Atlanta Premises Liability Lawyer

Experienced Attorney for Dangerous Property Lawsuits

Property owners have a legal responsibility to people who come on to their properties to keep the premises reasonably safe. This legal theory is known as premises liability. The extent of the legal duty depends on the type of property and on whether the visitor is on the premises for business reasons or social reasons or is trespassing.

Generally, property owners have a legal duty to repair or warn of known hazards. Owners who have certain types of especially dangerous property, such as swimming pools, have more specific legal duties to help prevent injuries.

Georgia Negligent Security Claim Attorney

If a company knows that its premises have been the site of assaults in the past and does nothing to help prevent future assaults, then it may be possible for an assault victim to hold the company legally responsible by a theory known as negligent security.

Mr. Goldner has extensive experience successfully litigating negligent security claims on behalf of assault victims.

Georgia Swimming Pool Accident Lawyer

Swimming pool accident lawsuits can proceed under a number of different theories of liability. A property owner could be held legally responsible for an accident or drowning in a swimming pool in situations like the following:

• A hotel, resort or community pool fails to post sufficient warnings regarding lifeguard hours or other poolside hazards or fails to provide working safety equipment
• Signs indicating pool depths are not accurate or are not displayed
• A pool owner knows that the pool drain is the subject of a safety recall, but fails to install a different pool drain in a timely fashion, and a visitor suffers a swimming pool drain injury as a result
• The host of a children's party fails to adequately supervise children using the swimming pool, and a drowning or near-drowning occurs due to negligent supervision
