2 . Slip and Fall Injury Overview

If you were in a public place or a private residence in Georgia and hurt yourself due to a slip and fall, you may be eligible to file one of the many slip and fall lawsuits that are on court dockets around the country. Of course, if the fault of the accident was yours, or there is some other circumstance that does not satisfy the slip and fall lawsuit requirement, you may still file a suit. There are plenty of slip and fall lawyers in Georgia who will still gladly file the suit. But, you should expect that it could get dismissed, if the fault was yours.

You have to be able to prove some kind of negligence on the part of the company or private citizen at whose Georgia property the slip and fall injury occurred. A good example of this would be a wet floor. You are probably familiar with businesses that mop their floors and put out bright yellow or orange caution signs and/or cones to warn people that the area is wet and not to cross it. If these signs are clearly posted and you cross into the slippery area anyway, the business has a good chance of not being liable for the fall. As previously mentioned, you are free to file anyway, but if they can prove the signs were properly posted, any slip and fall lawsuit may be dismissed.

3 . Filing Slip and Fall Lawsuits in Georgia

The sooner you file a lawsuit after the injury, the better off you will probably be. Most slip and fall injury claims are filed within 30 days of the injury. The reasoning behind this is that if you wait too long, it may look like you are trying to file a frivolous lawsuit instead of a legitimate one. If your case has even a hint of frivolity to it, you are more likely to get it dismissed.

Most slip and fall lawyers in Georgia will tell you that you should first visit a doctor around Georgia to see the extent of your injuries. This will prove that you did indeed suffer a slip and fall injury, and can be invaluable in your case. You must keep close records, not only of the medical injury records, but also of any work you missed and how much money it cost you. Any additional costs such as physical therapy, transportation, medications, and the like should also be carefully recorded. If you should win any slip and fall lawsuits, these expenses can be reimbursed, and then some.

4 . Slip and Fall Lawyers Attorneys around Georgia

Many lawyers in Georgia have a specialty and are certified by their respective state boards. These specialties can be such practices as family law, divorces, corporate law, tax law, real estate law, personal injury, and more. It is the last specialty, personal injury, that most slip and fall lawyers are a part of.

A slip and fall attorney may focus on more than just a slip and fall injury—they may also take cases dealing with car accidents, on-the-job injuries (maybe even Workman's Comp cases), insurance claims, and perhaps even wrongful death claims (these are often handled by criminal lawyers).

Personal injury lawyers in Georgia usually have a large amount of slip and fall injury cases, and so are the best choices when filing slip and fall lawsuits. Not only are they likely to be already experienced in this type of case, but also they know exactly how to go about filing a case. In many cases, they can get you a settlement without even going to court, which saves lots of time and money in court fees and dragged-out cases.
