Premises Liability Cases In Atlanta, Georgia
Georgia’s premises liability laws cover these and other accidents on a variety of premises — including apartment complexes and construction work sites.
Property and business owners are responsible for their property upkeep, as well as repairing or remediating any dangerous conditions they know about before someone is injured. By law, they are required to begin taking care of the hazard as soon as they have been made aware of its existence. Failing to repair or remediate a hazard that leads to a fire, explosion, or other event that can cause injuries to people working or visiting the property can lead to a claim against the property or business owner.
Compensation Recoverable in Fire and Explosion Cases
Working with our team of fire and explosion lawyers can help you recover compensation to cover your losses after an accident. Victims of fires and explosions may be entitled to various forms of compensation, including:
- Medical expenses (current and future)

Georgia’s Statute of Limitations on Fire or Explosion Injury Claims
In Georgia, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases, including those involving fires and explosions, is generally two years from the date of the incident. It’s crucial to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure your rights are protected and evidence is preserved. Also, there are exceptions to the 2 year rule which may lengthen or shorten the time you have to file a lawsuit if the matter is not resolved beforehand.
