Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prove the property owner was negligent?
+We show the owner knew or should have known about the hazard through reasonable inspection and failed to fix it or warn visitors, using maintenance records, prior complaints, and photos.
What if I was partly at fault for my fall?
+Georgia's comparative negligence rule still allows you to recover as long as you're less than 50% at fault, though your award is reduced by your share of responsibility.
What if there were no warning signs posted?
+The absence of warning signs can support your claim, especially if the property knew about the hazard and failed to address or flag it.
