To be able to successfully recover financial compensation for your slip and fall accident claim, you will need to be able to prove that the property owner was negligent in some way in regard to maintaining, inspecting or repairing property grounds. For example, a store owner in Atlanta who fails to place a warning sign after a floor is washed may be held accountable if a customer slips and is injured.
However, the defense of contributory negligence still applies and the person bringing the claim must prove they were not negligent themselves in any way. The customer may be able to recover money for medical bills and other economic and non-economic damages, depending on the case.
