Slip and Fall Accidents

Atlanta Slip & Fall Attorney

Slip and falls have an annual cost of $70 billion for American businesses. Each incident costs around $4,000 per worker, and even more for customers, who range from $60,000-$100,000 for each claim. These types of accidents are responsible for being the third leading cause of injury to both customers and employees, and the leading cause of death to workers.

Injured in a slip and fall accident in Atlanta? If you are one of the many workers that have been injured in a slip and fall accident, then you may be entitled to compensation from your employer. By contacting a North Georgia personal injury lawyer fromKaleita Law Firm, LLC you can ensure that your rights will be protected, no matter how large and powerful your employer may be.

What should I do after a slip and fall accident?

If you become injured from a slip and fall accident at work, then the first thing you should do is seek medical assistance. Even if your body seems to be fine, you should make sure that a doctor looks at the injury to see if there are any internal problems. The next action you should take is to photograph the scene, especially focusing on the accident area. If there were any witnesses to the fall, it is helpful to get their contact info so you can ask them to testify to the incident.

After that, report the accident to your employer, but it is important that you speak to your legal counsel before an extensive report is given. Note the date, time, and location of the fall in your report, as well as any weather conditions and other physical evidence. Lastly, you should contact Kaleita Law Firm, LLC, P.C. who can thoroughly investigate your case and surrounding circumstances to ensure that your rights are protected. Do it quickly because there is a short window of time in which an injured person can file a lawsuit for compensation by the owner of the premises.

Is my employer liable for the damages?

Believe your employer is at fault? You will need to prove one of three things:

  1. Your employer must have caused the hazard.
  2. Your employer must have known about the hazard and failed to do anything about it.
  3. Your employer should have known about the dangerous condition.

The last one can be difficult to prove since it has to do with how "reasonable" your employer was in making the premises safe. To determine this, the court might see if there was proof that he was making regular inspections or if the hazard had been there long enough for him to have known.

Another thing the court might check is if the object had a good reason for being there, or if there was a better and safer place for it to be. In addition, they might look at if there were sufficient warning signs that could have prevented the accident. Your employer has a responsibility to keep you and the premises safe from harm so accidents such as these do not occur.

If the court finds that you were somehow responsible for the accident, such as you were careless, ignored warning signs, or had no reason to be in the area, then they might find you liable. In some states, both parties can be partially liable, depending on the case. To ensure that you have a competent legal defense team behind you, get in touch with a lawyer from our firm.

    "The most humble person I have met in this profession and cares about the overall outcome."
    I was injured in the apocalypse snow storm of Atlanta in 2014, I never intended or thought I would need an attorney to assist me with all the ongoing paperwork, needed to get me through this long and draining process. In the process I was not only drained of going to therapy 5 days a week 3 hours a day, groggy from pain pills, and really no in my right mind to make good decisions, I wanted this over and done with, but when I felt being pushed into the wrong direction by insurance company, I had no choice but to start my search I logged in on a Saturday and begin emailing attorneys to see if anyone could help me. On a Sunday Mr. Kaleita called we discussed the case not even being a client yet it was an immediate trust and connection, he understood my frustration and since that day I felt he has been a guardian angel to help me in every step of the way. Even when I thought we were completed, he was such a thorough person, he not only checked once but twice and always found something overall I feel he has become my greatest attorney yet, as well as a mutual friend..the most humble person I have met in this profession and cares about the overall outcome. I would recommend him to anyone. No matter what matter you may have he has a resource in the legal field to help you get your answers. Very knowledgeable in his field
