Atlanta Slip and Fall Attorneys
Slip and fall incidents happen much more often than people think. At Kanner & Pintaluga, we are prepared to aggressively pursue maximum recovery for anyone in Atlanta who has suffered a slip, trip or fall injury on someone else’s property.
Slip and fall isn’t always straightforward, especially if it’s your word against a property owner who disputes your version of events. We know how to investigate slip and fall accidents and uncover evidence that could be vital in helping you obtain the justice you deserve.
What Do I Have to Prove in a Slip and Fall Case?
In the realm of slip and fall cases, establishing liability requires proving that the property owner or tenant knew or reasonably should have known about the hazard and had adequate time to correct it but failed to do so. Key points to consider in proving your case include:
- Knowledge of Hazard: Demonstrating that the property owner was aware of the hazardous condition is essential. This may involve uncovering evidence that clearly establishes a history of previous incidents, complaints or maintenance neglect.
- Reasonable Time to Correct: Proving the property owner had ample time to address the hazard is crucial to successful recovery. Timely reporting and documentation of the fall and injury play a pivotal role in this aspect of the case.
Our Atlanta slip and fall lawyers have extensive experience navigating these intricate details. We strive to prove every element necessary to establish negligence on the part of the property owner.
How Can a Lawyer Help You Find Evidence to Bolster Your Slip and Fall Case?
Gathering compelling evidence is paramount in slip and fall cases, and our attorneys are adept at leveraging various sources:
- Surveillance Footage: Analyzing available surveillance footage is often a key aspect of slip and fall injury investigations. Our team can identify and obtain footage that may have captured the incident.
- Witness Testimonies: Interviewing witnesses who saw the incident occur can provide crucial perspectives. Our attorneys are skilled in extracting relevant information to strengthen your case.
- Documenting Hazardous Conditions: Thoroughly documenting the hazardous conditions at the time of the incident is essential. This includes photographs, measurements and any other pertinent details that may serve as evidence.
One of the most common challenges facing people injured by slips and falls in Atlanta is difficulty finding evidence. We utilize effective investigatory practices to ensure that your case is fortified with the evidence needed to establish the property owner’s negligence.

Challenges in Slip and Fall Claims That Can Lead to Denials
Navigating a slip and fall claim comes with its share of challenges. One of the ways in which our personal injury lawyers help is by reducing the risk for claim denials. You can help your own chances of recovery by:
- Promptly Reporting the Incident: Failing to report the injury promptly can raise questions about the veracity of the claim. Be sure to request a copy of the accident report from the property owner or take other steps to document when and where your injury occurred.
- Determining Location of Injury: Clarity regarding where the injury occurred is essential. Claim denials are common when the injured person can’t prove their injury occurred on the property.
- Prompt Medical Attention: Insurance companies may use any delay in seeking medical attention as evidence that your injuries aren’t as severe as you claim.
Documentation is key after any injury – but especially in slip and fall cases. You can be your own best advocate by photographing the scene, including what caused your fall, reporting the injury to the property owner right away and seeing a doctor as soon as possible.
