Rome, Georgia Slip-and-Fall Injury Lawyer Rick Cromartie
Property owners are responsible for warning visitors and occupants about dangerous conditions. When a dangerous condition — such as a broken sidewalk, slippery floor, wet floor or icy sidewalk — is left unmaintained and without any warning signs, slip-and-fall injuries can occur.
The law firm of H.L. Cromartie III, P.C. represents people who have been injured by the negligence of property owners.

Understanding Georgia's Slip-and-Fall Law
In Georgia, a property owner is not necessarily liable for damages when a person slips and falls on that property. Property owners are only responsible if the slip and fall was caused by their negligence or their failure to fix the problem. They are responsible only if they knew about or should have known about the problem, or if they had a chance to repair the problem or warn people about it and failed to do so.
Our firm understands you may have questions about your slip-and-fall accident, and we are here to answer those questions.
Slip-and-fall accidents can lead to serious injuries. In very serious cases, particularly where elderly people are concerned, these accidents can result in fatalities. Falling objects can also cause injury at retails shops when merchandise has been stacked too high or placed improperly.
