Slip & Fall claims in Savannah

River Street is paved in ballast stones and old brick. The stairs down from Bay Street are steep and uneven by design, the surfaces stay wet in the morning, and a historic building can be properly maintained and still be hard to walk on. That is exactly where Georgia premises cases get argued. The duty runs to hazards the occupier knew about and had a fair chance to fix, so the details decide it. What was on the ground, and how long had it been there? Report the fall that day. Ask the business for the incident number before you go anywhere else.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I get a crash report in Savannah?

It depends on where you were. Inside the city limits the Savannah Police Department normally works the wreck; outside them it's usually the Chatham County Police Department, and on I-95 or I-16 the Georgia State Patrol. Georgia crash reports all use the same statewide form, and the agency that filed yours releases the copy. Get the case number at the scene if you can.

Which court would hear an injury case from a Savannah crash?

The Chatham County State and Superior Courts. Georgia state court generally handles ordinary car and truck injury suits, and superior court takes the heavier ones. If the at-fault driver or a motor carrier is based in another county, venue can move. An attorney licensed in Georgia will tell you where your suit actually belongs.

I was hit on foot near one of the downtown squares. Does the same law apply?

Yes. Georgia's at-fault rule covers people on foot the same way it covers drivers, and the driver's insurer pays if the driver was to blame. The 50% bar applies to you too, so expect questions about where you crossed and what the signal said. Downtown's one-way grid and mid-block crossings give an adjuster a lot to work with. Say what happened, and nothing you're guessing at.

How long do I have to file an injury claim in Georgia?

In Georgia, the deadline is generally 2 years from the date of the accident. 2 years personal injury; 2 years wrongful death; property damage 4 years. Deadlines are strict — the sooner you act, the more options you have.
