Slip & Fall Injuries

Property owners in Georgia have a legal duty to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition and to warn visitors of known hazards. When they fail to meet this duty and someone is injured as a result, the property owner can be held liable for the victim's damages under Georgia's premises liability statute (O.C.G.A. § 51-3-1).

Attorney Brent Sherota — a member of the State Bar of Georgia since 2008 — represents slip and fall victims across Metropolitan Atlanta. He understands that these cases require thorough investigation, including obtaining surveillance footage, maintenance records, and incident reports before the property owner can destroy or conceal them.

Insurance companies routinely try to minimize or deny premises liability claims by arguing the hazard was "open and obvious" or that the victim was not exercising reasonable care. An experienced personal injury attorney knows how to counter these defenses and build a compelling case for full compensation.
