Proving Negligence in a Georgia Slip and Fall Case

Slip and fall cases fall under Georgia’s premises liability law. Georgia law requires property owners and those in control of the property, such as a business, to exercise ordinary care to keep the property safe for lawful occupants. When they do not live up to that responsibility, and someone gets hurt, they can be held financially responsible.
You generally have to establish four key elements to prove negligence in a Georgia slip and fall case:
  • The property owner or occupier owed you a duty of care. You must establish that the property owner or occupier owed you a duty to keep the premises reasonably safe and that you were lawfully on the property. Examples of lawful presence on the property include being a customer or an invited guest.
  • The property owner or occupier breached that duty of care. You must prove that there was a hazardous condition on the property and the property owner or occupier knew or should have reasonably known it was there but failed to fix it or provide adequate warnings.
  • The hazard resulted in your injury. You must establish a clear link that the unsafe condition caused your fall.
    You suffered actual damages as a result. You must establish that you sustained actual damages, such as medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering, because of the fall.
Proving negligence in a Georgia slip and fall case can be complex. Evidence can disappear quickly, and the property owner and their insurance company may try to shift blame onto you. You do not have to navigate this difficult time alone. If we can help with your case, our Georgia slip and fall attorney will investigate what happened, build a strong claim on your behalf, and fight for justice and compensation while you focus on healing.

Slip and Fall FAQ

What should I do immediately after a slip and fall?

After a slip and fall, you should report the fall to the property owner, manager, or supervisor. Ask them to create an official accident report. If possible, request a copy of the report.
If you are able, before leaving the accident scene, we recommend:
  • Taking photos and videos of the hazard, the area where you fell, and any visible injuries
  • Request the names and contact information of any witnesses
We also recommend receiving a medical evaluation as soon as possible, even if you believe your injuries are minor. A doctor can check for hidden injuries, like soft tissue injuries, and your medical records will help establish that the fall caused your injuries. The longer you wait to receive medical care, the more difficult it will be to prove that your injuries are a result of the fall.
Finally, consider contacting a Georgia slip and fall attorney for a free, confidential consultation. At Summit Legal Team, we will answer your legal questions, evaluate your case, and help you understand your potential legal options.

How much is my Georgia slip and fall case worth?

There is no set dollar amount for a Georgia slip and fall case. The potential value of your claim depends on many factors unique to your situation, such as:
  • Nature and severity of your injuries
  • Extent of your financial losses, including medical bills and lost wages
  • Impact of your injuries on your daily life
  • Strength of evidence
  • Disputes about accident liability
  • Available insurance coverage
A Georgia slip and fall attorney can give you a clearer idea of what your case may be worth and what compensation you may be entitled to if you have a viable claim.
