A dangerous condition on someone else’s property can cause traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), lacerations, and even worse, catastrophic injuries to unsuspecting visitors leading to permanent disability or disfigurement. Such incidents and injuries deserve immediate legal attention.
Slip and fall accidents, exposure to hazardous chemicals, roof collapse, fires, and floods…it only takes one negligent business owner to injure or kill others.
Georgia has specific laws in place regarding incidents that happen on another person’s or business' property. A premises liability claim can result in compensation for lost wages, medical costs, and pain and suffering.

What should you do
after a premises liability incident?
Premises liability cases can be complicated. You need to react quickly, or the accident scene may change, and evidence to your case may disappear.
There are several steps you should take:
- Make an event report and report the incident to the correct authorities.
- Take pictures and documentation of the scene: The location, the reason behind the incident, time of day, etc.
You need to prove there was a hazard that you simply weren’t aware of once you entered that area while proving the owner or manager was aware.
- Get immediate medical aid and be sure to attend any follow-up appointments!
Contact Bert Brock Law Group as soon as possible after the incident.
Remember, the longer you wait, the less likely you are to receive maximum compensation.
