Slip and Fall Lawyers
Georgia Premises Liability / Slip and Fall Lawyers
Property owners in Georgia have a legal responsibility to keep their premises safe for visitors. When they fail to do so, serious injuries can occur. At Carli K. Bryant Law, our Georgia premises liability attorneys help injured individuals pursue compensation after slip and fall accidents, unsafe conditions, and other preventable hazards on public or private property.
What Is Premises Liability?
Premises liability refers to legal claims brought against property owners or managers who
fail to maintain safe conditions. These cases often arise from:
• Slip and falls on wet or uneven surfaces
• Poor lighting in stairwells or parking lots
• Broken railings or steps
• Falling merchandise in stores
• Dog bites or animal attacks
• Swimming pool accidents
• Negligent security resulting in assault
If a property owner knew—or should have known—about the dangerous condition and
failed to fix it or warn you, they may be liable for your injuries.

Understanding Georgia’s Premises Liability Laws
Georgia law recognizes three types of visitors:
1. Invitees – People invited onto a property for business purposes (e.g., customers at a
store). Owners owe them the highest duty of care.
2. Licensees – Social guests or those on the property for non-business reasons. Owners
must avoid willfully injuring them or creating hazards.
3. Trespassers – People who enter without permission. The duty owed is minimal, but
landowners cannot set traps or intentionally cause harm.
Your legal rights and potential compensation depend heavily on your status as a visitor and
whether the hazard was foreseeable.
Common Slip and Fall Locations in Georgia
• Grocery stores (e.g., Kroger, Publix, Walmart)
• Restaurants and fast food chains
• Apartment complexes and rental properties
• Hotels and motels
• Retail centers and shopping malls
• Hospitals and medical offices
• Office buildings
• Government or municipal properties
Georgia’s Comparative Negligence Rule
Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence system. If you were partially at fault for
your fall (e.g., ignoring a warning sign), your compensation may be reduced by your
percentage of fault. However, as long as you’re less than 50% responsible, you may still
recover damages.
What to Do After a Slip and Fall in Georgia
1. Report the incident to the property owner or manager.
2. Take photographs of the hazard and surrounding area.
3. Collect names of witnesses or staff who saw the incident.
4. Seek medical attention, even for minor injuries.
5. Contact a Georgia slip and fall attorney before speaking with insurance.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
Slip and fall injuries can be deceptively serious. Victims may suffer:
• Broken bones
• Back and neck injuries
• Torn ligaments
• Concussions or head trauma
• Chronic pain or disability
You may be entitled to compensation for:
• Medical bills
• Rehabilitation or physical therapy
• Lost income and future earnings
• Pain and suffering
• Long-term disability or reduced mobility
