One of the most common types of personal injury lawsuits is slip and fall accidents, whether at work or in a public setting.

Over one million people are forced to visit an emergency room because of a slip and fall accident each year, which is why so many businesses and organizations post yellow or orange warning signs indicating the presence of a slippery surface.

The Legality of Slip and Fall Warning Signs

Most accident victims assume that because there is a warning sign posted, the business or organization responsible for the sign is clear of any responsibility or liability.

However, the party responsible for posting the warning sign(s) is still liable for damages if their signage were placed in inadequate or inappropriate locations.

Filing A Slip and Fall Personal Injury Lawsuit

You can ask one of our Fast Help Atlanta personal injury attorneys to file a lawsuit on your behalf if you were not made immediately and entirely aware of the slippery surface responsible for your accident.

If you are walking out of a store and the entranceway is wet, if the warning sign is positioned on the opposite side of the doorway, then you were not given proper notice before encountering the hazardous environment. In other cases, if the warning sign was positioned so that it only faced people located within the store, this too is not considered to be a proper warning.

All warning signs must be placed in particular locations where everyone can clearly see its message. Otherwise, the State of Georgia does not believe that a proper warning was offered and will likely hold the business or organization responsible for any damages sustained.
