In the State of South Carolina, property owners have a duty to keep their properties safe and well-maintained to protect guests, customers, and visitors from harm. It applies to everyone who owns a property including, but not limited to, commercial business owners, private home owners, industrial companies, non-profits organizations.  When property owners are negligent, it can result in someone being injured in a slip and fall.

When a property owner fails to fulfill their duty of care, people are at risk to slip and fall accidents, which can result in serious injuries such as head trauma, spinal cord damage and broken bones. Some victims may suffer from temporary or permanent disability, and in the worst case scenario, it can result in a wrongful death.

Depending on the severity of the slip and fall accident and injuries incurred, the victim may unexpectedly have to bear a huge financial expense that comes with high medical expenses.  Some examples of these expenses are hospitalization, surgery, physical therapy, in-home care, and rehabilitation. Other expenses include, lost wages, vocational training, especially if the injury from a slip and fall accident prevents the victim from returning to their previous job and the emotional pain and trauma that the victim has to deal with. All this can disrupt the quality of life of the victim and cripple them financially.

Seek Immediate Legal Representation after a Slip and Fall Accident

Although, according to the premises liability law in South Carolina, property owners are liable to fulfill their legal duty of property maintenance.  They can’t be charged guilty always, unless the victim proves that the accident occurred because of the property owner’s failure to fulfill their duty of care.  This is exactly why you need legal representation.

Proving premises liability is difficult, especially when it is not clear, whether a hazard existed on the premises or not.  Was the fall due to the property owner’s negligence?  Or did the victim not pay attention to their surroundings?

At Burnside Law Firm, our attorneys will investigate your case in-depth. We’ll visit the accident scene for evidence collection, to answer crucial questions like how it occurred, what were the causes, and who is liable for the accident. We’ll negotiate a fair settlement with the insurance company.  If they fail to agree, then we’ll take your case to court for trial. At Burnside Law Firm, our goal is to get you a full and fair compensation. Settling for less or a low ball offer is not an option.
