At Hawk Law Group, we’ll fight to recover compensation for all your damages after a fall accident. That includes your economic damages and non-economic damages.

Non-economic damages can be more difficult to prove. These damages compensate for your emotional and physical suffering and include:
Many fall accidents happen at work. In fact, research shows that falls, slips, and trips are a leading cause of workplace fatalities in South Carolina. If you were hurt on the job, it’s likely that you’re entitled to workers’ compensation benefits to cover medical bills and a portion of your lost income.
Many factors can cause an accident. Some of those factors can give the insurance company ammunition to blame the injured party. So, you should expect the insurance company to search for evidence to prove you were at fault for your fall accident.
It’s possible that the property owner may claim:
“Blame the victim” is a common issue in South Carolina because the state has modified comparative negligence laws. If the insurer can prove that you were at least 51% responsible, you lose your right to damages. Even if you were less than 51% responsible, the insurance company can reduce your settlement in proportion to your percentage of fault.
Our experienced slip and fall lawyers expect these tactics. We know how to minimize any allegations that you were responsible. Just call our law firm in Aiken, South Carolina, to learn more about how we can help you fight back.
Falls can cause a range of injuries. Some victims are up and about relatively quickly. Others sustain serious injuries that can cause chronic pain and other long-term problems.

Slip and fall accident lawsuits are based on a property owner’s negligence under South Carolina’s premises liability laws.

Slip and fall cases often turn on the owner’s duty of care. Business owners owe a heightened duty to customers (also known as “invitees”).
That includes a duty to:
Business owners can be held responsible for any unsafe conditions that they reasonably should have known about. Private property owners have a more limited duty. They can only be held liable to a licensee, or social guest, if they failed to warn about a known danger.
Every state imposes a deadline for filing a personal injury lawsuit. Under South Carolina law, the statute of limitations is three years. You have three years to file a lawsuit after your accident–or you will forfeit your right to compensation.
