South Carolina Premises Liability Lawyer
Have you been injured in a slip and fall?
You are in a grocery store. With a basket on one hip, you make your way down the aisles to find the food that you need for that week. You are aware that there are pallets in the aisles, piled high with products. While choosing a product from a shelf, you do not realize that there is an empty pallet in the middle of the aisle. You trip, breaking your toe, crushing your ankle, and suffering deep cuts in your arm from the bottle in your basket that shattered when you fell.
Some people minimize the damage a fall can cause. At the Schiller Law Firm, we know better. The above scenario closely resembles one of our actual cases. You know how serious your injuries are--you have the stitches and bandages to prove it. People who have never been through that experience do not quite understand. Fortunately, that is where we excel. We know how to convey to insurance companies, opposing counsel and juries exactly how badly you were injured in that slip and fall, and how that injury has affected your life. If you have suffered an injury on someone else's property, contact the Schiller Law Firm for a free consultation with a dedicated PI attorney.
Unsafe Conditions
Grocery stores do not have a monopoly on property hazards. Big box stores, public streets, even private homes can have unknown pitfalls. We handle liability cases that involve:
- Negligent maintenance
- Poor lighting
- Poor building construction
- Building code violations
- Negligent design
- Inadequate security
Many of these cases involve serious injury. Once, we even handled a wrongful death case that resulted from poor security in an apartment complex.
Dog Bites
Thousands of people get injured by dog bites every year. Most of them are children, but anyone can be affected. Dog bite cases are measured on strict liability. If there is a dog attack, the property owner may be liable absent any provocation. As with all our injury cases, we obtain a full medical evaluation. We also obtain a psychological evaluation. If dog injures a very young child, that child may be traumatized. He or she may end up with a lifelong fear of dogs, most of whom are docile and well behaved. We also seek the help of a plastic surgeon to determine whether or not a scar revision is warranted.
