Atlanta Premises Liability Attorneys

What is Premises Liability?

Wherever you go on your daily routine should be safe from hazards. Whether that be the grocery store, your gym, or even a friend’s house, you are supposed to be protected from harm. The law says an owner of a property needs to keep their premises in a condition that is conducive to health and safety. If there are hazards due to the way they maintain their house or secure it, clean, or even keep their dogs away from people if they’re vicious, it can bring them some legal trouble. Property and landowners are required to maintain their commercial, public, and private properties in such a way that protects those who lawfully enter from reasonable injury. Premises liability law refers to cases involving an injury or death resulting from the negligence of a property owner. Our adult Atlanta premises liability attorneys at The Keenan Law Firm have successfully tried premises liability cases in more than five states.
