Legal Options for Slip and Fall Victims in Roswell, GA
According to O.C.G.A. § 51-3-1, the owner or occupier of a property has a duty to keep the area safe for those invited onto that property, whether their invite is explicit (e.g., they asked you to come see something on the property) or implied (e.g., they opened the doors of their store to anyone who might wish to buy something).
If an owner has failed to maintain basic levels of care that would keep their premises safe, they could be liable for the accident victim’s damages. Our slip and fall attorneys in Roswell can pursue financial compensation for the following:
- Medical care: These damages could cover the cost of prescription medications, appointments with doctors, surgeries, and other medical costs.
- Lost wages: Bader Scott could help you determine how much money you lost while recovering or taking time off to go to medical appointments.
- Reduced earning potential: A permanent disability could affect your long-term earning potential. If you can no longer perform your job as well or at all after a slip and fall injury, you may be entitled to damages.
- Loss of enjoyment: An injury that causes permanent damage could also cause you to lose the ability to participate in an activity that you once enjoyed. If an injury, for example, adversely affects your ability to take part in a favorite sport like tennis or golf, you may be entitled to damages.
- Mental anguish and pain and suffering: A slip or trip and fall accident could also cause both physical and emotional distress. If you or a loved one has suffered pain and suffering as a result of your injury, our Roswell lawyers can help determine if this entitles you to damages.

How Our Personal Injury Attorneys Can Help With Your Slip and Fall Case
When it comes to pursuing damages in your fall accident case, there is no reason to do it alone. Here is how a Roswell slip and fall lawyer from Bader Scott can assist you:
Finding Who Caused You to Fall
We can figure out which parties are liable, whether it is the property owner or the property manager. Then we find evidence that proves their liability and hold them responsible for your damages.
Building Your Premises Liability Claim
Our trip and fall lawyers dedicate all the time necessary to filing your insurance claim and building your case. This means gathering evidence, like surveillance footage and eyewitness reports, and doing everything that we can to show there was negligence. Then, we prove that this negligence caused your injury.
Filing Your Premises Liability Case
We file your case and get to work right away. According to O.C.G.A § 9-3-33, you have two years to file for damages in most personal injury cases, so Bader Scott wastes no time in submitting your case’s paperwork.
Two years may seem like a long time, but as you recover and try to get back into a regular routine, it could tick away faster than you might expect. Our fall injury lawyers can get right to work on your case and make sure that the statute of limitations does not run out on you.
Handling All Communications With the Property Owner and Other Parties
Our law firm can also handle all communications for you:
- We can talk to the parties involved and their attorneys.
- We review settlement offers and keep you updated on the latest news about your case.
- We use Seth Bader’s experience as a former insurance company lawyer to predict how the insurer might respond to your case so we can react accordingly.
You will not have to talk to anyone else about this case. If someone does contact you about a settlement or anything else, tell our attorneys in Roswell right away, and we can handle things from there.
Bader Scott can be there to handle every aspect of your slip and fall case. If we cannot reach a settlement with the insurance company, we can take your case to court and fight for your rights.

What You Need to Know About Slip and Fall Accidents
A slip and fall can happen almost anywhere, from public property to privately owned establishments. No matter where you are, there is the expectation that lawful visitors have nothing to worry about, because the property owner should have fulfilled their duty of care and done everything within their power to keep the premises free from any hazardous conditions. This duty of care may include but is not limited to:
- Fixing broken walkways
- Clearing clutter or debris from walkways
- Cleaning up spills or leaks
- Posting warnings about hazards that cannot be immediately addressed
If a property owner violates any of these duties, our Roswell fall accident attorneys can help you bring a case against them. First, however, we can make sure you understand your rights by answering legal questions like the following:
Who Owns the Property Where You Fell?
One of our first jobs will be to answer this question. For example, Article 18.1 of the Roswell Code of Ordinances indicates that the city’s Department of Transportation is responsible for maintaining city sidewalks. If you tripped on a city sidewalk, therefore, the city itself could owe you damages.
On the other hand, if you tripped in a store’s parking lot, then the store owner is probably the at-fault party.
How Hard Is it to Win a Slip and Fall Case?
Every case is different. Factors like available evidence, the number of involved parties, and the insurance company’s willingness to cooperate will all affect how long your case takes to settle.
What Should You Do After a Slip and Fall?
Get medical help right away. That should always be your first priority after a fall. If possible, take photos of the accident scene and report your injury to the property manager. Then you can speak with Bader Scott about your legal rights.
