Slip and fall, premises liability, dog bites, pedestrian, bicycle and motorcycle injuries.
Commercial vehicle work is the centre of this practice. It is not the whole of it.
The legal question in almost every injury case is the same one. Did somebody owe you a duty of reasonable care, did they fall short of it, and did that cause your injury. The facts change. The question does not.
A grocery store that left a spill for forty minutes. A landlord who ignored a broken step. A dog owner who knew the dog had bitten before. Different stories, same analysis.
What changes is the proof. Premises cases turn on notice, meaning what the property owner knew and when they knew it. That evidence disappears quickly, which is why these cases are made or lost in the first few weeks.
In Georgia a property owner is generally responsible for an injury caused by a hazard if the owner knew about it, or should have known about it, and you did not.
That single sentence explains why these cases live or die on evidence that vanishes. Surveillance footage gets overwritten, often within thirty days. Incident reports get filed and forgotten. The employee who mopped the floor leaves the job. Sweep logs and maintenance records exist right up until nobody asks for them.
The first letter that goes out on a premises case is a demand to preserve that evidence. Sent early, it changes what the case looks like a year later. Sent late, it is a formality.
Georgia applies modified comparative negligence. If you are found partly responsible for what happened, your recovery is reduced by your share, and if you are found fifty percent or more responsible you recover nothing.
Defendants know that rule and they use it. In a fall case the argument is almost always that you should have seen the hazard. That does not mean the case is bad. It means it has to be built with that argument in mind from the first day rather than answered for the first time at a deposition.
Some matters are outside what I handle. Workers' compensation, criminal defence, family law, most employment claims.
If you call about one of those, I will tell you on the first call and point you toward someone who does that work. It costs you nothing and it beats guessing from a search result.
