Overview

A slip and fall can happen in seconds — a wet floor with no sign, a broken step, a dark stairwell — but the injuries and recovery can last months. Georgia law requires property owners to keep their premises reasonably safe, and we hold them to it.

Why This Practice Area Matters

Most slip and fall claims come down to one question: did the property owner know, or should they have known, about the hazard? We pull maintenance logs, prior incident reports, and surveillance footage to answer it.

Common Causes

  • Unmarked Wet or Recently Mopped Floors
  • Broken or Uneven Stairs
  • Poor Lighting
  • Torn Carpeting or Loose Mats
  • Cluttered Walkways
  • Icy or Rain-Slicked Entrances

Compensation You May Recover

  • Medical Expenses
  • Lost Wages
  • Pain and Suffering
  • Future Medical and Rehabilitation Costs
  • Long-Term Mobility Limitations

Case Guide

Slip and fall cases often turn on notice — did the owner know, or should they have known, about the hazard in time to fix it or warn visitors? We investigate maintenance schedules, prior incidents, and surveillance footage to answer that question quickly, before evidence disappears.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prove the property owner was negligent?

We show the owner knew or should have known about the hazard through reasonable inspection and failed to fix it or warn visitors, using maintenance records, prior complaints, and photos.

What if I was partly at fault for my fall?

Georgia's comparative negligence rule still allows you to recover as long as you're less than 50% at fault, though your award is reduced by your share of responsibility.

What if there were no warning signs posted?

The absence of warning signs can support your claim, especially if the property knew about the hazard and failed to address or flag it.
