Maximizing Financial Compensation in Slip and Fall Cases for Victims Injured in Augusta and throughout Georgia – call our Augusta slip and fall lawyers for a free consultation.
Slip and fall is a term of art and one type of premises liability case that refers to various common injuries that people suffer on public, private, residential, and commercial property. Specifically, it is a tort-based on a claim by a Plaintiff that the property owner was negligent in allowing some dangerous condition to exist that caused the fall and the injury to the Plaintiff.
The classic slip and fall case looks something like this:
George visits his local grocery store. While shopping, he slips on a puddle of shampoo that had leaked from an open bottle on the shelf. The slip causes George to fall. He hits his head, suffering a mild concussion, tissue damage in his neck, and a fractured bone in his arm.
Can George sue the store owner for his injuries? In most cases, yes.
In fact, the store will likely be responsible for paying for all of George’s damages, which might include:
Why is the grocery store held responsible? Georgia expects every property owner in this state to maintain safe premises. However, the grocer is not always responsible as other factors are considered besides George’s fall.
In other words, most property owners have a duty to keep you safe while you’re on their premises. This duty falls within an area of personal injury law called premises liability.

In the example above, we described a grocery store slip and fall. While those are common, the truth is that slip and fall accidents happen everywhere. Most types of property – including public, private, commercial, and residential – are subject to certain premises liability restrictions.
Our Georgia slip and fall lawyers can assist with injuries that occur at or on:
Two clients who were special needs students were being hit and abused by the paraprofessionals in a public school system. T.

Madden & Associates continues fighting for the policy limits of the remaining defendants; over $10 MILLION.
A father and son had a terrible valentine day when they found themselves the victim of a trucking collision. T. Madden & Associates initiated the case which led to the clients receiving over 3.25 MILLION Dollars.

T. Madden & Associates, P.C. was able to bring justice and $1,050,000 for a couple when nobody could tell them how their son wound up at the bottom of a swimming pool. Many think if nobody saw how the drowning happened, then there can’t be a monetary recovery. T. Madden & Associates would not accept that as a proper response. A wrong occurred and this law firm made the defendant’s pay.
Three persons were involved in a collision with a Marta bus in a case of distracted driving. The public trial resulted in a $960K recovery for the 3 victims.
Most slip and fall hazards can be prevented or cured through the owner’s exercise of ordinary prudence and care. Still, to guard yourself when out in public or visiting someone else’s property, it’s helpful to understand how these accidents tend to happen.
Some of the most common slip and fall hazards include:
These are only examples. Virtually any property condition that causes you to slip, trip, or fall could support an injury claim, provided the owner knew about it or should have known about it.
Sometimes, property owners can be liable for slip and fall even if they were trying to keep the premises clean. For example, if a retail employee uses the wrong cleaning chemicals on a sales floor, it could create a dangerously slippery surface long after the product has dried. Retailers and other property owners have a duty to maintain their premises properly and to train their employees to respond to safety issues the right way.
