The Problem

You’re hurt โ€” and the property owner is pretending it never happened.

External Problem

You slipped, tripped, or fell on someone else’s property in Atlanta or Georgia. A wet floor with no warning, a broken stair, a dark parking lot. Now you’re facing a broken hip, sprained wrist, head injury, or spinal damage โ€” and the owner’s insurer is already calling it your fault.

Internal Problem

You feel embarrassed. People don’t take slip and fall victims seriously โ€” like you’re clumsy or exaggerating. You’re frustrated the owner who created the hazard is acting like nothing happened, and you’re worried it’s your word against theirs.

Philosophical Problem

Owners who invite the public onto their premises have a duty to keep those spaces safe. When they cut corners and someone gets hurt, they should be held accountable. Negligence isn’t an accident. It’s a choice.

The Villain

Property owners who knew โ€” and did nothing.

Slip and fall cases come down to one question: did the owner know about the hazard, or should they have? Almost always, the answer is yes โ€” and the evidence destruction starts the moment you hit the floor.

Grocery & Retail Stores

Mopping without wet floor signs, spills ignored for hours, merchandise blocking aisles, liquid on the floor โ€” and surveillance footage that conveniently ‘overwrites’ within 14 days.

Apartment Complexes

Broken stairs, poor lighting, damaged walkways. Tenants report these hazards repeatedly. Management ignores them โ€” until someone falls and the maintenance log gets sanitized.

Restaurants & Bars

Grease on kitchen floors, uneven flooring, cluttered pathways, transition strips left loose. Cost-cutting on maintenance creates predictable injuries to invitees.

Parking Lots & Garages

Potholes, crumbling asphalt, no lighting, missing wheel stops. Owners delay repairs to save money โ€” then claim you ‘should have been watching where you were going.’

Meet Your Guide

Gunn Law Group โ€” we take falls seriously, because we’ve seen the damage.

Empathy

People dismiss slip and fall injuries. Insurers call them “minor.” We don’t. We’ve seen so-called minor falls turn into surgeries, months of rehab, and permanent disability. We take these cases seriously because we’ve seen what happens when no one else does.

Authority

Millions recovered for Georgia premises liability victims.
Deep command of Georgia premises liability law (O.C.G.A. ยง 51-3-1).
We investigate maintenance history, prior complaints, and surveillance footage.
We work with medical experts who connect the fall to the specific injury.

The Plan

Three steps from the crash to compensation.

Step 01

Free Consultation

Call 888-BIG-GUNN. We assess whether the property owner owed you a duty of care and whether they breached it. No fee unless we win.

Step 02

Preserve the Evidence

We immediately demand preservation of surveillance footage, incident reports, maintenance records, and inspection logs โ€” before they ‘disappear.’

Step 03

Hold the Owner Accountable

We build proof that the owner knew (or should have known) about the hazard and failed to fix it โ€” then demand full compensation, ready for trial if they refuse.

Georgia Premises Liability Law

The statutes that put the property owner on the hook.

Duty of Care โ€” O.C.G.A. ยง 51-3-1

Georgia property owners owe invitees (customers and other business guests) a duty of ordinary care to keep premises in a reasonably safe condition and warn of known hazards.

3-Foot Passing Law (O.C.G.A. ยง 40-6-56)

You must prove the owner had actual knowledge of the hazard โ€” or should have known through reasonable inspection. Constructive knowledge is often the key to winning these cases.

Modified Comparative Fault โ€” O.C.G.A. ยง 51-12-33

If you’re less than 50% at fault, you can still recover โ€” reduced by your share of fault. Insurers aggressively push the ‘you weren’t watching’ defense to shift blame onto you.

2-Year Statute of Limitations โ€” O.C.G.A. ยง 9-3-33

Georgia generally gives you 2 years from the fall to file a personal injury claim. Surveillance video is overwritten in weeks โ€” waiting destroys your case long before the statute runs.

Failure Stakes

What happens if you wait.

Surveillance footage is typically overwritten within 14โ€“30 days โ€” once gone, your strongest evidence is gone.
Property owners repair hazards immediately after an incident โ€” no documentation, no proof of the condition.
Georgia’s 2-year statute of limitations (O.C.G.A. ยง 9-3-33) starts running the day you fall.
Without representation, insurers will argue you were at fault for not watching where you were going.

Success Vision

What we fight for.

Medical bills covered โ€” surgery, rehabilitation, and ongoing treatment.
Lost wages and diminished earning capacity fully compensated.
The property owner forced to fix the hazard so the next person doesn’t get hurt.
Your injuries taken seriously โ€” not dismissed as ‘just a fall.’
Peace of mind knowing a negligent owner didn’t get to walk away.

Fell on someone’s property because of their negligence? Don’t let them get away with it.

FAQ

Georgia Slip and Fall Questions

How do I prove the property owner knew about the hazard?

Through prior incident reports, maintenance logs, employee statements, and surveillance footage. Even without actual knowledge, we can prove constructive knowledge โ€” the owner should have discovered the hazard through reasonable inspection. We move fast to preserve this evidence before it’s destroyed.

The store says I should have seen the spill. Doesn’t that hurt my case?

It’s the standard defense, but Georgia’s modified comparative fault rule (O.C.G.A. ยง 51-12-33) lets you recover as long as you’re less than 50% at fault. We push back on the ‘open and obvious’ argument with surveillance, lighting analysis, and the owner’s own maintenance failures.

What should I do immediately after a slip and fall?

Get medical attention, report the fall to the property owner in writing, photograph the hazard and your injuries, get witness contact information, and keep the shoes and clothing you were wearing. Then call us โ€” surveillance footage may be overwritten within two weeks.

How long do I have to file a slip and fall claim in Georgia?

Generally 2 years from the date of the fall under O.C.G.A. ยง 9-3-33. But evidence โ€” especially surveillance video and the actual hazardous condition โ€” disappears in days. The legal deadline is not the practical deadline.

What if I fell at an apartment complex where I live?

Apartment complexes owe tenants and their guests the same duty of ordinary care. If management knew about the broken stairs, dim lighting, or damaged walkway and didn’t fix it, they’re liable. We pull the maintenance work orders and tenant complaints to prove it.

Is a ‘minor’ slip and fall worth pursuing?

Insurers love to call them minor. We’ve seen so-called minor falls result in hip replacements, traumatic brain injuries, months of rehab, and permanent disability. If you needed medical care, the case is worth evaluating โ€” for free.
