Award Winning Georgia Slip and Fall Lawyer for Serious Injury Claims
What Counts as a Slip & Fall Claim
"Slip and fall,” sometimes called a trip and fall accident, covers injuries that happen when a
property owner fails to keep walkways safe. Wet grocery-store aisles in
Lawrenceville, uneven bricks outside an
Athens café, or loose power cords in a
Valdosta hotel lobby all qualify. Because Georgia premises liability law demands owners fix dangers they know or should know about, proving
negligence starts with documenting the exact condition that took you down.
Immediate Steps After a Fall
- Seek medical care; even minor aches can mask fractures or
head trauma.
- Report the incident and secure a written statement from management.
- Photograph hazards, shoes, and any warning signs (or lack thereof).
- Collect witness names and store surveillance clips if possible.
- Call an Atlanta slip & fall attorney at 404-777-HURT before speaking to insurers.
How an Attorney Adds Value
Insurance adjusters like to shrug off falls as “accidents.”
Our team treats them as preventable events caused by negligent property owners. We secure maintenance logs, subpoena surveillance, and, when necessary, bring in forensic engineers to map moisture or traction levels. Whether your case arises from a downtown Atlanta office lobby or a rural community center outside Athens, we calculate losses for ER bills, physical therapy, lost paychecks, and
long-term mobility issues. That’s why clients across Georgia trust us to turn a dismissed fall into a documented claim—and a clear path to recovery. Reach out today for a free review and let our team fight for the compensation you deserve.
Answers to Slip & Fall Questions
What is the difference between a slip and a trip?
A slip loses traction on slick surfaces; a trip strikes an obstacle. Both fall under premises liability.
What is Georgia’s statute of limitations?
Two years from the date of injury, though evidence fades quickly, so act now.
What is the most helpful evidence to win my case?
Surveillance footage, incident reports, and prompt photos of the hazard.
Can I sue my apartment complex?
Yes, if management knew or should have known about the danger and failed to act.
Should I photograph my footwear?
Absolutely—tread patterns can disprove defense claims of inappropriate shoes.
