No. Any class of property owner—or the lessee of that property or another person in lawful possession of the property—can be liable for injuries occurring on the property, assuming the requirements of premises liability generally are met. Premises liability claims can be brought against homeowners, retailers, business owners, landlords, property managers—such as homeowners’ associations—or even government agencies that fail to keep their properties safe through their own negligence. If people invited onto the property, by implication or explicitly, are injured because of that negligence, then the entity that controls the property, owner or not, can be held liable for those injuries.

This allows me to focus solely on personal injury litigation and devote myself to helping injured residents in Georgia recover fair compensation for their damages.
