Dangerous Products & Property Liability in Georgia
State and federal regulations protect consumers from dangerous and/or defective products and properties. The designer, manufacturer, wholesaler, or retailer of a dangerous or defective product may be found liable if the defect was foreseeable or preventable.
Likewise, if a property owner does not take reasonable precautions to prevent accidents, they are to be held legally responsible in the event of an accident.
