Overview

Premises liability claims require proof the property owner knew or should have known of a dangerous condition and failed to fix or warn. Slippery floors, uneven pavement, and bad lighting are common hazards.

Why This Practice Area Matters

We analyze notice, prior incidents, maintenance logs, video retention policies, and building codes. Quick investigation preserves spill duration and cleaning records.

Common Causes

  • Unmarked wet floors after cleaning
  • Leaking refrigeration units
  • Broken handrails
  • Poor lighting on stairs
  • Uneven mats or transitions
  • Ice or rainwater tracked indoors

Compensation You May Recover

  • Surgery and physical therapy
  • Lost income
  • Pain and suffering
  • Future mobility limitations

Case Guide

Georgia slip-and-fall success often depends on whether the hazard was open and obvious, how long it existed, and whether employees created it.

Who This Is For

Invitees at stores, restaurants, apartments, and offices injured by preventable property defects.

What To Expect In The Process

  1. Send spoliation letter for surveillance
  2. Document footwear and substance on floor
  3. Investigate prior complaints
  4. Build medical damages narrative

Estimated timeline: Many premises cases take 9–24 months if liability is contested.

Evidence Checklist

  • Photos of hazard and lack of warning signs
  • Incident report from business
  • Witness names
  • Medical records for fracture or head injury

Mistakes To Avoid

  • Leaving without an incident report
  • Assuming insurance will be fair without documentation of notice

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file a slip and fall lawsuit in Georgia?

Many personal injury premises cases fall under a two-year limitations period, but some defendants or claims can involve different deadlines—verify promptly with counsel.

Does the store always owe me money if I fell?

No. You must show the owner had knowledge of the hazard or should have discovered it through reasonable inspection, and that it caused your injury.
