Probably the biggest misconception encountered by personal injury lawyers in Atlanta and elsewhere is regarding slip and fall injuries. Most assume that whenever they injure themselves on another’s property, the other person is automatically responsible for paying medical bills and pain and suffering damages. Actually, you must still prove that the landowner (or store owner) was negligent. To do this, you must prove either that the landowner knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to fix it. Oftentimes, this can be quite difficult to prove. It is much more difficult to prove than, say, proving who was at fault in an auto accident.

It is imperative that you contact an experienced personal injury lawyer when you are faced with a slip and fall injury. Sometimes little facts, that over time you may forget, are extremely important. If you or a loved-one is injured in a slip and fall accident, call us today at (404) 522-1616.
