Atlanta Slip & Fall Accident Attorney

Who is liable in a slip & fall accident?

If you have been seriously injured in a private residence, public, government or commercial property due to the negligence of a property owner, you may be entitled to compensation. It is the responsibility of a property owner and / or manager to maintain an adequate standard of care in the event that a visitor will be entering the premises, so when potentially hazardous conditions are ignored—including spills left on the floor, slick or oily surfaces, uneven pavement, etc.—they may be held accountable for their negligent actions through the concept of premises liability.

How Can You Receive Compensation?

In order to make a valid case against the responsible party, you must be able to show that:

• The owner or property manager was aware of the hazardous condition and failed to remedy the problem in a timely manner
• The owner or property manager should have known of the danger—in the case that any other reasonable person in the same position would have recognized and remedied the problem

If you have reasonable evidence to prove that either of these factors lead to the accident that has caused you harm, you should not hesitate to take legal action. In the aftermath of a slip and fall accident, it is important to act quickly by retaining the assistance of an experienced Atlanta premises liability attorney as soon as possible after an injury was sustained.

Slip, Trip & Fall Accidents in Georgia: Act quickly!

Owners and tenants of retail stores, grocery stores, restaurants, government buildings, private residences and business offices have a duty to maintain the property in a reasonably safe condition and to post warnings when a hazard exists. Children, pregnant women, and the elderly are especially likely to be severely injured in a slip and fall accident. After an injury has occurred, the owner or staff members will take steps to resolve the hazard to ensure that no one else will be injured in the future, and to ensure that evidence that could be used against them is quickly removed.

After a slip and fall accident, the insurance company involved will frequently dispatch investigators to conduct interviews of witnesses and gather evidence to assist in limiting owner or tenant’s liability.
