Know Your Rights in Georgia
Under Georgia premises liability law (GA Code § 51-3-1), property owners must use “ordinary care” to keep their premises safe for invited guests. If a hazardous condition caused your injury due to the owner’s negligence, you have the right to pursue a legal claim for compensation.
Georgia uses a modified comparative negligence system — you can recover damages as long as you are less than 50% at fault.
Deadline: You generally have 2 years from the accident date to file a lawsuit. If the property is government-owned, deadlines shrink to as little as 6 months.
Take these critical steps:
- 📍 Get medical attention right away
- 📝 Report the incident to the manager and request documentation
- 📸 Take photos of the scene, hazards, and injuries
- 👥 Collect witness names and contact info
- 🧾 Preserve clothing/shoes as evidence
- 🛑 Don’t admit fault or speculate
Preserving evidence early is essential to protect your rights.
Some of the most common conditions that result in valid slip & fall claims include:
- 🚫 Wet/slippery floors without signs
- ⚠️ Uneven flooring, broken stairs, or potholes
- 💡 Poor lighting in high-traffic areas
- 🪤 Obstacles or clutter in walkways
- 🌧️ Untreated weather hazards like snow or ice
The key is proving the owner knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to take action.
Government property claims must be filed in as little as 6–12 months.
Evidence deteriorates quickly — surveillance footage is often deleted in 30 days, hazardous conditions get repaired, and memories fade. The sooner you act, the stronger your case becomes.
No Risk, No Worries
Attorney Ken Nugent works on a contingency fee basis, which means:
- ✅ No upfront costs
- ✅ No hidden fees
- ✅ No payment unless we win
Your initial consultation is 100% free and confidential, so there’s zero financial risk in learning your legal options. We believe money should never be a barrier to justice.
Georgia law uses a modified comparative negligence rule. You can still recover compensation if you’re less than 50% at fault.
✅ Example: If you are found to be 30% at fault, you can still recover 70% of your damages.
Never assume you’re ineligible — we evaluate every case carefully. Even cases with shared fault can result in significant compensation.
Insurance companies are not on your side. Their goal is to minimize payouts — not protect your health or future.
They often offer low, fast settlements before you understand the full cost of your injuries. That’s why it’s crucial to get a professional evaluation of your case first.
Since your consultation is free and you pay nothing unless we win, there’s zero risk in learning your case’s true value before accepting anything.
