Personal injury laws protect persons who have been harmed by the direct fault or negligence of another person or entity. Personal injury law also serves survivors who choose to pursue a wrongful death claim. A wrongful death lawsuit is appropriate when a person or entity (i.e., company) has directly caused or indirectly contributed to the untimely death of another person.

Slip and Fall

Slip and fall claims in Georgia are based on injuries sustained by someone from slipping, tripping, or falling. A property owner may be liable to someone injured in a slip and fall when they are negligent in up-keeping or repairing their premises. Slip and falls are one of the most common types of premises liability cases. However, although common, slip and fall cases can cause life-altering injuries. Property owners can be held liable for their negligence if”

• They created a dangerous condition which caused the slip and fall. This is known as “active negligence.” An example of this is if a restaurant employee mops the floor but fails to place “wet floor” warning signs in the area.
• They knew, or should have known, about the hazard yet failed to correct it. This is known as “passive negligence.” An example of this would be if a customer spills liquid on the floor of that same restaurant, notifies the manager, but they take no reasonable steps to clean it up.
