Slip and Fall Accidents

Legal Representation in Slip and Fall Cases

Because of changes in the law, slip and fall accident claims are among the most difficult types of personal injury cases to win. Now, you have to prove that the owner of the property knew of the danger or that they should have known, and that they did nothing about it. As you might imagine, proving that someone "knew or should have known" something is not an easy task.

But that does not mean it cannot be done.

If you or a family member has been injured in a slip and fall accident of any type, contact Nelson & Smith in Macon to schedule a free consultation with an experienced lawyer.

At Nelson & Smith, LLC, the experience we have with falling accidents combined with the hard work and dedication we put into every case means that we have what it takes to handle even the toughest cases to win; something our results can attest to.

Slip and fall, or trip and fall personal injury claims may include accidents caused by:

  • Sidewalk defects or flooring defects
  • Stairways or steps not constructed to code
  • Slippery floors
  • Obstructions

Whether the accident happened in a grocery store, a retail store, a liquor store, or a corner store, our firm will take an aggressive, trial-oriented approach to your case and begin to investigate immediately. This ensures that we will be fully prepared for trial if it becomes necessary, AND it improves our chances of negotiating a fair settlement on your behalf without the delay, expense, or unpredictable outcomes a trial can produce.

This process can take some time. However, you can count on the fact that we will be here for you from beginning to end and that we are ready and willing to help in many other ways. Whether that means dealing with bill collectors, finding qualified health care providers, or simply returning your phone calls promptly—we will do what we can to minimize any apprehension or anxiety you may have.
