Frequently asked questions
What do I have to prove in a South Carolina slip and fall case?
Generally that the property owner knew or should have known about a hazard and failed to fix it or warn about it, and that this caused your injury. An independent attorney we refer you to can evaluate whether the facts support a claim.
What if the store says the fall was my fault?
Under South Carolina's 51% bar you can still recover as long as you were not more than 50% responsible, though your award is reduced by your share. An independent South Carolina attorney we connect you with can push back on an inflated fault claim.
How long do I have to file an injury claim in South Carolina?
In South Carolina, the deadline is generally 3 years from the date of the accident. 3 years personal injury; wrongful death 3 years. Deadlines are strict — the sooner you act, the more options you have.
