GEORGIA AND FLORIDA SLIP & FALL ACCIDENT LAWYER
The law holds that the owner or occupier of land or business is liable for some injuries that occur on his or her premises. Landowners must use ordinary care to keep their premises safe.
When landowners use their property for commercial purposes, they owe their paying guests the highest duty of care. For example, if someone slips and falls in a grocery store due to a dangerous condition, the store owner or occupier will very likely be liable for the injuries.
WHAT TO DO AFTER A SLIP & FALL ACCIDENT:

COMPLETE A REPORT.
If you were a victim of a slip and fall it is important that you complete a report prior to leaving the premises. Ensure you get the names and contact information of all witnesses. Get a copy of the incident report prior to leaving if possible.
