People often suffer injuries on other people’s property. These injuries may be caused by a number of factors that are out of their control. Every property owner has a duty to ensure that his or her property is maintained in a reasonably safe manner. I represent people who were injured because of a dangerous property condition, such as wet floors or defective stairs.

I help people throughout Georgia file claims against negligent property owners whose actions injured innocent people. If you have been injured in a slip and fall or trip and fall accident, contact me for a free initial consultation about your case.

If  you are injured by a property condition that was either caused or not rectified by an owner, he or she may be held liable for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other out-of-pocket expenses in your premises liability claim.
