SLIP & FALL

Slips and falls can happen in a flash, leaving you with unexpected injuries and a mountain of bills. If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, like a wet floor or broken sidewalk, you might be facing medical bills and lost income. 

Don’t settle for a quick fix. We’ll fight to get you the compensation you deserve to get back on your feet.

LET'S TAKE THE NEXT STEP TOGETHER

SLIP AND FALL CASES IN GEORGIA

Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere, from retail stores to private properties, and can result in serious injuries. In Georgia, these cases fall under premises liability law, where property owners are responsible for maintaining safe conditions for visitors. If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall accident in Georgia, it’s essential to understand your rights and the legal process involved.

KEY POINTS

DUTY OF CARE

Property owners owe a duty of care to ensure their premises are reasonably safe for visitors. This includes regular maintenance, prompt cleanup of spills, and adequate warnings of hazards.

PROVING NEGLIGENCE

To establish a slip and fall case, you must prove that the property owner was negligent. This involves demonstrating that they knew or should have known about the hazardous condition and failed to take reasonable steps to address it.

COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE

Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning if you were partially at fault for the accident, your compensation may be reduced proportionately to your level of responsibility.

STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS

In Georgia, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim, including slip and fall cases, is generally two years from the date of the accident. It's crucial to act promptly to preserve your right to compensation.

POTENTIAL DAMAGES

If successful, you may be entitled to various damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and punitive damages in cases of extreme negligence.

STEPS TO TAKE AFTER A SLIP AND FALL ACCIDENT:

SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION

Your health and safety are the top priority. Even if injuries seem minor, it's crucial to seek medical evaluation as some injuries may manifest later.

REPORT THE INCIDENT

Notify the property owner, manager, or supervisor of the accident immediately. Ensure an incident report is filed, and request a copy for your records.

GATHER EVIDENCE

Take photos of the accident scene, including the hazard that caused your fall, any visible injuries, and the surrounding area. Collect contact information from witnesses.

PRESERVE DOCUMENTATION

Keep records of all medical treatments, expenses, and any communication with the property owner or their insurance company.

CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY

Consider seeking legal advice from a knowledgeable personal injury attorney experienced in slip and fall cases. They can assess your case, guide you through the legal process, and help pursue fair compensation.

CONCLUSION

Slip and fall accidents can result in significant physical, emotional, and financial burdens. Understanding your rights under Georgia law and taking appropriate steps after an accident can greatly impact your ability to recover compensation for your injuries. If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall accident, don’t hesitate to seek legal assistance to protect your rights and pursue the compensation you deserve.

My experience with Attorney Latin is still ongoing. We started by reaching out early in the morning and she was empathetic and wanted to help with our emergency. She was patient and offered sound advice while gently guiding us through a dark storm. She and her team are still currently working on our behalf and I am grateful to have her on my Legal side.

Mrs. Latin... What a beautiful person who actually cares about my well-being. The type of person who will hold your hand if she sees that you are scared. The type of person who gives her clients the best service. Since I have had her as an attorney, my life has improved beyond my expectations. She makes sure I am taken care of and I have so much more to share about her but I will leave it here... I am happy to exist with such a strong willed, positive being in my life, who happens to be my attorney. Mrs. Latin deserves a 5 out of 5 review!
