Property Owners
In Georgia, property owners have a legal obligation to maintain safe conditions on their premises, whether it’s a commercial establishment, a public space, or a private residence. When they fail to do so, and someone is injured as a result, the property owner may be held liable for the damages sustained by the victim. These damages can include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
To successfully pursue a slip and fall claim, you must prove that the property owner was negligent in their duty to maintain a safe environment. This typically involves establishing that they either knew or should have known about the hazardous condition and failed to take reasonable action to correct it. Gathering evidence, such as photos of the scene, witness statements, and documentation of your injuries, is crucial in building a strong case.
It’s also essential to understand that Georgia follows a comparative negligence rule. This means that if you are found to be partially responsible for your slip and fall accident, your compensation may be reduced according to the percentage of your fault. For example, if you are awarded $100,000 in damages but are found to be 30% at fault, your compensation would be reduced to $70,000.
