Slip and Fall Injuries – Holding Property Owners Accountable in Georgia
Law for Georgia, LLC
Slip and fall accidents are among the most common—and most preventable—causes of serious injury in Georgia. Whether you fell in a grocery store, on a poorly maintained sidewalk, or at a commercial property, the injuries can be painful and costly. At Law for Georgia, LLC, we help injury victims pursue compensation when property owners fail to keep their premises safe.
Understanding Slip and Fall Liability
Under Georgia law, property owners and businesses have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions for visitors. This responsibility includes addressing hazards, warning guests of known dangers, and conducting regular inspections. When they fail in this duty and someone is injured as a result, they may be held liable under premises liability law.
Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall incidents can happen anywhere and for many reasons. Our firm handles cases involving:
-
Wet or slippery floors with no warning signs
-
Uneven or broken sidewalks or pavement
-
Poor lighting in hallways or stairwells
-
Torn carpeting or loose floorboards
-
Ice or snow on walkways
-
Spills or debris in grocery or retail stores
-
Loose handrails or faulty stairs
-
Unsafe conditions in nursing homes or apartment complexes
Types of Injuries in Slip and Fall Cases
A fall may seem minor, but many victims suffer serious injuries that require extensive treatment and time off work. Common injuries include:
-
Broken bones (hips, wrists, ankles)
-
Head injuries and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
-
Spinal cord injuries
-
Knee and back injuries
-
Soft tissue damage (sprains, strains, and tears)
Some injuries may not appear immediately, which is why it’s crucial to seek medical attention and legal advice as soon as possible after a fall.
How Law for Georgia, LLC Helps Slip and Fall Victims
We understand the legal complexities involved in proving a premises liability claim. Insurance companies often try to shift the blame or argue that the hazard was “open and obvious.” Our experienced attorneys know how to build a strong case that proves negligence and maximizes your compensation.
Here’s how we help:
-
Investigation – We gather evidence, review surveillance footage, inspect the scene, and interview witnesses.
-
Documentation – We obtain medical records and expert evaluations to support your injury claim.
-
Liability Analysis – We determine whether the property owner knew or should have known about the hazard.
-
Negotiation and Litigation – We negotiate with insurers or pursue a lawsuit to recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term care.
Your Right to Compensation
If you were legally on the property and injured due to unsafe conditions, you may be entitled to compensation. Georgia’s comparative negligence law may affect your case if you are found partially responsible, but you can still recover damages if you were less than 50% at fault.
At Law for Georgia, LLC, we handle slip and fall cases on a contingency fee basis—you pay nothing unless we win your case.
Don’t Wait to Assert Your Rights
There is a limited time to file a slip and fall claim in Georgia, typically two years from the date of the accident. Early legal action can make a critical difference in the outcome of your case.
Let Law for Georgia, LLC evaluate your situation and fight for the compensation you deserve.
