Our Premises Liability Lawyers Are Dedicated to Their Clients
Demanding damages from a negligent party is not simple. Winning settlements or jury verdicts in premises liability cases takes a determined attorney who is willing to fight for their client.
We’ve been fighting for our clients since 2008. In the last 14 years, we’ve collected millions of dollars in damages for them, including a $300,000 premises liability case that another attorney was willing to settle for $35,000. Our founder, Seth Bader, used to represent insurance companies. This experience has given him critical knowledge of how insurance companies operate.
Seth is also a member of the Million-Dollar Advocates Forum, which is a prestigious group of attorneys who have collected settlements or judgments of more than $1,000,000 for their clients. It doesn’t mean we collect a million dollars in every case for every client, but it does mean we know how to take on insurers and win for our clients.

Simply being injured while visiting a public or private property is not enough for you to demand damages from the owner or operator of that space. If you wish to make a demand for damages, the first thing you must do is prove that negligence was the cause of your injury. Negligence is a legal term that references a lack of care or concern by someone that causes another to suffer an injury.
Georgia has a four-part legal test that must be met before you can demand damages. That standard begins with a “duty of care”, which means any person, private business or public entity that operates a premise has a duty to make sure their premises are safe for workers or visitors. When they fail to meet this requirement, they have breached the duty of care.
The final elements of Georgia’s negligence standard are damage and causation. You must show that the breach of their duty of care not only took place but also caused your injury. Last, you must prove that these injuries caused you to endure damages, such as financial and/or emotional harm. Our premises liability attorneys have decades of combined experience helping our clients meet this standard and collecting over $30,000,000 in damages for them in the process.
What Can a Premises Liability Lawyer Do for You?
We’ll take care of every part of your case while you recover from your injuries and work to get your life back to where it was before your injury. You won’t have to negotiate against yourself when a liability insurer offers you a lowball settlement because we’ll do the negotiating for you. If those negotiations don’t lead to a settlement that is commensurate with your injuries, we can handle the next phase of your case.
Our team will interview witnesses and collect evidence on your behalf while making sure that any necessary paperwork is properly filed with the courts. Throughout the process, we will be responsive to your needs and update you on the progress we’re making in your case.
We know you’re going through a tough time if you’ve been hurt on someone else’s premises, and your injuries are severe enough that you’re demanding damages. We want to make exercising your right to demand compensation from negligent parties as easy as possible.

What Damages Can Be Demanded in Premises Liability Cases?
Georgia allows victims of negligence to collect two separate types of damages in premises liability cases:
- Economic Damages (e.g., medical bills, lost wages, physical therapy)
- Non-economic damages (e.g., pain and suffering, lost quality of life, mental stress)
Your economic damages are the sum of all the expenses you incurred because of your accident. Calculating non-economic damages is a little bit more of a complex equation because the level of pain and suffering accident victims endure ranges widely from case to case. However, an experienced premises liability attorney from our firm can work with you to reach a number that reflects your degree of suffering.

Who Is Liable in Duluth Premises Liability Cases?
No matter what type of premises you were hurt visiting, the property owner will always shoulder the responsibility for what takes place on their property. That’s because the second they opened the space up to the public or invited you inside, their duty of care to maintain safe premises was in effect. However, there are many cases where liability extends to more people than just the owner.
If the property was being rented or operated by a management company, the tenant and the property manager may also be liable for your losses. With that said, it doesn’t matter to us who or how many parties acted negligently in your case. Our attorneys will identify them all through our evidence-gathering process and hold them all accountable for you.
You Have a Limited Amount of Time to Demand Damages
The law only gives you a limited amount of time to demand damages in a premises liability case. This time is known as the statute of limitations, and in Georgia, it is two years from the date of your accident. Failure to demand damages before the end of the statute of limitations could result in the forfeiture of your right to demand compensation. Our premises liability lawyers will make sure your case is properly filed.
