As you very well know, and as Peachtree City slip and fall attorney Shane Smith explains in this video, you can slip and fall nearly anywhere. However, a slip and fall is not always a cut and dry case. It frequently depends on where you fell.
Certain types of areas are better for the injured person for recovering compensation than others. A lot of times, department stores, grocery stores, and gas stations are ideal locations—any time it’s inside of premises. However, when you step outside of a store into a parking lot, it’s a slightly different type of case.
When you’re outside of premises, it’s considered to be more of a static defect. A static defect applies where there’s some type of damage to the area that doesn’t change very quickly, but it's stationary. Different rules apply in a static defect case versus a slip and fall case, which is why it’s imperative to hire an attorney who knows the difference.
