Premises Liability Attorney in

Greenwood, South Carolina

Premises liability is a legal concept holding property owners and operators responsible for any injuries people experience because of negligence or inattention to dangers. Slips and falls are often associated with premises liability.  

Suppose a customer enters a store, slips down an aisle, and falls because someone spilled a liquid on the floor. The shopper suffers injuries to the head and neck. You question whether the store owner/operator is liable.  

The answer to that would depend on when the spill happened and how “reasonable” were the efforts of the owner to maintain a safe environment. In any case, the injured customer should file a claim against the store’s commercial liability insurance to recover for the injuries sustained. That claim could eventually lead to a personal injury lawsuit.  

The property owners and operators have an obligation to maintain a safe environment and warn others if conditions pose a danger. That’s why you will see “wet floor” warnings and blockades in public facilities. Private homeowners also have a duty of care toward others and must warn of dangerous conditions to those legally on their property.
