Evans Georgia and the Liability of landlords

For the owner to be responsible for the injuries you suffered from slipping or tripping and falling on someone elses property, one of the following should be true:
• The owner of the premises or an employee must have caused the spill, worn or torn spot, or other slippery or dangerous surface or item to be underfoot.
• The owner of the premises or an employee must have known of the dangerous surface but did nothing about it.
• The owner of the premises or an employee must have known of the dangerous surface since a “reasonable” person taking care of the property would have found out and removed or repaired it.
Responsibility in such cases is usually determined by common sense. Judges decide if the owner or occupier of property was careful by deciding if the actions the owner or occupier took to make the property safe were reasonable.
In determining a property owners “reasonableness,” the law pays attention on if the owner makes regular and thorough efforts to keep the property safe and clean.

In order to show that a property owner knew of a dangerous condition, it must be established that:
• The owner created the condition;
• The owner knew the condition existed and negligently failed to repair it; or
• The condition existed for such a length of time that the owner must have discovered and repaired it prior to the slip and fall incident in question.
