What to do after a slip & fall in Georgia

  1. Get medical attention immediately. Even if symptoms seem minor — adrenaline masks injuries, and a 24- to 48-hour gap in care is the first thing insurers attack.
  2. Report and document. File a police or incident report. Take photos. Get witness names and contact info. Save every document.
  3. Don’t talk to the other side’s insurer. Their adjuster is paid to minimize what you receive. Politely decline recorded statements until you speak with an attorney.
  4. Get a free case review. The earlier an attorney is involved, the better evidence is preserved and the stronger the claim.

Atlanta slip & fall FAQ

Can I sue a Georgia store if I slip and fall?
Yes if the store knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to fix or warn about it. The store’s incident report and surveillance video are critical.
What if there was a wet-floor sign?
Not an automatic defense. Whether the warning was adequate depends on visibility, placement, and timing. Courts look at whether a reasonable person would have seen it.
What if I was looking at my phone?
Comparative negligence may reduce your recovery, but you can still recover if you were less than 50% at fault.
How long do slip-and-fall cases take in Georgia?
Most settle in 8–18 months. Cases involving permanent injuries or disputed liability often take longer.
