What to do after a premises liability in Georgia

  1. Get medical attention immediately. Even if symptoms seem minor — adrenaline masks injuries, and a 24- to 48-hour gap in care is the first thing insurers attack.
  2. Report and document. File a police or incident report. Take photos. Get witness names and contact info. Save every document.
  3. Don’t talk to the other side’s insurer. Their adjuster is paid to minimize what you receive. Politely decline recorded statements until you speak with an attorney.
  4. Get a free case review. The earlier an attorney is involved, the better evidence is preserved and the stronger the claim.

Atlanta premises liability FAQ

What’s the difference between invitee, licensee, and trespasser?
Invitees (customers, business guests) are owed the highest duty; licensees (social guests) lower; trespassers the lowest. Status changes the standard.
What is negligent security?
When a business knows or should know about prior crimes and fails to take reasonable precautions — leading to an assault or robbery on its premises.
What if I was a trespasser?
Limited claims, but children can sometimes recover under the attractive-nuisance doctrine (swimming pools, abandoned equipment).
How important is the accident report?
Critical — it locks in the property owner’s knowledge. Always report the injury in writing and ask for a copy.
