What are the common causes of apartment accidents in Georgia?

There are a number of ways that apartment accidents can occur. However, the majority of these injuries are a result of landlord negligence. In Georgia, landlords who rent their properties out to tenants are lawfully bound to make sure that their apartments are safe to live in. In most instances, landlords abide by this duty and care for the well-being of their tenants, however, unfortunately, other landlords may not, resulting in injuries. Fortunately, so long as you can demonstrate that you were injured as a direct result of your landlord’s actions/inaction, there is a very high likelihood that you will have a valid premises liability claim. Some of the most common causes of apartment accidents include the following:

• Neglecting to make sure any playgrounds on the premises is safe
• Failing to remove weather-related hazards timely
• Failing to ensure smoke/carbon monoxide detectors are installed
• Failing to maintain apartment elevators/stairwells
• Unsafe apartment parking lot or sidewalk conditions

Can I recover damages for my injuries?

If you were injured in an apartment accident and would like to pursue legal action, do not wait to reach out to a skilled attorney today to help you obtain compensation. In Georgia, there are two kinds of financial compensation: economic damages and non-economic damages. Economic damages refer to the financial cost of your injury, while non-economic damages deal with the emotional toll your accident took on you. With non-economic damages, our firm can help you pursue legal action for emotional distress, pain and suffering, and more.

What is the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Georgia?

Personal injury claims are time-sensitive in Georgia. This is because the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Georgia is two years, which means that you should not wait more than two years from the date of your accident to pursue legal action against your landlord. In the event that you fail to file within the time frame, you will lose the opportunity to file your claim entirely. Reach out to our firm today to ensure you meet each of your claim’s important deadlines.
