Understanding Legal Issues Surrounding Slip & Fall Accidents

The term “slip and fall” encompasses those injuries that occur when one slips, trips, falls, or stumbles while on the property or premises of another person. Slip and fall accidents can occur at both public and private locations, and the owner of the property (or another responsible party, such as a property manager) can be held liable for the resulting injuries and damages that may arise.

However, some of the most common locations where slip and fall accidents occur include:

• Grocery stores
• Retail locations
• Private residents
• Motels and hotels
• Restaurants
• Fitness centers

In South Carolina, a business owner is not considered the insurer of a customer’s safety. However, if the owner knows about or negligently creates an unsafe condition on a property, they can be held liable for any resulting injuries from the unsafe condition. In fact, South Carolina imposes liability on a premises owner for any and all losses/injuries caused by an unsafe or dangerous condition on their premises.

Examples of Dangerous Conditions that Can Lead to Slip & Fall Accidents

An assortment of conditions on premises can give rise to a slip and fall accident.

These premises conditions include:

• Dim or poor lighting
• The presence of water or other liquid substances on the ground
• Tattered rugs and frayed carpet
• Defective elevators
• Uneven ground or flooring
• Construction zones on the premises that are dangerous and/or lack the proper warning signage
• Building and safety code violations
• Stairways presenting hazards or danger

Compensation in Slip & Fall Cases

Slip and fall cases involve the intersection of a broad range of legal issues associated with personal injury, premises liability, and insurance claims.

The party injured as a result of a slip and fall accident may be entitled to receive compensation, such as:

• Lost wages for those unable to work either permanently or temporarily because of injuries suffered
• Medical expenses, including those already incurred as well as expenses that will be required in the future
• Occupation and vocational therapy and training
• Pain and suffering

Furthermore, the insurance companies of both the injured party and the premises owner may be required to pay for the medical bills, physical therapy, and other costs associated with the resulting injuries from a slip and fall accident.
