Here is a list of some of the types of injuries that we see with slip and fall cases:

• back pain
• back injury including herniated discs
• broken bones
• injuries during pregnancy, including miscarriages
• head injury
• knee injury

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.

• 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

If you are a victim in a slip-and-fall accident or know someone who has been injured on a property somewhere in Horry County, Conway, or Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, it is a good idea to consult a lawyer to properly evaluate your case and fight for your legal rights.

A few of the things that are used to calculate your damages include past medical expenses, future medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, and incidental expenses.
