Atlanta Slip and Fall Attorney Holding Property Owners Accountable Across Metro Atlanta
A slip on a wet floor. A fall down broken stairs. Poor lighting in a parking lot. These accidents happen in seconds — but the injuries can last for months or years.
Under Georgia premises liability law, property owners have a legal duty to inspect their property, fix dangerous conditions, and warn visitors about hazards they know — or should know — about. When they fail to do so, they can be held financially responsible.
As an experienced Atlanta slip and fall attorney, Attorney Erwin Mark Stephens represents injury victims throughout Atlanta, Decatur, Marietta, Alpharetta, and surrounding Metro Atlanta communities.

Why Your Atlanta Wrongful Death Case Needs a Legal Advocate
Insurance companies and corporate defendants often act quickly to limit liability after a fatal accident.
You need an attorney who understands Georgia wrongful death law and how to build a strong claim.
Understanding Who Can File
Under Georgia law, the surviving spouse typically has the first right to file. If no spouse exists, children or parents may be eligible.
Proving Negligence
We must establish that another party’s negligence directly caused your loved one’s death.
Calculating Full Financial Loss
Compensation may include both the “full value of the life” and specific financial damages.
Protecting Your Family’s Future
We pursue accountability so surviving spouses and children are financially protected.
The responsible party does not simply walk away. We work to ensure accountability under the law.
What Compensation Can You Recover in a Georgia Wrongful Death Claim?
Depending on the circumstances, compensation may include:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Medical expenses incurred before death
- Loss of income and financial support
- Loss of companionship and guidance
- The full value of the decedent’s life under Georgia law
Every case is different. We evaluate both economic and non-economic losses carefully and thoroughly.
