Premises Liability Case Values in Georgia (2026)

Based on a limited but illustrative dataset of two Georgia Premises Liability verdicts, outcomes range from $1.8M to $4.2M with a median and mean of $3.0M, suggesting meaningful exposure for property owners across both residential and commercial contexts. The higher-value case involving a dog attack on an elderly victim by a known dangerous breed (Presa Canario) reflects Georgia juries' willingness to award significantly when vulnerability and foreseeable risk converge, while the QuikTrip slip-and-fall result demonstrates that corporate defendants face substantial liability even at the lower end of this range. Georgia's modified comparative fault rule (50% bar) and absence of a general non-economic damages cap leave significant room for large awards when liability is clearly established, making early case assessment and risk management critical for defendants.
