Slip and fall lawyer in Atlanta

Slip and fall lawyer Atlanta: where falls happen

Falls here start in these places: apartment complex stairs, grocery and big-box stores, MARTA stations, and parking decks.

Georgia's rule is strict about your share of the blame. Write down what you were doing and what you were wearing on your feet while you still remember.

Your deadline in Atlanta

Against a private owner you have two years under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33.

Against the city, the written claim must arrive within six months, per City of Atlanta Department of Law, filing a claim. Call the same week you fall.

Before you leave the property

Call us first, even from the parking lot; the review is free. Then get an incident report written while you are still there. Photograph the spot, your shoes and any missing warning sign. Take the names of people who saw it, then see a doctor that day.

You can recover only if your share of the fault is under 50 percent. At 50 percent or more you get nothing.
