Contact Us TodayAccording to the National Floor Safety Institute, over eight million emergency room visits are the product of a slip and fall. Additionally, slip and falls are the leading cause of workers’ compensation claims in South Carolina.
Not many people get through life without experiencing trips, stumbles, slips, and fall accidents. While some people escape with just embarrassment, thousands suffer severe injuries from slip and fall accidents. If you or your loved one has sustained injuries in an establishment due to a spillage or another person’s negligence, you’re entitled to file a personal injury claim.
Several conditions cause slip and fall accidents in South Carolina. They include:
To win the case and acquire compensation, you need to prove that the defendant acted negligently. Negligence is the failure to act with reasonable care or to meet a standard of behavior developed to protect the community against risk.
Each individual or institution in South Carolina must conduct their businesses without posing risks to society. In slip and fall accidents, this might mean maintaining and ensuring the premises don’t pose a danger to others. To recover compensation for your injuries, you must prove that:
This might sound easy, but it can be challenging, particularly if the defendant has the resources to facilitate an appropriate legal defense strategy. Therefore, working with a South Carolina slip and fall attorney is essential to help you prove that someone else’s negligence was the cause of the accident so that you can recover compensation for your injuries.
If you have sustained injuries in a slip and fall accident, seek medical treatment immediately. Aside from seeking medical care to ensure that any external or internal injuries are checked out, it’s important to seek medical care as it will help you with your claims process later. Always make sure that your doctor documents your visit and that you have a copy of that documentation. This can be the primary evidence in your case.
Even if you don’t think you’ve been injured, seeking medical attention is important. Severe injuries might not make themselves known until hours, or even days, after your accident, and if gone unchecked, can make those injuries substantially worse.
Inform the security or manager in charge and get the contact information of witnesses. Your witnesses can help establish a solid case even if the party at fault disputes liability. Don’t assign or accept blame for the accident. If the insurance company or the property owner requests you to sign something, don’t do it until you get an attorney to evaluate the document.

Mr Andrew Postal came highly recommended from one of his associates and now I see why. I have never needed to use an attorney and didn't know meetingwhat to expect-so I entered the office a little on the edge. However, after our first meeting, Mr. Postal did a great job putting my mind at ease. His level of professionalism goes beyond the four walls of his office. He always showed to be genuinely concerned about me and not just my case. He kept me well informed of every detail of my case. He never made decisions for me, but allowed me to have a voice. That was truly appreciated. The services of this firm are remarkable!!!!
What a great law firm. I had a very complex case and Drew never broke stride. You would have thought I had a high rise firm handling my case. Calls always returned, and I am a demanding persona they met every demand. No TV lawyer has a thing on Bob and Drew. What a great team. They have put Georgetown on the legal map. No matter what your case call them.
