Slip & Fall claims in North Charleston

Warehouse-format stores have concrete floors, and concrete floors in the Lowcountry get wet most summer afternoons. A fall claim is a premises claim, so the question is about the property rather than about driving. Who knew about the hazard? How long had it been sitting there before you fell? South Carolina generally ties an owner's duty to why you were on the property, which is how a customer, a delivery driver at a loading dock, and a contractor in a back area can each be owed something different by the same business on the same day. Report the fall before you leave the building. Video does not keep itself.
How fault gets decided can end a slip-and-fall case in North Charleston before it starts. South Carolina's rule: Modified comparative negligence, 51% bar. You have 3 years to file. Injured on someone else's property — a store, a business, or private premises.

Frequently asked questions

Which agency takes the report for a North Charleston crash?

The North Charleston Police Department works wrecks on city streets like Rivers Avenue, Ashley Phosphate Road, and Dorchester Road, while the South Carolina Highway Patrol generally responds on I-26 and I-526. The report stays with whichever agency wrote it. Start there, with the date, the location, and the case number ready. We are not a law firm.

North Charleston sits in more than one county. Which court is mine?

Our listing puts North Charleston in Charleston County, which makes the Charleston County Court of Common Pleas the civil trial court. But the city limits also reach into Dorchester and Berkeley counties, and the county where the crash actually happened is generally what decides the courthouse, not the county on your mailing address. Look at the report. Its location field settles the question.

A truck hit me near the port terminals. Who is the claim against?

Possibly more than one party. A tractor-trailer running to a terminal may have a driver, a motor carrier, and a trailer owner behind it, each with insurance and each with a reason to point at someone else. South Carolina's 51% bar applies to your own share of the blame here too. Write down the company name and the DOT number on the door while you still can.

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.
