Homeowners and store owners have a responsibility to their guests to uphold a safe environment. Unfortunately, accidents happen and people are hurt or injured. If an accident occurs and it was caused by a person’s negligence, a premises liability case can be filed.

Contact our firm today for a free consultation with an experienced Macon premises liability lawyer.

Here are several examples of premises liability lawsuits:

Defective Furniture & Flooring

Cracked flooring or unstable furniture often causes injuries that result in medical care. This might occur in someone’s home, a store, or the workplace.

Falling Merchandise

If merchandise is placed beyond an arm’s reach, it has the potential to be hazardous. To be safe, ask an employee to reach for merchandise to ensure that a product does not fall and hurt you.

Inadequate Lighting

Some businesses neglect the importance of outside lighting. It is critical that the outside of a building has proper lighting to increase safety. Often, slip and fall accidents are due to poorly-lit areas.

Negligent or Overly Aggressive Security

A mugging or assault can happen even though security is present. If this is the case, the security officer may have been neglecting his duties. Other accidents occur due to overly-aggressive security personnel. Incidents may include false accusation or excessive force.

Slip/Trip & Fall Accidents

Slip/trip and fall accidents are among the most common accidents concerning premises liability. Many of these accidents are caused by uneven ground and wet floors.

Swimming Pool Accidents

Swimming pool accidents range from drowning, near drowning, improperly trained lifeguards, negligent lifeguards, inadequate signs, diving board accidents, and more.
