If you were injured in a slip and fall accident in Atlanta you must take legal action as soon as possible. A slip and fall injury can be minor in some cases, and life-changing in others. Some slip and fall accidents can cause paralysis or traumatic brain injuries, requiring years of ongoing medical costs. The property manager or property owner should always maintain the safety of their property. If a property owner does not follow safety protocols or fails to uphold certain safety standards and you suffer an injury on their property, you may be entitled to compensation.
At the Hines Law Firm, an Atlanta slip and fall lawyer has the knowledge and experience needed to build a strong case to help you recover the compensation you’re owed for an accident that was caused by a negligent property owner.
