Atlanta property owners must ensure their property is free of hazards or notify others about any temporary hazards on the property. When a property owner is neglectful, other people, like pedestrians, can get hurt. These people are not responsible for the harm done to them.
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 premises liability lawyer from Kaine Law can help you establish the property owner’s liability and negotiate your settlement with their insurer.
What Damages Can I Claim for My Atlanta Premises Liability Settlement?
As the victim of a personal injury incident, you have the right to claim the damages you’re experiencing due to the incident. These damages could be the physical damages you’re suffering and the financial damages you’re incurring. 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 in your case and file your claim or lawsuit against them. Your lawyer will also help you list all your damages, which may include:
- Pain and suffering
- Mental suffering
- Medical expenses and related expenses
- Lost wages
- Any personal property costs
Wrongful Death Damages
Some people do not survive their premises liability accident. If someone in your family did not survive 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

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 can also prove the other party was negligent and is liable in your case. Your lawyer will 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 caused the incident)
- Damages (your losses)
Your lawyer could prove the other party was negligent by:
- Keeping hazardous clutter on the property
- Letting their dog roam free on their open property
- Leaving a slippery substance on the ground
- Not maintaining recreational equipment
- Not addressing customer complaints of premises liability

Negotiating Your Atlanta Premises Liability Settlement
To resolve your case, your lawyer will attempt to negotiate a settlement with the insurer. Many insurers are easy to work with, but others aren’t.
In your case, the insurer may refuse to negotiate in good faith or refuse to settle at all, but your lawyer will have ways of dealing with these issues.
Litigating for a Court Verdict
Sometimes, negotiations fall through. If this happens in your case, your lawyer won’t hesitate to litigate. Your lawyer will take the case to court, bring your case before a judge, and fight for a court verdict. Your lawyer can even bring in witnesses or experts who can offer invaluable testimonies for your case.
