Experienced Representation for Slip and Fall Claims
A slip and fall can cause far more serious injuries than many people expect, from broken bones to head trauma that requires months of recovery. At Howe.Law Injury and Accident Lawyers, we help people injured on dangerous property throughout Georgia, Tennessee, and Mississippi pursue compensation from the owners and businesses responsible. These premises liability claims are often harder to prove than they look, because property owners and their insurers routinely argue that the hazard was obvious or that you were not paying attention.
We understand what it takes to establish that a property owner knew or should have known about a dangerous condition and failed to fix it. Building that proof quickly, before conditions change and evidence disappears, is essential to a successful claim.
Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents
These accidents usually result from a property owner ignoring a known hazard or failing to inspect and maintain the property. Common causes include:
- Wet or freshly mopped floors without warning signs
- Uneven flooring, torn carpet, and loose mats
- Poor lighting in stairwells and walkways
- Broken or missing handrails on stairs
- Cracked sidewalks, potholes, and parking lot defects
- Spilled liquids and debris left in aisles
Common Slip and Fall Injuries
A sudden fall gives the body no time to brace, which is why these accidents so often cause significant harm. We represent clients with broken hips and wrists, torn ligaments, shoulder injuries, herniated discs, concussions and traumatic brain injuries, and spinal injuries. For older adults in particular, a fall can lead to complications that permanently affect independence and quality of life.
How We Build Your Slip and Fall Case
We work fast to preserve evidence, obtaining surveillance video, incident reports, and photographs of the hazard before it is repaired or cleaned up. We identify who was responsible for maintaining the property, gather witness accounts, and document your injuries and their impact on your daily life. We then handle negotiations with the property owner's insurance company and are fully prepared to take your case to court if a fair settlement is not offered.

Damages You May Be Entitled To Recover
Depending on the specifics of your case, we may be able to help you recover compensation for:
Frequently Asked Questions
What do I have to prove in a slip and fall case?
To recover compensation, you generally must show that the property owner had a duty to keep the premises reasonably safe, that a dangerous condition existed, that the owner knew or should have known about it and failed to fix it or warn you, and that the hazard caused your injuries. Property owners often argue that the danger was open and obvious or that you were careless. Our attorneys gather the evidence needed to establish each of these elements and to counter the defenses insurers commonly raise.
The property owner says the hazard was obvious. Can I still recover?
Possibly. Georgia, Tennessee, and Mississippi follow comparative fault rules, which means your compensation can be reduced by your share of responsibility, but being partly at fault does not automatically bar your claim. Even if a hazard seems obvious, the owner may still be liable if they created the danger, failed to maintain the property, or did not provide adequate warning. These arguments are exactly why having an attorney matters. We work to establish the owner's responsibility and to minimize any blame the insurer tries to shift onto you.
How long do I have to file a slip and fall claim?
The deadline depends on where the fall happened. Georgia generally allows two years from the date of injury, Tennessee can be as short as one year, and Mississippi generally allows three years. These deadlines are strict, and slip and fall cases depend heavily on evidence like surveillance video that can be erased within days or weeks. Contacting an attorney promptly protects both your filing deadline and the proof needed to hold the property owner accountable.
What should I do after a slip and fall?
Report the fall to the property owner or manager and ask that an incident report be created, then request a copy. Take photos of what caused you to fall and the surrounding area, including any missing warning signs. Get the names and contact information of any witnesses. Seek medical attention right away, both for your health and to document your injuries. Avoid giving a recorded statement to the property's insurer, and contact an attorney before accepting any settlement offer.
How much does a slip and fall lawyer cost?
Howe.Law represents slip and fall clients on a contingency fee basis, so you pay nothing upfront and owe no attorney fees unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of the compensation we recover, which means we only get paid when you do. This lets you pursue a strong claim against a business and its insurance company without any financial risk. Your initial case evaluation is always free and carries no obligation.

We represent injury victims across Georgia, Tennessee, and Mississippi in a wide range of accident and injury cases.

Richard was extremely helpful, and even though my case wasn't the best fit for his firm, he took extra time to give me direction and clarity to help me with the next steps... Far beyond what he needed to. I'm extremely grateful I contacted his firm.
I had a question about a collection we are going through and Richard himself answered the call and provided a lot of insight to what our next steps would be at no charge. I highly recommend this firm. They are here to help.
I was in a vulnerable state after my accident and appreciated Nathalie for listening, being compassionate and offering guidance. I am truly grateful I called. Thank you so much!
I was really stressed about everything and didn't know where to start but the team took the time to walk me through each step and made sure I understood what was happening.
