On Wednesday afternoon, Gwinnett County firefighters battled a blaze at an apartment complex near Norcross. The fire broke out around noon in the 1300 block of Season Parkway, the AJCreports.
Video footage from the Channel 2 Action News chopper revealed that the fire was nearly out around 12:30 p.m., although the flames did burn through the roof of a portion of the two-story building.
Fortunately, no injuries have been reported as of yet.
Although no one was injury, the apartment fire could have easily led to case of premises liability. Property owners are required to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition or warn visitors about any dangerous conditions that are known, or should be known. When someone is injured on another’s property (home, shop, mall, construction site, parking lot, etc.), he or she may have a premises liability case.
At Pope & Howard, P.C., we’ve handled many cases involving dangerous conditions and/or inadequate security. Our experience includes defending premises cases for Atlanta and Savannah International Airports, and we are now putting this experience to work for people who have suffered from avoidable injuries on another’s property.
