Georgia Slip and Fall Attorney

One very common area of premises liability is slip and fall. This occurs when an unsafe condition such as a spill or slippery surface causes you to slip and fall down. A slip and fall can happen anywhere like a construction site, on private property, on the job, or at a retail establishment. If a serious injury occurs you could be able to receive restitution for lost wages, medical bills, and pain and suffering caused by your fall.

Who is Responsible for a Slip and Fall?

 

Slip and falls can happen anywhere and for any reason. Even a minor fall can mean serious injury. If the property owner or staff are negligent in looking after your safety, they are liable for a legal claim. Some of the most common causes of slip and falls include:

  • Wet or slippery with no warning signage

  • Uneven floors or pulled up carpet

  • Poorly lit hallways or staircases

  • Failure of staff to pick up fallen merchandise

  • Broken or lacking guardrails or handrails

  • Merchandise in aisles or sticking out into traffic area

Sadly, many people who are seriously injured in a fall suffer alone because they assume that their injury was caused by their own carelessness. This means that they are left to pay all their own medical bills and suffer lost wages from missed time at work. When one family member is seriously injured, the whole family suffers as well. If the fall happened due to an unsafe condition at a retail store or apartment complex, our Georgia Personal Injury Lawyers at The Berry Law Group do not think this is fair. No one should have to suffer because of a dangerous situation created by a retail store or apartment complex.


It is important to remember that there are strict limits in Georgia as to when you can file a premises liability claim. If you've been injured on someone else's property, call us right now to get the ball rolling.
