Understanding Negligence in Slip and Fall Cases
To hold a property owner accountable in a slip and fall accident, you must prove negligence. In Georgia, this involves demonstrating:
- A Duty of Care
The property owner or manager had a legal obligation to maintain a reasonably safe environment for visitors. - Breach of Duty
The property owner failed to uphold this duty by allowing a hazardous condition, such as wet floors, uneven surfaces, or poor lighting. - Causation
The hazardous condition directly caused your accident and injuries. - Damages
You suffered measurable damages, such as medical bills, lost wages, or pain and suffering, due to the accident.
Common Challenges in Proving Negligence
Proving negligence can be complex, especially in slip and fall cases. Defense strategies often include arguing that:
- The hazardous condition was “open and obvious.”
- You were distracted or not paying attention to your surroundings.
- The property owner did not have enough time to discover and fix the hazard.
Our team at Benton & Benton Law has the expertise to counter these arguments and build a compelling case for you. Learn more about our firm and our dedication to personal injury clients.

- Photos or videos of the accident scene.
- Witness statements.
- Medical records documenting your injuries.
- Maintenance or inspection records of the property.
