Harris County Georgia property owner injury lawyer

Liability of property owners in Muscogee County Georgia

Landowners, especially those that invite the public onto their premises, have an obligation under the law to use reasonable care to remove or treat slippery surfaces. Landlords usually have an obligation to repair common areas in apartment complexes. Remember that merely because the landlord has an obligation to treat the slippery surface, you as a resident can not ignore your own obligation to use caution. The landlords efforts should only be reasonable in the circumstances but not necessarily perfect. Therefore plowing, shoveling and sand/salt spreading may have small gaps which are still hazards, but does not necessarily result in negligence under the law. Reasonable also means that the landlord should have information of the slippery conditions, and time to deal with them. Merely because the landlord wasnt out spreading sand with the initial few minutes of the first snowflakes, it does not necessarily mean he was negligent. The same basic rules are applicable for store and business owners. Preventing slip and fall incidents typically needs appropriate precautions to be taken by both the landowner and the user.
