PREMISES LIABILITY

Have you ever slipped and fell while shopping at a grocery store or tripped over something that was left out on the floor while you were at a hardware store?  In so many cases, innocent shoppers are injured by the negligence of store owners who fail to maintain and clean their stores.  These stores and other owners of property can be held liable for their negligence under what is generally called “Premises Liability.”  

In Georgia, premises liability cases can be difficult due to laws that have been developed through the years that favored the owners and operators of stores and other types of commercial and residential properties. For years, these laws favored the store owners, but through the diligence and hard work of law firms such as The Brosnahan Law Firm, these cases can now be won, and injured customers can receive just compensation for injuries that they sustain through no fault of their own.  

The Brosnahan Law Firm has not only been successful in assisting individuals who have slipped and fell at their local grocery and department stores, but other types of commercial establishments as well.  For example, if you are injured in your apartment due to the failure of your landlord to remedy problems with your ceiling, floors, etc., you may be entitled to compensation.  Or, if you have been hurt due to a lack of security in areas where there should be security, you may be entitled to compensation.  Our dedicated lawyers can assist you if you have been injured at commercially owned premises such as:

  • Apartments

  • Grocery Stores

  • Department Stores

  • Museums

  • Amusement Parks

  • Recreational and Public Parks

  • Hotels

A couple of real examples will demonstrate what The Brosnahan Law Firm can do for you if you are injured on the property of others.  One of The Brosnahan Law Firm’s clients was injured when her ceiling collapsed after she pulled the string on her ceiling lamp due to water problems of which the client complained for months.  Due to the efforts of The Brosnahan Law Firm, the apartment building owner settled the case for a significant sum before even having to file a law suit.   In another case, a caterer was severely injured when part of a garage door fell on her when she was entering the commercial client for whom she was catering.  Within a couple of months of filing suit on behalf of Ken’s client, the commercial entity settled the case for hundreds of thousands of dollars.  These are but two examples of many where Ken has helped individuals who have been injured on the property of others.
