Premises Liability
South Carolina Personal Injury Attorneys
South Carolina property owners and managers have a responsibility to take care to keep their properties free from hazard. Unfortunately, not all businesses, homes, and city facilities are safe, and people get seriously injured as a result. When a visitor to a property suffers a preventable injury, the law of premises liability is used to determine the responsibility of the property owner or manager. The law applies both to residences and places of business.
If you or a loved one has been seriously injured due to a property owner's negligence in keeping the facility free from harm, you may have a valid South Carolina premises liability case. The skilled personal injury attorneys with the Joye Law Firm know the laws governing premises liability and can help protect your rights.
Proving Negligence Is Key
The key to South Carolina slip-and-fall accident cases is to prove that the property owner or manager was negligent and your injury resulted from his or her negligence. A property owner is not responsible simply because someone was injured on his or her property. The property owner has to be proven negligent. The owner of the property must pay for losses caused by the dangerous condition of the property if the injured person can prove:
- The condition of the property was dangerous.
- The owner knew, or should have known, about the dangerous condition.
- The owner had a reasonable opportunity to correct or warn of the condition, which was not reasonably open and obvious to the injured party at the time of the accident.
A South Carolina premises liability attorney can determine whether or not the property owner can be held liable for your injuries. As an accident victim, you may have a right to bring a claim for your pain and suffering, medical expenses, and lost wages. The lawyers of the Joye Law Firm can help you navigate the legal system, answer your questions, and guide you every step of the way.
