We Will Prove How Negligence Injured You on a Georgia Property
Property owners owe visitors a duty of care to keep the grounds safe and free of hazards. Before you can hold a property owner accountable for your injuries, we must show how they were negligent. This involves proving:
- The owner knew about (or should have known about) a dangerous condition on the property. Examples of dangerous conditions are a spill on a walkway, torn carpet, uneven floors or stairs, potholes, and poor lighting.
- The hazard condition was either foreseeable or existed long enough for the owner to find it and fix it.
Our Georgia slip and fall accident attorneys will develop a legal strategy that addresses the unique circumstances of your situation. We will also:
- Investigate the incident to determine what happened.
- Identify all parties that owe you compensation. (In addition to a property owner, other liable parties could include property managers, landlords, utility companies, and municipalities.)
- Collect evidence that proves your case. (Your documentation can include witness statements, employee schedules, company procedures, video surveillance footage, photos, incident reports, etc.)
- Assign your injury case a financial value after assessing all your losses.
- Lead talks for a favorable settlement from the insurer.
- File a personal injury lawsuit if we cannot settle your case outside of court.
- Pursue monetary awards at trial if needed.
Common Injuries in Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents can cause serious injuries that warrant payment. These include injuries such as:
- Fractures: Broken bones, including hip, wrist, and ankle fractures, commonly occur in slip and fall accidents.
- Head trauma: This includes traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), such as concussions.
- Spinal cord injuries: Falls can damage the spinal cord, leading to partial or complete paralysis, mobility issues, and other neurological problems.
- Soft tissue injuries: Sprains and strains may not seem serious initially but can lead to long-term pain and mobility issues if not treated.
- Nerve damage: Falls can cause nerve damage. Victims can seek chronic pain, numbness, or weakness in affected areas.
Our slip and fall lawyers in Georgia can help you recover compensation for these and other injuries. The injuries you suffered and how long it takes you to heal can affect the value of your case.

Once you get medical help, call us about your situation. We can tell you if any exceptions affect your case’s time limit. If we handle your case, we will file it on time. The court must receive your case by the deadline, or you can lose your right to sue.
