Why Hire a Slip and Fall Attorney

Falls can lead to devastating injuries. When falls are caused by dangerous conditions on a property, the owner or manager of that property could be held liable for the costs of injuries they cause.

Slip and fall cases fall under the premises liability category. These cases can be complex, which is why it’s important to have an experienced lawyer on your side. A slip and fall injury attorney can investigate the property and the owner or manager’s role in the injuries you’ve suffered.

Your slip and fall lawyer can handle correspondence with insurance companies, other attorneys, and other parties involved in a claim. They can build your case, handle all the legal documentation needed for your claim, and maximize the compensation you receive if your case is successful.

Elevated Falls

There are two kinds of a slip or fall accident. The first is known as an elevated fall. Elevated falls occur from a height, such as ladders, stairs, or platforms.

Elevated falls can result in severe injury or even death so it is key to establish safe protocols when working from a height.

Same-Level Falls

The second type of fall is a same-level fall which happens at the same height.

Falls, trips, or slips from any level can cause strains, sprains, broken bones, or head trauma.

MOST FREQUENT QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

No two cases are quite alike. The amount of financial compensation available in your claim will depend on a number of factors, including (but not limited to):

  • The severity of your injuries
  • The nature of any other damages you might be able to claim
  • The number of parties liable
  • Whether you were partially at fault too (note that this is not a bar to recovering money in many cases)
  • The relevant insurance policy limits
  • Any statutory caps or limitations that might apply
  • All the other factors and circumstances surrounding your claim.

We understand, however, that your potential for financial recovery is an important part of your decision about whether to take legal action. We also understand how important that money is to you and your family — you’ve suffered real losses, you may have missed work, you have bills to pay, and so on.

While no one can promise specific results in advance, what we can offer you is a free, no-obligation consultation with our Augusta personal injury lawyer. Call us or contact us online, tell us about your situation, and we can help you learn more about the damages you might be entitled to.

We can also tell you how much money people with similar claims have recovered in Georgia in the past.

In some cases, you may be entitled to much more money than you realize. For that reason, it is important to discuss your claim closely (and confidentially) with an experienced attorney before making any decisions about your legal rights.

Though the statute of limitations for slip and fall cases in Georgia is two years from the date of the injury, we suggest you act as quickly as possible. Evidence needed to build your claim could be lost or altered by the property owner. The sooner you contact a slip and fall lawyer, the better your attorney’s chances will be of preserving evidence.

The answer depends on many factors. The total costs of your medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering will determine how much you should demand in your slip and fall claim. Calculating those damages can be challenging without the help of experienced attorney. We suggest you contact our team for a free consultation to talk about the value of your claim.

  • Keep a clean workspace – if a spill occurs, wipe it up and notify your co-workers or management.
  • Be aware – make sure you are aware of your surroundings and any potential trip hazards, especially if you are carrying or lifting items.
  • Use safety equipment – holding on to handrails and making sure work areas have sufficient lighting will help minimize your chance of an injury.

  • Use ladders with caution – ensure that the base is stable and secure.
  • Choose the right ladder for the job – don’t use a ladder that is too short and causes you to stand above the safety step.
  • Wear appropriate gear – Things like hard hats, safety nets, and guardrails can greatly reduce your chances of a fall.

A slip or fall may seem like a simple and straightforward accident but proving someone else is legally responsible for your injuries opens the door to questions on all parties involved.

Here are a few of the key liability questions in slip and fall cases:

  • Who are the potentially liable parties?
  • Were those parties actually negligent, i.e. did they cause or fail to prevent the slip and fall accident?
  • Did the plaintiff engage in any activity that might have prevented them from noticing the hazard—talking or texting on a phone, for example—when an otherwise reasonable person would have noticed it?
