Proving Liability in South Carolina Slip and Fall Cases
Slip and fall injury incidents are also called premises liability accidents. This is because the party tasked with managing the safety of the premises – or property – where the fall occurred is generally legally liable.
We will need to prove who is responsible for the property, which could include:
- The property owner
- A lessee
- Another type of property occupier
Then, we will need to identify the hazard that caused your fall. Examples include:
- Items in the walkway
- Uneven floors
- Spills or leaks
- Tracked water
- Rolled carpet or broken tile
- Uneven stairs
- Poor lighting
Establishing How Long a Danger Existed on the Property is Critical to a Slip and Fall Case
Once we know what caused the fall, we must show that the liable party knew or should have known about the hazard. This is often the most difficult part of proving a fall or slip injury case in South Carolina. Our team from Anastopoulo Law Firm knows what it takes to build a strong case. We gather evidence to show the liable party is accountable.
Only after we have this evidence can we file your insurance claim or sue the liable party. This allows us to present evidence to support your case and ask the property owner to compensate you for your damages. We handle cases throughout the greater Pee Dee region.
This includes falls that occur in:
- Stores
- Restaurants
- Shops
- Parking lots
- Private homes
- Other businesses
- Public parks
- Sports stadiums
- Theaters

You Have Three Years to Hold a South Carolina Property Owner Liable in a Slip and Fall Incident
In most cases, S.C. Ann. § 15-3-530 provides fall victims or their families up to three years to sue the liable parties in a premises liability case, no matter if it is a personal injury or wrongful death action. However, exceptions exist. You may have less time in some cases.
We Recommend Starting on Your Case As Soon As Possible
Additionally, we need to find and preserve the evidence in your case as soon as possible. This is because some of it could disappear quickly. For example, surveillance video of your slip or fall may only last for a few weeks unless we notify the camera owner—which could be the liable party—and preserve it as evidence.
The sooner we can get to work on your case, the better. This gives us plenty of time to investigate, develop a solid argument, and negotiate with the insurer. This may allow us to avoid a lawsuit and settle out of court for a fair and just amount.
Nevertheless, suppose the responsible party does not offer a satisfactory settlement for you to get your life back on track. In that case, your personal injury lawyer in Myrtle Beach will represent you in court. The court might issue a summary judgment in your favor after hearing all the evidence. Another thing you should know is that our law firm also has a solid reputation for fighting aggressively for our injured clients’ rights or their family members during settlement negotiations and trials. In other words, you can be sure we will put all our resources to work, so you get the compensation you deserve.
