Premises liability cases can be complicated whether you suffered injuries on public or private property. You don’t have to handle your case alone, though. You have the right to hire an attorney who can handle your case and navigate an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit.
At Kaine Law, our Covington personal injury lawyers advocate for accident victims and their families by helping them seek compensation. We can identify a liable party and gather evidence of your losses so that we pursue the damages you deserve.
Compensation Our Covington Premises Liability Attorneys Can Fight For
Premises liability cases can involve a variety of incidents, such as slip and fall accidents. Injuries from a fall can be devastating, especially for older adults, according to Mayo Clinic. You may be facing a lifetime of medical care, wondering how you are going to afford it. On top of that, you may have missed a substantial amount of work.
You can seek compensation for these types of losses, along with various other forms of compensation, such as:
- The cost of emergency medical care, diagnostic testing, surgeries, and hospitalizations
- Physical rehabilitation
- In-home aid
- Reduced earning capacity if you can no longer earn your pre-injury income
- Pain and suffering
- Scarring and disfigurement
Our Covington premises liability lawyers can assess your losses and compile your medical bills, wage statements, and other documents that prove them. We will make sure to account for all your current and future losses to ensure that we seek fair financial recovery. This way, you will not be left footing the bill down the road due to someone else’s negligence.
You Can Recover Wrongful Death Damages If Your Loved One Passed Away
It’s possible for fall injuries to be fatal, especially for older adults. If you lost a loved one in such an incident, our Covington wrongful death lawyers can seek awards for funeral expenses, loss of income, and your loved one’s accident-related medical bills.
You should be able to grieve your family member in peace without stressing yourself out over a case. We can offer compassionate legal care and fight for compensation that can help your family adjust during this difficult time.

Our Covington Premises Liability Lawyers Can Help You Establish Negligence
After we investigate the cause and contributing factors in your premises liability case, we will get to work establishing the negligence of a property owner or any other involved party. There may even be multiple liable parties, which can complicate a case.
Potentially liable parties can include:
- A property owner
- A business owner or manager
- A government entity
- A third party
With our personal injury attorneys on your side, you don’t have to worry about establishing negligence, though. We can help compile an evidence file that demonstrates the following four elements.
Duty of Care
Property owners in Georgia have a responsibility to keep invitees reasonably safe from hazards that could cause injury, according to O.C.G.A. § 51-3-1. Invitees include guests and patrons invited onto the property. Even if your accident occurred in a parking lot, the business owner may be liable.
Breach of Duty
In a premises liability claim, you have to demonstrate that the property owner either knew or should have known about an existing hazard and failed to address it in a timely manner. In other words, if they took longer than a reasonable person would have to fix it or place warning signs around it, they are likely to be found negligent.
For example, a spill in an aisle of a grocery store should not go unattended for more than what the courts deem a reasonable amount of time. Similarly, boxes should never be unattended in a walk space. These are hazards that can cause a slip and fall accident.
Causation
You will also have to show that the hazard directly caused or contributed to your accident. Evidence that can help us prove that includes:
- The incident report
- Your medical records
- Eyewitness statements
- Relevant photos
- Video surveillance footage
If any other parties are involved, we can work to show their percentage of fault and seek appropriate compensation.
Damages
Finally, we can help you prove the connection between the accident on the premise and your injuries. We can also show that your injuries cost you both financially and emotionally.

Our Premises Liability Team Works on a Contingency-Fee Basis
We understand that you are already facing overwhelming financial strain due to your accident injuries. You shouldn’t have to take on the mounting medical bills and lost income due to someone else’s negligence. We are here to help, not add to the problem.
That’s why we take premises liability cases on contingency. This payment arrangement means we do not charge upfront fees to start your case. You will not have to pay us an hourly fee, either. We simply take a percentage of your potential compensation, and we do not collect our payment until your case concludes.
A contingency-fee basis also allows us to begin working on your case immediately and avoid missing the deadline established in O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. In general, you have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit in Georgia. The sooner you begin your case, the better we can protect your right to pursue a verdict.
