Understanding Georgia’s Slip and Fall Laws
In Georgia, slip and fall cases fall under premises liability law. This area of law holds property owners and occupiers responsible for injuries that occur on their premises due to unsafe conditions. However, proving liability in these cases can be challenging. The injured party must demonstrate that the property owner knew or should have known about the hazardous condition and failed to address it.
Key Elements in a Georgia Slip and Fall Case:
- Duty of Care: Property owners in Georgia are required to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition. This includes regular inspections and prompt repairs of any hazards.
- Breach of Duty: If a property owner fails to address a known hazard or does not adequately warn visitors of the danger, they may be found negligent.
- Causation: The injured party must prove that the property owner’s negligence directly caused the slip and fall accident.
- Damages: The injured party must also demonstrate that they suffered actual damages, such as medical bills, lost income, or pain and suffering, as a result of the accident.
Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents can be caused by a variety of hazards, including:
- Wet or slippery floors
- Uneven surfaces or flooring
- Poor lighting in stairwells or hallways
- Loose or broken handrails
- Obstacles or debris in walkways
