Our Slip and Fall Accident Lawyers in Augusta Hold Responsible Parties Liable
Identifying who is liable (responsible) is a key part of seeking compensation for your injuries. When it comes to slip and fall accidents, it usually comes down to whether the property owner failed to keep a property safe.
If a person or business knew (or should have known) about a hazard and didn’t fix it, they could potentially be held responsible for the injuries that followed. Some examples of dangerous conditions on a property that might lead to accidents include:
- Wet floors without warning signs
- Broken stairs or handrails
- Poor lighting in parking lots or walkways
- Cracks or potholes in sidewalks
- Cluttered aisles in stores
Depending on where and how the fall happened, different people or companies could be involved, like:
- A business manager
- A store owner
- Property management company
- A city, county, or state agency
- Landlord or homeowner
- A tenant
For example, if someone slipped on an uneven city sidewalk while walking downtown near Broad Street, our lawyers could help review the situation and explain if the city or another party might be responsible.

Understanding Your Deadlines to Seek Compensation for Your Injuries and Losses
If you’re thinking about filing a lawsuit after a slip and fall, it’s really important to know there’s a deadline. Since every case is different, it’s a good idea to get clear information about your timeline early on so you don’t miss your chance to act.
For most personal injury cases in Georgia, you typically have two years from the date of your accident to file, according to O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. That might sound like a lot of time, but it can go by quickly when you’re focused on medical treatment and getting life back on track.
However, if your injury happened on government property, like a city sidewalk or a public building, you might have much less time. Claims against a state, county, or city have shorter deadlines.
If you’re unsure about how much time you have to file, slip and fall accident lawyers in Augusta from our legal team can help you understand the deadlines that apply to your case. Contact us for a free consultation to learn more.
