Georgia Slip And Fall Legal Questions

A landlord has a duty to make all common areas on the premises, like stairways, safe for guests. You would have to prove that there was a dangerous condition that the landlord knew or should've known about, and failed to correct. In order to prove that, you should return to the property at the same time of day that you fell, and take plenty of pictures, which hopefully would establish to wit: that there was a dangerous condition that was either latent or hidden or both. ...

If you fell due to poor conditions of the parking lot, the owner of the lot may be liable. A parking lot owner is responsible for proper maintenance of the lot, including patching cracks, filling potholes and making sure the construction does not have abrupt changes in elevation.   If there was ice or snow on the lot that caused you to fall, the owner may be liable if reasonable efforts were not made to clear ice and snow on their property. You should consult with an experienced personal injury attorney to discuss the merits of your claim.   D’Amico, Griffin & Pettinicchi, LLC 465 Straits TurnpikeWatertown CT, 06795Phone: (860) 945-6600...

I am very sorry to hear about your fall. It sounds like you are in a great deal of pain. In order to determine liability, it must be proven that Exxon did not take ordinary care to maintain a safe floor. As there was not a wet floor sign, it sounds like you have a case. Due to the fact that insurance companies always offer far less to individuals unrepresented, I highly encourage you to speak to an attorney about your case who can give you some advice. Any good personal injury attorney will offer you a free initial consultation, and be able to tell you what steps to take next. I have successfully handled similar cases in Georgia and would be happy to answer any of your questions. Obviously, the most important consideration is getting whatever medical attention you need. If you do not have the means to pay for medical care, a personal injury attorney may be able to help you see a local doctor. For example, I have relationships with physicians across the state and have been able to arrange for my clients to obtain medical treatment at no cost to them, with the understanding that the client will reimburse the treatment providers once the case settles or we win at trial. Many of my clients have received medical treatment this way. It is also very important that you follow up with your therapy. First, follow up visits will ensure that you heal properly. Second, people (claims adjusters, attorneys, and even jurors) are often suspicious of those who claim to be injured but fail to follow their doctor’s treatment plan. To answer your main point of question, when you are injured as a result of someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for (1) medical bills, (2) lost wages if you are unable to work, (3) pain and suffering, (4) any permanent injury or disfigurement, and (5) inconvenience and loss of enjoyment of life. I know that being injured as a result of someone else’s negligence is a frustrating and upsetting experience, but speaking with an attorney is the best thing that you can do right now to ensure that you get all the help that you need. In the meantime, I would not speak with the insurance adjustor or gas station without an attorney present. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize the damages an injured party can recover and will use anything you say against you to devalue your claim. Please call me directly at (404) 939-1485 and I would be happy to discuss your case further. I wish you the best of luck.  ... Read Answer

I am so sorry to hear about your fall. I am not sure why other attorneys will not take your case given it has been 30 days since the accident. The only issue I could see is if you have not been actively seeking medical treatment therefore creating a long gap in treatment. Also, it's important to know if you have been speaking to anyone from this company or have signed anything that could potentially harm your case. Without knowing additional facts, I cannot accurately say why people are turning your case down. I practice personal injury law in Decatur and have handled a lot of similar slip and fall cases. First, you need to make sure that you get the medical attention you need to address the injury to your knee. See your regular doctor or medical provider, if you have one. If you do not medical insurance, an attorney may be able to help you see a doctor anyway. For example, I have relationships with several local doctors and have been able to arrange for my clients to obtain medical treatment at no cost to them. Knee injuries can be complicated and costly, so getting prompt medical attention should be your first priority. Second, I would encourage you to continue speaking with attorneys about your case. Any good personal injury attorney will be willing to have an initial meeting with you – for free. If proved to be negligent, this company may be willing to pay for any ongoing medical bills. You may also have claims for pain and suffering or lost wages if the injury has kept you out of work, or both. An experienced attorney will be able to tell you how to proceed to protect your rights. If you have any more questions, please call me at- 404-939-1485. Good luck, and I hope you feel better soon.

the settlement value of any personal injury case depends on (A) the facts and circumstances surrounding liability and (B) the extent of permanent damage caused by injury.  If you have a lawyer you should ask a lawyer for his input on this issue.  If you don't have a lawyer and your negotiating on your own and you're going to be at a disadvantage.  If you post more facts about the injury and how it occurred I can attempt to give you a more precise answer. Please note that by attempting to answer your question, I am not acting as your attorney. I will do nothing further to protect or preserve your interests in the absence of any additional discussion with you about this matter. John Ratkowitz, Esq.
