AtlantaSlip & fall lawyers

Slip and fall injuries are often preventable. When a property owner fails to fix, inspect, or warn about unsafe conditions, a normal trip to a store, apartment complex, office, or parking lot can turn into a serious injury. We help Atlanta injury victims understand what happened and what options may be available.

Alisa Wilkes, Atlanta slip and fall lawyer

Before you give a statement

Slip and fall injury claims often depend on more than the fall itself. The condition of the property, how long the hazard existed, whether warning signs were used, and how the property owner or business responded afterward can all affect how the case moves forward.

01

Your first call

We listen to what happened, ask the right questions, and help you understand whether the unsafe condition may support a slip and fall claim.

02

We gather the details

We look into what caused the fall, including photos, incident reports, maintenance issues, prior complaints, and whether the hazard should have been fixed or clearly warned about.

03

We build your claim

We gather medical records, document your injuries, and connect the harm you suffered to the unsafe condition that caused the fall.

04

We hold the property owner accountable

We handle the claim process and pursue compensation so you are not left dealing with the property owner, business, or insurance company on your own.

There’s no upfront cost to get started. We handle slip and fall cases on a contingency basis, which means you do not pay unless we recover compensation for you.

No. These cases deserve to be handled carefully. We do not rush settlements. We focus on building a strong claim and helping you make informed decisions at every step.

What to do after a slip and fall

  1. 01

    Get medical attention

    Your health comes first. Even if the injury seems minor at first, get evaluated and follow through with treatment. This also creates important medical records.

  2. 02

    Report the incident to the property owner

    Let the store, business, apartment office, or property manager know what happened. Ask for an incident report if possible, but stick to the basic facts.

  3. 03

    Document the scene

    Take photos of the hazard, the surrounding area, your shoes, warning signs, and anything that may have contributed to the fall. If there were witnesses, try to get their information.

  4. 04

    Call us before the insurance company

    You may be contacted by the property owner, business, or insurance company. It is important to understand your options before giving statements or accepting anything.

Common causes of slip and fall injuries

And how they can affect your slip and fall claim and settlement

Wet or slippery floors

Spills, recently mopped floors, leaks, or tracked-in rain can create slick surfaces that lead to sudden falls.

Uneven walking surfaces

Cracked sidewalks, loose tiles, damaged flooring, or uneven pavement can catch a foot and cause a trip.

Poor lighting or visibility

Dim lighting can make it hard to see hazards like steps, changes in elevation, loose objects, or obstacles.

Cluttered walkways

Items left in aisles, cords, displays, boxes, or debris can block safe paths and create tripping hazards.

Lack of warning signs

When hazards are not clearly marked, people may walk into dangerous conditions without realizing it.

Damaged stairs or handrails

Broken steps, loose railings, missing handrails, or uneven stair surfaces can make stairs unsafe to use.

Slippery outdoor conditions

Rain, mud, poor drainage, or other outdoor conditions can make entryways, sidewalks, ramps, and parking lots hazardous.

Neglected property maintenance

When routine maintenance is ignored, small property issues can turn into serious safety risks over time.

What damages can you recover?

  1. 01

    Medical expenses

    This includes emergency care, hospital visits, follow-up treatment, physical therapy, and any ongoing medical needs related to your injuries.

  2. 02

    Lost income

    If your injuries keep you from working, you may be able to recover lost wages and income during your recovery.

  3. 03

    Future medical care

    Some injuries require long-term treatment. Future care needs can be considered as part of your claim, not just what you have already paid.

  4. 04

    Loss of earning ability

    If your injuries affect your ability to return to work or limit what you can do long term, that impact may be factored into your settlement.

  5. 05

    Pain & suffering

    This reflects the physical pain and discomfort caused by your injuries, both immediately after the fall and over time.

  6. 06

    Impact on daily life

    Injuries can affect your ability to do everyday activities, spend time with family, or enjoy things you once did. That impact can be part of your claim.

  7. 07

    Emotional distress

    Injuries can take a mental toll as well. Anxiety, stress, and other emotional effects may be considered depending on the situation.

  8. 08

    Scarring or disfigurement

    If your injury leaves visible scars or lasting changes to your appearance, you may be entitled to compensation for the long-term impact.
