What Is a Parking Lot or Sidewalk Fall Injury Claim?<\/h2>\n

A premises liability claim arises when you’re injured on someone else’s property due to an unsafe condition that the owner failed to maintain or warn about.<\/p>\n

Parking lot and sidewalk falls fall into this category. They involve falls caused by hazardous conditions: potholes, uneven surfaces, cracks in concrete, debris, water, ice, snow, poor lighting, or missing handrails. These aren’t simple accidents\u2014they require proof that the property owner or manager was negligent.<\/p>\n

Common locations include retail parking lots, apartment complex parking areas, office building entrances, shopping center sidewalks, restaurant parking areas, and grocery store lots. In each case, the property owner has a legal duty to maintain the area safely.<\/p>\n

\n

Who Can File a Parking Lot or Sidewalk Fall Claim in Georgia?<\/h2>\n

You can file a claim if you were lawfully on the property when you fell and suffered injury as a result of a hazardous condition the owner failed to address.<\/p>\n

You don’t need to have been a paying customer. Visitors, guests, and people invited onto the property can pursue claims. What matters is that you had permission to be there\u2014you weren’t trespassing.<\/p>\n

If you were an employee injured on the property, you may have a workers’ compensation claim instead of or in addition to a premises liability claim. We can advise you on which path applies to your situation.<\/p>\n

The property owner or manager must have failed to maintain the property safely or warn of known hazards. That failure is what creates their liability.<\/p>\n
