Navigating Premises Liability Law in Greenville Slip and Fall Cases
Property owners and occupiers have certain duties under South Carolina premises liability law. Namely, they must take reasonable measures to keep their properties clear of hazards that they are aware could harm lawful visitors. Thus, if a hazard the owner knew or should have known about caused you to slip and suffer injuries, you have a right to take legal action.
Examples of such negligence include failure to take the following steps within a reasonable amount of time:
- Replace broken light bulbs in areas that are not well-lit, such as stairwells
- Repair cracked sidewalks or broken stairs
- Clean up spills or leaks
- Clean up debris
- Put up warning signs that indicate areas under construction or in need of repair
To have success in a slip and fall case, you will need to present evidence that shows the owner knew about the hazard and failed to act within a reasonable time frame. Alternatively, you could argue that enough time had passed or other circumstances had occurred that should have made them aware of the hazard. However, these arguments are not always easy to prove, which is why our firm offers to handle the process for you.
What You Could Recover for Slip and Fall Injuries in Greenville
A significant part of any negligence claim is proving that you suffered physical, financial, or emotional harm. A slip and fall could cause a variety of these damages, many of which are potentially recoverable. Depending on the extent of your injuries, we could help you seek compensation for:
- Necessary medical treatment
- Assistive medical devices, such as crutches
- Pain medication
- Wages missed during your recovery
- Pain and suffering
Other types of damages may also be recoverable. We can help you determine this and place a fair value on your case before seeking compensation.
You do Not Have Forever to Take Legal Action
Since premises liability is a type of personal injury law, slip and fall cases are subject to the deadlines in S.C. Ann. § 15-3-530. This statute gives most victims no more than three years to file the necessary paperwork and begin a lawsuit.
Certain exceptions could shorten or lengthen the time you have to take legal action, which further underscores the importance of getting started right away. Waiting to explore your legal options could put your financial recovery in jeopardy. Moreover, some evidence is time-sensitive and may disappear well before the three-year period ends. Our team can get started as soon as we complete your free initial case assessment.
