Slip-and-Fall Injury Lawyers in Dallas, GA

What Is a Slip and Fall Injury?

A slip and fall injury is an injury that occurs when a person slips, trips, or stumbles and falls, sustaining an injury, on another person or business's property. 

For example, it’s common for someone to trip over torn carpet, a wet floor, an icy sidewalk or a step he or she couldn’t see due to poor lighting. Loose railings, uneven floorboards or ill-maintained flooring can also cause slip and fall injuries. Injuries can range from sprains and strains to broken bones, cuts, head injuries and more.

Proving Liability

When you get hurt in a slip and fall incident, you can seek compensation to cover your medical bills and make up for any time you took off work to heal from your injury. 

To win compensation, however, you have to prove liability. 

In order to do this, you must show that the owner of the property on which you were injured failed to exercise ordinary care in the maintenance of his or her property. 

For instance, maybe the property owner should have repaired the torn carpet or replaced a light bulb to make an area easier to see. Perhaps he or she should have scraped the ice or snow off the sidewalk or put up a sign to warn everyone the floor was wet. If you can prove that the injury could have been prevented if the property owner had been more careful, you have a chance of winning a slip and fall injury case.
