Property Owner Liability

Representing Property-Related Injury Victims

Have you slipped and fallen on someone else's property? Were you attacked in a building that should have been secured to keep dangerous people out? Have you been injured in any other way due to the negligence of a property owner?

If so, you may have a premises liability claim. The attorneys at the Law Office of William P. Churchill, III, P.C., can help you pursue it. Contact us at our offices in Atlanta to set up a free consultation with an experienced personal injury lawyer.

Handling All Types of Complaints Against Property Owners

Georgia premises liability law requires residential, commercial and all other property owners to take care for the safety of people who they invite or allow onto their property. Common violations of this legal duty include:

  • Slip and fall incidents: If you've been injured due to slippery or uneven conditions inside a building or on someone's sidewalk, you may be entitled to compensation.
  • Negligent security: Property owners can be held liable for assaults, batteries, sexual violence and other incidents caused by their failure to provide adequate security.
  • General negligence: Other types of negligence — such as allowing dangerous pests to enter a building — can also come under the heading of premises liability.

Most types of property are covered by some form of insurance, and the insurance company is generally responsible for defending the property owner against premises liability claims. Our attorneys are experienced at going up against insurance companies in premises liability cases.

Taking the Necessary Steps to Pursue Your Claim

Many claims against property owners can be resolved by collecting solid evidence of what happened and then presenting a demand for compensation to the insurance company supported by the evidence we have gathered. We give each case the personal attention necessary to pursue fair results.

In some cases, it is necessary to go to court to stand up for your rights to compensation. We are fully prepared to represent you at trial if required.
