Accidents that cause injuries at businesses, offices, parks, and other public places or private homes may be caused by dangerous conditions that go unrepaired or without proper warnings. If the owners or managers of the property were negligent by creating the problem, failing to fix it, or failing to warn about the danger, they may be held liable for an accident victim’s injuries in South Carolina.
Falls are a very common and very dangerous accident for people of all ages, and particularly for older adults. About 8 million people go to the emergency room for treatment of injuries related to falls each year, and about 1 million of those are slip-and-fall accidents, according to the National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI).
About five percent of slip-and-fall victims suffer some type of bone fracture, the NFSI reports. Falls can also prove fatal, particularly among older people. Falls are the second leading cause of injury-related death for people between the ages of 65 and 84 and the top cause for those 85 and older, according to the NFSI.
