Slip & Fall Injury Questions

Here’s what you should know if you’ve been injured in a fall on someone else’s property.

  • Do I have a valid slip and fall case?

    If your fall was caused by a hazardous condition that the property owner failed to fix, warn about, or clean up, you may have a case. These include wet floors, uneven surfaces, or poor lighting. We’ll assess whether negligence played a role and help you understand your rights.

  • What if the property owner says it was my fault?

    South Carolina uses comparative negligence, meaning you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault—so long as you were less than 51% responsible. We’ll fight to ensure the property owner’s negligence is clearly shown and your rights are protected.

  • How soon should I see a doctor after a fall?

    Immediately. Even if you feel okay, some injuries—like concussions or soft-tissue damage—aren’t obvious at first. Prompt medical care not only protects your health but strengthens your claim with clear documentation linking the fall to your injuries.

  • What should I do if there’s no incident report?

    It’s still important to document everything. Take photos, gather witness names, and write down what happened in detail while it’s fresh. Then, contact our office. We’ll help gather the additional evidence needed to pursue your case effectively.

  • Can I sue a business for a slip and fall?

    Yes. Businesses have a legal responsibility to maintain safe premises for customers. If they failed to address known hazards or failed to warn you about them, you may be able to file a personal injury claim and recover damages for your losses.
