A serious slip and fall in Marietta can leave a person with a broken bone, a head injury, or a spinal injury. Under Georgia law, a property owner or occupier may be liable when a failure to use ordinary care keeps the property unsafe and causes that harm. This guide to slip and fall Marietta claims explains how the rules work, how time limits apply, and what evidence may matter. It is general information, not advice about your case.<\/p>\n

What Counts as a Serious Slip and Fall Injury in Marietta<\/h2>\n

A serious slip and fall injury is one that needs real medical treatment, such as a fracture, a head injury, a spinal injury, hospital care, or surgery. A slip happens when a person loses footing on a wet, slick, or uneven surface. A trip happens when a foot catches on something, such as a raised edge, a cord, or a step.<\/p>\n

Falls can happen in stores, apartment buildings, office lobbies, parking garages, and private walkways. The firm focuses on serious injuries with real medical treatment, so minor falls without medical care fall outside this page.<\/p>\n

Injuries from falls can include fractures, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal cord injuries. Prompt medical evaluation creates a dated record of the injury. It also helps a doctor find problems that are not obvious right away. Some symptoms appear later, so tell your provider everything about the fall, even if it seemed minor. Medical decisions belong to your doctor, not to this page.<\/p>\n\n

How Georgia Premises Liability Law Applies to a Fall<\/h2>\n

Georgia premises liability law asks whether a property owner failed to use ordinary care to keep the property safe for visitors. Lawyers call a person invited onto property for a lawful purpose an invitee. Under O.C.G.A. \u00a7 51-3-1<\/a>, an owner or occupier who invites people onto its premises is liable for injuries caused by its failure to exercise ordinary care in keeping the premises and approaches safe.<\/p>\n

The key question is what the owner did, or failed to do, to find and fix hazards and warn people about them. A fall claim usually asks a few questions. Did the owner owe you a duty of care? Did it fail to meet that duty? Did that failure cause your fall, and did the fall cause your injuries?<\/p>\n

The answers depend on the facts of each fall. What the owner knew or should have known about the hazard, how long it was there, and whether a warning was posted may all matter.<\/p>\n
