According to the Georgia Department of Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):
These numbers highlight the serious impact of falls and the importance of holding negligent property owners accountable for not keeping their premises safe.
Under Georgia’s premises liability laws (O.C.G.A. § 51-3-1), property owners and occupiers have a duty of care to maintain safe premises for lawful visitors. If they fail to correct or warn about a hazard and someone gets hurt, they may be held liable.
To recover compensation, an injured person must prove:
Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule under O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33, which means you can recover damages as long as you are less than 50% at fault for the accident.
Our attorneys handle every type of fall-related case, including:
Falls caused by spilled liquids, food, trash, or debris.
Example: A grocery store fails to clean up a spilled drink within a reasonable time.
Slip and fall cases are part of a broader area of Georgia personal injury law that protects victims injured by another party’s negligence.
Falls caused by defective structures such as broken stairs, uneven flooring, or missing handrails.
Example: A hotel stairwell with loose carpeting or uneven steps.
Hazards such as cracked pavement, poor lighting, or broken tiles that make a property unsafe.
