How to Establish Damages in Your Conyers Premises Liability Case
Listing your damages will let you claim them, but to obtain your compensation, you’ll also have to validate them with the insurance company.

- Eyewitness statements
- Incident or accident reports

How to Establish Liability for Your Damages
You will also have to establish that the other party is, in fact, liable for your damages. To do this, you or your lawyer will have to show that the other party was negligent, which can be very difficult. It will require evidence, such as:
- The report the police made after your incident
- Any prior complaints about the other party’s property
- A log of an employee’s job activity at the time of the incident
- Reports indicating equipment on the property hasn’t been maintained
On top of all that, you or your lawyer must show each of the four elements of negligence in your case. This can be especially difficult, so you may want to leave this to your lawyer. The four elements of negligence are:
- Duty of care: This is the other party’s responsibility for your safety and well-being. In a premise liability case, this could be the relationship between a property owner and a tenant.
- Breach of duty: This is when the other party behaves irresponsibly. For example, a property owner not repairing a broken handrail on a staircase.
- Causation: The failure to take responsibility then causes an accident. Continuing the scenario, you fall down the stairs at the property when the handrail fails.
- Damages: The accident leads to tangible and intangible losses. Your fall on the staircase results in catastrophic injuries. You suffer physical pain, emotional suffering, and financial losses.

How the Other Party May Have Been Negligent
Premises liability cases are more than just slips and fall cases. Depending on the nature of your accident, the other party may have been negligent by leaving hazardous clutter or substances on their property, letting their dog roam freely on the property, failing to address complaints, or by failing in some other way.
Regardless of the circumstances, our personal injury lawyer will thoroughly investigate your accident and obtain the evidence that establishes the negligent party’s liability so that you can recover your due damages from them.

How Your Conyers Premises Liability Lawyer Will Negotiate Your Settlement
Most insurance claims are settled during negotiations, but insurance companies have many tactics for protecting themselves and their profits, such as downplaying a client’s liability and devaluing a claimant’s damages. The insurer, in your case, may employ such tactics. If they do, your lawyer won’t tolerate it. Your lawyer can threaten to sue and, if necessary, follow through on the threat.
However, negotiations likely won’t come to that. Your lawyer will negotiate in good faith and expect the insurer to do the same. If they’re cooperative, they should make a fair settlement offer that you and your lawyer will consider together.
