Slip & Fall claims in Mount Pleasant

Shem Creek is boardwalk, dock, and deck, and all three get slick. Marina ramps do the same thing at low tide. So does tile inside a restaurant that has been running since noon. A fall claim turns on control of the property rather than on who was driving, and around here that can mean an owner, a restaurant tenant, and a rental management company each pointing at the next one, which is a slower argument than most people expect. Short-term rental properties raise exactly the same question. Who was responsible for that step? Tell somebody on site, in writing, before you go home.

Frequently asked questions

Who writes the report for a wreck on Johnnie Dodds?

The Mount Pleasant Police Department handles crashes on town streets, including US-17 through town, Coleman Boulevard, and the approach to the Isle of Palms Connector, while the South Carolina Highway Patrol generally works I-526. Ask the responding officer which one it was. Request the report from that agency, using the date and the case number from the scene. It's worth doing early.

Where would a Mount Pleasant injury suit be filed?

Charleston County Court of Common Pleas. Mount Pleasant sits in Charleston County, so that's the civil trial court for a crash inside town limits, though most claims never get that far and are worked out between lawyers and an adjuster instead. The three-year deadline still governs all of them, and once it passes an insurer generally has no reason to pay anything.

Is a crash on the way to Isle of Palms handled differently?

No, but the details get slippery. The Connector and the Ben Sawyer approach fill with visitors on a Saturday, and the other driver may be in a rental, in a borrowed car, or headed home to another state that night. Photograph the plate and the insurance card yourself. The crash report is generally the only record anyone keeps of who was where.

How long do I have to file an injury claim in South Carolina?

In South Carolina, the deadline is generally 3 years from the date of the accident. 3 years personal injury; wrongful death 3 years. Deadlines are strict — the sooner you act, the more options you have.
