Navigating the complexities of premises liability in Georgia can be daunting without the right guidance. At Steven N.

With over seven years of substantive litigation experience, our founding attorney, Steven Newton, has built a reputation for aggressively representing our clients to ensure they receive the justice and compensation they deserve.

What is Premises Liability?

Premises liability refers to the legal responsibility of property owners to ensure their premises are reasonably safe for visitors. This includes addressing potential hazards that could lead to accidents or injuries. In Georgia, the nature of the visitor’s presence on the property (invitee, licensee, or trespasser) significantly influences the duty of care owed by the property owner.

Key Aspects of Premises Liability in Georgia

Georgia law stipulates that property owners must exercise ordinary care in keeping their premises and approaches safe for invitees. The responsibility towards licensees and trespassers varies, with minimal duties owed to trespassers. However, complexities arise in determining the classification of a visitor and the level of care required, which is where legal expertise becomes invaluable.

Steven N. Newton, LLC is adept at navigating these complexities, ensuring that our clients’ rights are vigorously defended. Our approach involves:

  • Thorough Investigation: We meticulously investigate the circumstances surrounding your accident to establish the property owner’s negligence.
  • Expert Witnesses: Utilizing testimony from industry experts, we bolster the strength of your claim, demonstrating how the negligence led to your injuries.
  • Negotiation and Litigation: Our team is skilled in negotiation, striving for a fair settlement outside of court. However, if necessary, Steven Newton, with his extensive litigation experience, is prepared to take your case to trial to fight for your rights.

Common Premises Liability Cases

Premises liability encompasses a wide range of incidents, including but not limited to:

  • Slip and fall accidents
  • Inadequate maintenance of the premises
  • Defective conditions on the property
  • Inadequate security leading to assault or injury

Each case presents its unique challenges and requires a tailored legal strategy to effectively address the specific nuances.
