Let an Attorney Take the Lead on Your Slip & Fall Case
Our attorneys will take the lead on your case. Seth Bader began his career representing insurance companies. He knows how they think, how they operate, and how they litigate cases. Now, he puts that knowledge to work for injured people in Duluth.
When insurance companies offer lowball settlements, we fight back. In one premises liability case, a client came to us from another law firm after the insurance company was offering less than $35,000.
We filed for litigation and conducted depositions, and the insurance company increased its offer to $300,000. See our case results page for more stories of how we’ve helped injured Georgians get the money they need and deserve after an injury.

What Compensation Can a Duluth Slip and Fall Attorney Recover for You?
A slip and fall can cause many types of injuries, including broken bones and spinal cord trauma. It is the responsibility of the property owner (and anyone they hire to act on their behalf) to keep their property in a safe enough condition that their employees, visitors, customers, and others can move without fear of injury.
Failure to do so can make them liable for losses such as:
- Pain and Suffering: The toll the accident has taken on your physical and emotional well-being.
- Disability: Any temporary or permanent injury that prevents you from functioning as you used to, which may qualify as a disability.
- Medical Treatment Costs: You could be reimbursed for medical bills, ranging from hospital stays and physical therapy to prescription medication and mileage to and from appointments.
- Loss of Wages: Some injuries are so severe that they prevent you from fulfilling your regular job duties until they heal. If this is the case for you, you can ask the liable party to make up the difference in your wages.
- Loss of Earning Capacity: If your injuries are so serious that you will never be able to work as much as you used to, we can pursue compensation for your diminished earning capacity.
This is only a partial list of compensation you could qualify for after a slip and fall accident. An attorney from Bader Scott Injury Lawyers will listen to your story to understand the extent of your losses.
We will advocate for the maximum compensation you are eligible for.

How Do Slips and Falls Happen?
While anyone can suffer a slip and fall accident, specific populations may be at greater risk than others. For instance:
- Hospital Workers: The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) reports that hospital workers are at increased risk of slip and fall accidents because they spend much of their time in crowded, compact, and dynamic environments.
- Older Adults: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that older adults are especially susceptible to falls, as over a quarter of all adults over the age of 65 will fall each year.
- Construction Workers: The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that slip and fall accidents are the number one cause of construction worker deaths, accounting for over 38 percent of all construction workplace fatalities in 2022.
Slip and fall accidents can occur in any number of situations, though. In fact, whether you’re at the hospital or shopping at a local supermarket, you may slip and fall after encountering these hazards:
- Spilled liquids or slick spots are not cleaned up immediately.
- Cords or wires are left lying across a walkway.
- Banisters or stairwells are left broken.
- Swimming pools do not have proper fencing or gating.
- A visible warning sign does not mark any hazard.
- Workers are not trained in mitigating and behaving around potential hazards or lack proper safety equipment.
If you believe your slip and fall accident could have been prevented, we want to hear about it. Our team can help victims of negligence recover fair compensation.
