(470) 975-7195Important Initial Advice!
Dealing with the aftermath of a slip and fall accident goes beyond just physical injuries; it can deeply affect your life in ways you might not have anticipated.
Slip and fall situations get tricky, fast, especially when several parties are involved — from the person who left that spot slippery to the owners of the property or the folks in charge of keeping the place safe. Navigating the maze of slip and fall laws brings its own hurdles.
That’s where we come in, ready to guide you from the moment you decide to seek justice all the way through to the end. Yet, there are a few key pieces of advice you should follow:
- Attend all medical appointments and follow expert advice
- Stay off social media
- Don’t accept the first offer from the insurance company
- Be careful with language used in comms with the insurance company
- Get in touch with slip and fall lawyers in Atlanta
Duty to Inspect
The length of time the dangerous condition existed is a primary issue in a slip and fall claim. A property owner may not be liable for a condition that arose mere seconds before the accident. However, the property owner may be liable if enough time transpired that the dangerous condition should have been discovered. In other words, the property owner should have known about the unsafe condition had he or she fulfilled their duty of inspection.
The slip and fall injury lawyer assigned to you will analyze clues to determine the length of time the problem existed. For example, a banana peel that is bright yellow and intact may have just fallen on the ground, whereas a brown, decayed peel was likely laying there for a long time.
Other evidence includes eyewitness accounts, video footage of the spill area and complaints made to management about the slippery floor.
Duty to Warn
The property owner may know about a slippery floor and not be able to remedy the matter right away. However, the property owner has a duty to warn about the condition in this case. For instance, the company might cordon off the area around a leaky air conditioning unit or freezer until the problem can be fixed. Likewise, maintenance staff can temporarily place temporary cones around an area being mopped until the floor dries.
Deadlines
If you’ve been injured in a slip, trip or fall incident, you really can’t delay in filing your claim.
In the state of Georgia, the statute of limitations mandates a two-year deadline from the date of your accident to file a lawsuit. Let that window close, and your chance to pursue compensation against the liable party vanishes.
Two years might seem ample, but it’s a blink in legal battles. Evidence fades, memories blur, and documentation becomes a mountain. This isn’t just about submitting a form but crafting a watertight case, making contacting an experienced slip and fall lawyer in Atlanta as soon as you can pivotal.
Do you think there’s an exception for your situation? Whether it’s age or another legal bind that delayed you, banking on finding a loophole is risky. Every case is scrutinized on merits, and the courts aren’t handing out passes just because.
The takeaway? Delaying is your worst enemy. Engaging a slip and fall accident attorney promptly keeps you within the legal timeframe and strengthens your claim. When dealing with insurers, timing isn’t just important — it’s everything.
Gathering Evidence
To build a strong case, you’ll need the following substantial evidence:
- Police documentation: Official reports can provide an authoritative account of the incident, lending credibility to your claim.
- Medical records: These documents show the extent of your injuries and the treatments received, establishing a direct link between the accident and your medical condition.
- Eyewitness statements: Testimonies from those who witnessed the accident can offer invaluable perspectives, supporting your version of events.
- Photo/video evidence: Visuals capture the scene during the accident, providing concrete proof of conditions and contributing factors.
Getting all of this evidence together in the aftermath of your accident can be challenging, which is why we’ll completely remove the burden from you and gather the needed evidence so you can focus on your recovery.
