Premises liability in Rockdale County is a claim that a property owner failed to keep the property reasonably safe, and a person was seriously hurt because of it. Georgia law asks whether the owner used ordinary care. This guide explains how that works for people hurt in Rockdale County and Conyers, what proof matters, and what to do first.<\/p>\n

What Premises Liability Means Under Georgia Law<\/h2>\n

Premises liability<\/a> is a claim that an owner or occupier failed to keep property safe for people who came there lawfully. The main rule is in O.C.G.A. \u00a7 51-3-1<\/a>. An owner who invites people onto the property must use ordinary care to keep the premises and approaches safe.<\/p>\n

Whether a property owner is responsible for an injury depends on the facts of each case. That means that where an owner or occupier, by express or implied invitation, induces or leads others to come upon the premises for any lawful purpose, the injured person must show the owner’s failure to exercise ordinary care in keeping the premises and approaches safe caused the injury.<\/p>\n

How long was the spill there? Did staff walk past the broken step all day? Those facts often decide whether the owner had notice.<\/p>\n

Your status on the property matters too. Shoppers and customers are people who come onto a business’s property for a visit. Someone who enters without permission is a trespasser, and the duty rules are different.<\/p>\n\n
