FAQs About Atlanta Slip and Fall Legal Claims

Can I still file a claim if I didn’t report the fall immediately?

Yes. While reporting right away can help, you may still have a case. We can investigate and look for other supporting evidence.

What do I need from the business after a slip and fall?

If possible, get a copy of any incident report, photos or video footage of the hazard, and names of witnesses. If you couldn’t, our legal team can work to obtain this information for you.

Do I have a case if another customer caused the fall—not an employee?

Possibly. Businesses can still be responsible if they failed to address a hazard created by another customer in a reasonable amount of time. Employees have been known to ignore hazards that customers created. This is a form of negligence that will often make the business liable for a mistake made by a customer.

Is it possible to have a slip and fall claim from a fall that takes place outside?

Yes. Parking lots, sidewalks, and outdoor walkways must be kept safe. If poor maintenance or hazards caused your fall, you may have a claim.

Can other witnesses be used in a slip and fall claim in Georgia?

Absolutely. Witnesses can confirm what happened and strengthen your case.

Can poor lighting make a business liable for a slip and fall?

Yes. Poor lighting can hide hazards and make areas unsafe for visitors, creating liability for the property owner.
