What Is Restaurant Premises Liability in Georgia?<\/h2>\n

Restaurant premises liability<\/a> is the legal duty a restaurant owner owes to keep the dining area, restrooms, entryways, and other common spaces reasonably safe for customers. This duty arises because you enter the restaurant as a business invitee\u2014someone invited onto the property for business purposes. The restaurant doesn’t guarantee you’ll never get hurt, but it must take reasonable steps to prevent foreseeable injuries caused by unsafe conditions the restaurant controls.<\/p>\n

Premises liability covers slip-and-fall accidents, trips over uneven flooring, injuries from falling objects, collapsing furniture, inadequate lighting that leads to accidents, and other harm caused by the restaurant’s failure to maintain safe premises or warn of known dangers. It does not cover injuries caused solely by your own carelessness\u2014for example, if you trip over your own shoelace\u2014but it does apply even if you were partly at fault, as long as the restaurant’s negligence was a substantial cause of your injury.<\/p>\n
