FAQ: What do I have to prove in a Georgia slip and fall case?
Falling on someone else's property doesn't automatically mean the property owner is responsible.
In Georgia, a successful slip and fall claim generally requires showing that a dangerous condition existed, the property owner or occupier knew or should have known about it, and they failed to correct the hazard or provide an adequate warning within a reasonable amount of time. You must also connect that negligence directly to your injuries.
That makes evidence especially important. Photos, surveillance footage, witness accounts, maintenance records, and information about how long the hazard existed can help answer a critical question: **Did the property owner have a reasonable opportunity to prevent what happened?**
At Van Sant Law, we look beyond the fall itself to investigate the circumstances that led to it. Because proving a premises liability case often comes down to the details.
