A fall on someone else's property can cause broken bones, a head injury, or a back injury that keeps you out of work for months. In Macon, these falls happen at the shops and restaurants downtown and along Riverside Drive, in apartment and office complexes, and in the parking lots and stairwells that owners are supposed to keep safe. At Howe.Law Injury & Accident Lawyers, we hold property owners accountable across the Macon area.
Georgia's two-year deadline
Georgia gives an injured person two years from the date of the fall to file a lawsuit under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. In a fall case the evidence is especially perishable, because the hazard is usually cleaned up within minutes and surveillance video is often overwritten within days. We move quickly to preserve the footage, the incident report, and the condition that caused your fall.
What you have to prove in a Georgia premises case
Under O.C.G.A. § 51-3-1, a property owner owes visitors a duty of ordinary care to keep the premises safe. Georgia premises cases generally turn on the owner's superior knowledge of the hazard, meaning we must show the owner knew or should have known about the danger and that you did not. We investigate how long the hazard existed and what the owner knew, using maintenance logs, prior complaints, and video to establish that knowledge.
Georgia's fifty percent rule in a fall case
Under O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33, you recover nothing if you are found fifty percent or more at fault, and your recovery is reduced by your share below that line. Property owners routinely argue that the hazard was open and obvious or that you were not watching where you walked. We gather the evidence that shows the danger was not obvious and that the owner failed in its duty, so fault stays where it belongs.
Serving injured visitors across Middle Georgia
Our Macon team represents people injured in falls across Bibb, Houston, Monroe, Jones, Crawford, Peach, and Twiggs counties. We serve people hurt in Macon, Warner Robins, Perry, Forsyth, Gray, Byron, and the surrounding communities.
Preserving evidence and filing your case
The most important early step is a written incident report and a demand that the property owner preserve its surveillance video before it is overwritten. We help you document your injuries and the hazard, obtain your medical records, and when a fair settlement cannot be reached, we file your lawsuit in Bibb County State Court, with high-value claims heard in Bibb County Superior Court.

Common questions
The store says the spill had only just happened. Does that end my claim?
Not necessarily. How long a hazard existed and what the owner knew are central questions, and a store cannot simply assert the spill was momentary. We look for video, staff schedules, and prior complaints to determine how long the danger was there and whether the owner should have caught it.
I fell in an apartment complex common area. Who is responsible?
The owner or management company responsible for maintaining the common areas can be liable when a hazard they knew or should have known about causes your fall. We identify the responsible party and pursue the claim against them.
What should I do right after a fall?
Report it to the owner or manager in writing, photograph the hazard and your injuries, get the names of any witnesses, and seek medical care. Then contact us quickly so we can demand the surveillance video before it is erased.
Cases We Handle
We represent injury victims across Georgia, Tennessee, and Mississippi in a wide range of accident and injury cases.
