Business owners owe a duty of care to their customers to keep the premises reasonably safe and free of dangerous conditions. When this duty is overlooked they may be responsible for the resulting injuries. The duty of care applies in all types of settings open to the public including big box retailers,  warehouse stores, membership clubs, restaurants, banks, nightclubs, office buildings, parking lots, and shopping malls. We accept injury cases occurring in all types of environments. Examples of dangerous conditions include:

• Slippery floors
• Loose floor tiles and hazardous rugs or floor mats
• Falling merchandise from high shelves
• Faulty stairs and stair railing
• Uneven floors
• Poor and inadequate lighting
• Parking lot injuries
• Employee negligence
• Cleaning and maintenance during store hours

The injuries sustained from these, or other dangerous conditions, may be severe and significant. You may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain & suffering and permanent physical impairment.

In South Carolina the fact that an accident or injury occurred on a store premises does not automatically make the business responsibility. This holds true even for your medical bills. Frequently retail store injury claims may be outright denied by the store or their insurance carrier, even with clear liability or significant damages. Many individuals simply give up, unaware of the extent of their legal rights or of the opportunity to secure legal counsel.

We offer free case evaluations for those injured in retail store settings. Injury cases are usually accepted on a contingency basis which means no fee unless you actually recover. Our fee is computed before costs or expenses are subtracted from any recovery.
