What Should You Do Immediately After a Slip and Fall?
Slip and fall accidents can be disorienting, but taking the right steps quickly is crucial for your health and your legal case.
Here’s what to do:
- Seek medical care right away: Even minor falls can lead to hidden injuries like concussions or spinal damage.
- Report the accident to the property owner, store manager, or landlord. Request a written report if possible.
- Document everything: Take photos of the scene, any visible injuries, and the hazard that caused your fall.
- Collect contact details from witnesses who saw what happened.
- Avoid giving statements to insurance adjusters before speaking with a lawyer.
- Preserve your clothing and shoes worn during the fall, they may be relevant evidence.
-
Parties That May Be Liable in a Slip and Fall Claim
Liability depends on who was responsible for maintaining the property where your fall occurred. Possible parties include:
- Commercial property owners (e.g. grocery stores, restaurants)
- Landlords or property managers
- Government entities (if on public property)
- Maintenance companies or contractors responsible for upkeep
To hold a party legally accountable, we must prove they knew, or should have known, about the hazard and failed to address it in a reasonable timeframe.
-
Compensation Available for Slip & Fall Victims
If your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation such as:
- Medical bills (including future treatments)
- Lost income during your recovery
- Loss of earning potential (if permanently affected)
- Pain and suffering
- Rehabilitation or home care costs
- Disability or reduced quality of life
The value of your claim depends on the severity of your injury, the degree of negligence, and the impact on your daily life.
-
Proving Negligence in a Slip and Fall Case
To win a slip and fall claim, you must prove that someone else’s negligence caused your injury. Here’s how it’s done:
1. Duty of Care
The property owner or manager had a legal responsibility to maintain safe conditions for visitors or customers.
2. Breach of Duty
That party failed to meet that responsibility. For example, they didn’t clean up a spill, fix a broken step, or post a warning sign.
3. Causation
The unsafe condition directly caused your fall and resulting injury.
4. Damages
You suffered real, measurable harm, like medical bills, pain, lost wages, or lasting disability.
Key Evidence May Include:
- Surveillance footage
- Witness statements
- Medical records
- Maintenance logs or inspection reports
- Expert testimony on safety standards
An experienced slip and fall lawyer knows how to collect, preserve, and present this evidence to build a strong case on your behalf.
- Surveillance footage
-
Statute of Limitations in South Carolina
Under South Carolina law, you generally have 3 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. However, if your fall occurred on government property, deadlines may be much shorter and notice requirements may apply.
It’s always best to speak with a slip and fall attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights and preserve evidence.
-
When Should I Hire a Slip and Fall Lawyer?
You should contact a lawyer as soon as possible after the fall, especially if:
- Your injuries required medical attention
- You’re missing work or losing income
- You’re facing high medical bills
- The property owner denies responsibility
- You’re unsure how to gather or preserve evidence
A skilled attorney will evaluate your case, protect your rights, and handle all communication with the insurance company, so you don’t have to.

Frequently asked questions
Additional Insights From Our Team
-
What if I was partially at fault for my fall?
South Carolina follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You may still recover damages as long as you were less than 51% at fault, but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
-
Can I sue a business if I fell in their parking lot?
Yes. Businesses are responsible for maintaining safe premises, including exterior areas like sidewalks, parking lots, and entrances.
-
What if I didn’t report the fall immediately?
You can still file a claim, but it may be harder to prove. Document your injuries, gather evidence, and consult an attorney as soon as possible.
-
Do I need to prove the owner “knew” about the hazard?
Not always. You only need to show they knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to take reasonable steps to fix it.
-
What does it cost to hire a slip and fall lawyer?
Most personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay unless we recover compensation for you.
