Legal Question in Personal Injury in Georgia

Re: personal injury-slip and fall

I am from NJ orginally and have been in GA since 1973. I have contact with the Wilentz firm in NJ and practice personal injury work in GA.

You have two years from Feb. 2008 to settle your case or file suit. Was it a local hotel or national chain? How did the injury occur and what did the hotel do wrong that caused your injury?

Re: personal injury-slip and fall

The good news is that the hotel may be subject to jurisdiction in NJ as well as GA. And, typically, a plaintiff will want to file in State Court, and not Federal, but that's a decision your attorneys will make. We handle cases like this all the time. Feel free to give us a call at 267.639.3105. [email protected]. No fee for consultation. Look forward to talking to you.

Re: personal injury-slip and fall

The answer to your question will require some more information. There are significant likelihoods that the case can be handled in NJ, but that will depend on who owns the hotel and their relationship to NJ. On the other hand, if there is no relationship between NJ and the hotel, then you will probably need an attorney in GA.

The best way to make this determination is with a free consultation to discuss this. Please call me on Monday morning and we can help determine if you can use a local attorney or one htere. In either case, we will be able to assist you. Call at 800-34-NJ-LAW, I will be in the office after 9 am. Hope I can help.

Re: personal injury-slip and fall

if this is a National chain, you most likely will have jurisdiction in Federal Court and will not need a GA lawyer

Re: personal injury-slip and fall

Hello - I am sorry to hear about what happened. If you want to file against the hotel you must file in the jurisdiction in which the hotel "resides". This would mean that you would need a Georgia attorney to file the lawsuit. As far as State or Federal Court that would be a decision made based on several factors. I would be glad to discuss this matter further if you would like to contact my office. David Lipton
