Table Of Contents

    Injuries caused by slipping or tripping on hazardous surfaces are a reality of everyday life. In most cases, property owners have an obligation to maintain the safety of their premises. When a property owner’s negligence results in hazardous conditions that cause injuries, injured parties can and should seek compensation.

To discuss your case with us for free, please call our office today at 912-349-7028. Our team of licensed and experienced attorneys will help you get the answers and compensation you deserve. We’re the team to call for cases involving premises liability in Georgia or South Carolina.

    Settlements ‍After a Slip and Fall Injury

    Settlement amounts in Georgia slip and fall cases vary dramatically based on injury severity, medical expenses, lost wages, and the degree of property owner negligence. Minor injuries requiring only emergency room treatment might settle for thousands of dollars, while cases involving broken bones, head injuries, or permanent disabilities can result in six or seven-figure recoveries.

    Factors that increase settlement value include clear evidence of negligence, significant ongoing medical treatment, permanent scarring or disfigurement, and loss of earning capacity. Our experienced legal team provides realistic assessments of your case value and fights aggressively to ensure you receive fair compensation.

    We never recommend accepting the insurance company’s first offer, which is typically far below what your case is actually worth.

    Janet A

    I had wasted over 5 years with another firm without any significant results. I fired the previous firm and within 18 months The Cornwell Firm completed my case with higher than expected results for me and my family. The previous firm had wasted years of my time and caused me a great deal of stress. I highly recommend The Cornwell firm.
