When you are welcomed onto someone else’s property, you expect it to be reasonably safe, and if it’s not, you would expect to be warned about any dangers that you should avoid. When the property is unsafe and leads to you having a slip and fall accident that injures you, then you probably will want to file a lawsuit against the property owner.

Depending on the situation, you might not be eligible to file a claim against the property owner for your slip and fall accident. An experienced Columbia, SC slip and fall lawyer from Solomon Law Group will investigate the situation to determine if your accident was grounds for a lawsuit. We’ll support you through your claim and hold the property owner or manager liable for your injury.

When walking in a grocery store, hotel, or any other type of business, it’s common to see yellow signs posted around spills or wet areas. They warn those walking by that the floor is slippery and they need to proceed with caution. Usually, these signs are posted because someone noticed the immediate problem, but cannot fix it at that very minute. However, the sign shows that the right people are aware and they should get to the matter as quickly as possible.

If you’ve suffered from a slip and fall accident, there may not have been a sign present. This could have informed you that the area was dangerous. Your injuries could have been prevented had negligence not occurred.
