Atlanta property owners, building managers, and tenants must ensure their property is free of hazards or notify others about any dangerous conditions on the property. When a property owner is neglectful, other people, like pedestrians, can get hurt. These injury victims are not responsible for the harm done to them nor covering the costs of medical treatment for their injuries.
Our Atlanta premises liability lawyers can help. If you or a family member suffered harm on someone else’s property, you can hold the property owner to account for their negligence and your injuries. An Atlanta personal injury lawyer from Kaine Law can help you establish the property owner’s liability and negotiate your settlement with their insurer. Call us today for your free case consultation.
What Damages Can You Claim for Your Atlanta Premises Liability Settlement?
As the victim of a personal injury incident, you have the right to claim the damages you are experiencing due to an accident on another’s property. Medical costs are often the greatest damages accident victims face, suffering from a wide range of injuries, such as:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones
- Burns
- Muscle sprains and strains
Your losses could be the physical injuries you are suffering and the financial losses you are incurring while you recover. You can claim them through a personal injury claim or lawsuit against the responsible party.
An Atlanta premises liability lawyer from our firm can help you identify the responsible party and hazardous conditions in your case so that you can file your claim or lawsuit against them. Your personal injury attorney will help you list all your losses, which may include these common types of damages:
- Pain and suffering
- Mental suffering
- Medical expenses and related expenses
- Lost wages
- Any personal property costs
We will handle filing your demands with the insurance companies while you recover from your injuries.
Wrongful Death Damages
Some people do not survive their premises liability accident. If someone in your family passed away as a result of their accident, you can file a wrongful death lawsuit against the liable party and demand other damages, such as:
- Your deceased family member’s pain before passing
- Your mental suffering
- Any unresolved medical expenses
- Lost income for your family
- Loss of love and related losses
Please accept our condolences on your loss. We understand the tragedy you and your family are dealing with and want to help. Whether your loved one passed away in an apartment complex in Buckhead or due to negligent security in a parking lot downtown, we will represent your family and pursue the maximum compensation possible.

Negligence in an Atlanta Premises Liability Case
It can be hard to tell whether another party was negligent in a premises liability case. However, Kaine Law’s premises liability lawyers can identify negligence by finding evidence in a case. In your case, the evidence may be:
- Footage from an onsite security camera
- Photos of the property
- Logs showing an employee’s work activity
- Logs showing prior customer complaints
- Reports of a dog owner’s prior negligence
- Reports detailing prior equipment maintenance
- Bills for the medical services you received
Your lawyer will prove the other party was negligent and is liable in your case. We would work to establish the elements of negligence, which are:
- Duty of care (the party’s responsibility to act carefully)
- Breach of duty (irresponsible action)
- Causation (the action that caused the incident)
- Damages (your losses)
Our attorney could prove the other party was negligent by:
- Tripping hazards: Keeping hazardous clutter on the property
- Uneven or wet flooring: Leaving a slippery substance on the ground
- Dog bites: Letting their dog roam free on their open property
- Swimming pool accidents: Not maintaining recreational equipment
- Poor lighting: Not addressing customer complaints of dark areas on a property
- Inadequate security: Allowing criminal activity on the property
- Elevator and escalator malfunction: Missing steps, gaps, and broken handrails
- Chemical exposure: Poorly stored toxic substances
- Faulty fire safety measures: Extinguishers and alarms not maintained
Premises liability law states that, if a property manager or owner does not take reasonable care to maintain the property to common-sense standards, and if someone else suffers due to this negligence, the accident survivor (or their family) has the right to seek damages. The legal team at Kaine Law can help you do so.

Negotiating Your Atlanta Premises Liability Settlement
To resolve your case, our premises liability attorney may attempt to negotiate a settlement with the insurer. Many insurers are easy to work with, but others are not.
In your case, the insurer may refuse to negotiate in good faith or refuse to settle at all, but a legal representative from our firm has ways of dealing with these issues.
Litigating for a Court Verdict
Sometimes, negotiations fall through. If this happens in your case, we would not hesitate to litigate. Your lawyer could take the case to court, bring your case before a judge, and fight for a court verdict. Our team can even bring in witnesses or experts who can offer invaluable testimonies for your case.
With luck, the fact that we are willing to go to court might convince the insurer to start negotiating. If not, we are not afraid to take premises liability claims all the way to trial.
