Even rest and relaxation can be dangerous. Vacation and warm weather accidents take place when you least expect it and you can find yourself on holiday dealing with Georgia premises liability injuries http://www.langleylee.com/georgia-personal-injury/premises-liability or even a death on someone else’s property, from a hotel pool drowning or gas grill burn to a bicycle crash or ATV accident.
Whether you get a community park barbecue burn due to a defective grill, you experience a slip and fall in Macon http://www.langleylee.com/georgia-personal-injury/slip-and-fall on a neighbor’s slippery poolside path, or have shopping mall broken bones after tripping in a cluttered store aisle-it’s the city, neighbor and storeowner, respectively, who is mostly likely liable for personal injuries or fatalities that occur.
The understanding but tough Macon, Georgia, personal injury lawyers at Langley & Lee, LLC hope everyone heading out this summer remembers that whoever owns the property on which you are injured must have some form of premises liability insurance. It is a property owner’s responsibility to cover medical costs, loss of income or other financial hardship that results from someone being injured on their premises. Landowners insurance companies are often difficult to deal with, however, and a good premises liability or slip and fall attorney is usually needed to defend the plaintiff.
According to the Centers For Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), some of the most dangerous warm weather injuries occur in water activity accidents-people can drown in pools, oceans, rivers and lakes, and age is a key factor. The CDC’s report on unintentional drowning shows that people of different ages statistically drown in different types of locations.
Most kids from age 1 – 4 drown in private swimming pools, and the number of drownings in lakes, rivers and oceans increases with age. More than half fatal and non-fatal drownings among those 15 years and older occur in natural water settings.
