Slip & Fall Accidents
Similarly, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), floors and flooring materials account for more than 2 million fall injuries each year.
Many of these falls are a result of defects on a property or dangerous conditions. Many different types of injuries can be suffered from these accidents. A few examples include head injury, back injury, and broken bones.
In South Carolina, premises liability litigation (often called slip-and-fall) is difficult to pursue, given the heavy legal requirements placed on Plaintiffs to show liability. However, the attorneys at Coastal Law handle these types of injury cases.

Grocery Store Slip & Falls
Even if the hazard is caused by another shopper, the grocery store may be at fault! Do not make the mistake of thinking there is nothing you can do to right the wrong committed against you.
If this happens to you, make sure you take a look around at the area you are in. Is there a wet floor sign? If there isn’t, this can be very important to your case! If a store knows or should have known that a slip and fall hazard was present and did not put out a sign, they may have a legal problem.
What should you do if this happens to you?
If you ever find yourself in this situation, there are a few things you should know:
- Make sure you properly document the facts
- Take photographs of the property, especially the area where the accident occurred
- Ask for an incident report or video surveillance
- Seek the names and contact information of any witnesses
