owners fail to protect visitors from foreseeable criminal acts.
Examples include inadequate lighting in parking lots, lack of security cameras, or failure to hire trained security personnel. When attacks, assaults, or robberies occur under these conditions, property owners can be held responsible for not providing reasonable protection.
Local Knowledge: Deep familiarity with Atlanta courts and insurers across Fulton and Dekalb Counties.
Detailed Investigation: We document every unsafe condition and preserve evidence quickly.
Client Communication: You’ll always be informed about your case progress.
Prepared Representation: We negotiate assertively and stand ready for trial when necessary.
Our focus is on achieving justice while giving you peace of mind through transparent, dedicated representation.
At Rock Remson Law, we follow a careful, step-by-step approach designed to build strong, evidence-based premises-liability claims.
We begin with a detailed review of your accident: where it occurred, how the injury happened, and whether the property owner had prior knowledge of the hazard. We also gather photos, videos, and witness statements when available.
Our team examines inspection logs, maintenance records, and incident reports. In negligent-security cases, we review prior criminal activity in the area and the property’s safety measures.
Once we understand the facts, we create a customized strategy to prove the owner’s negligence — showing that they knew or should have known about the danger and failed to act.
We seek fair settlements through negotiation with insurers. If a fair resolution isn’t offered, we are ready to present your case in court to fight for full compensation.
If you were injured on someone else’s property because of unsafe conditions, it’s important to understand your rights before speaking with insurance representatives.
