The Forsyth County Fire Inspector has asked that we continue to do the following items:

​

1. Do not plug extension cords directly into outlets.  Use a multi-plug WITH A SURGE PROTECTER and plug

extension cords into this multi-plug.  There must be a surge protector in the multi-plug. Inspector Everett

also asked that we unplug these multi-plugs from the wall outlet between shows.

​

2. Impeded Access and Line Violations.  Remaining behind the white lines is not a request from Forsyth

County but a violation they take seriously.  Please remove anything obstructing the doors and move all

merchandise behind the white lines. In Georgia, if someone trips and gets hurt at a flea market due to merchandise misplaced in a walkway, the flea market operator/owner or the vendor responsible for that merchandise could be held liable under the states

premises liability laws.

​

Key principles Duty of care: Business owners and operators in Georgia have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe

for customers. This extends to flea markets and includes ensuring merchandise is stored safely and not creating

hazards in walkways.

​

Negligence: To hold the flea market or vendor responsible, you need to demonstrate their negligence, meaning

they failed to exercise ordinary care in keeping the premises and approaches safe, and that this negligence directly

caused your injury.

​

Knowledge of the hazard: You would need to show that the flea market owner/operator or vendor either knew

about the misplaced merchandise or should have reasonably known about it and failed to address the hazard.

​

Modified comparative negligence: Georgia uses a modified comparative negligence system. This means if you, the

injured party, are found to be partially at fault for the accident (less than 50%), you can still recover damages, but

the amount will be reduced proportionally to your degree of fault. If you are found to be 50% or more at fault, you

cannot recover any damages. 

​

Potential parties held liable

​

Flea market owner/operator: They have an overarching duty to ensure the general safety of the entire flea market

premises, including common areas and walkways. They are responsible for inspecting the premises regularly and

addressing hazards created by vendors or others.

Vendor: The individual vendor whose merchandise caused the fall may be liable if they were negligent in placing

their goods and creating a dangerous condition. 

​

Important Note: The specific circumstances of the accident, including the degree of visibility of the merchandise,

any warnings in place, and the actions of both the injured person and the responsible party, will be crucial in

determining liability.
