We had a client fall at their neighbor’s house in Georgia on defective steps. That client asked us who is responsible for her injuries as a result of these defective steps in Georgia. If you’re reading this, you may have similar questions. It’s important to start with what is the defect and who had knowledge of the defect. It’s also important to analyze whether the renter had renter’s insurance. Potential defendants or potential recovery sources would be the renter if they had knowledge of the defective steps and whether they had renter’s insurance. Another source of recovery or potential defendant would be the landlord and if the landlord had knowledge of the defective steps. It’s important to find an attorney and hire an attorney that has experience with defective premises and step cases. Find an attorney that has access to engineers and architects that can analyze the steps and determine whether they’re up to city, county, or state code or whether they’re up to engineering standards or architectural standards. If you have any questions involving defective steps, please feel free to give us a call. We’d be happy to help.
