Common Types of Personal Injury Accidents in Florence, SC
Our law firm handles a wide variety of personal injury claims throughout the Pee Dee region. Some of the most frequent case types include:
Car Accidents
South Carolina sees a traffic collision every 3.7 minutes. If you’ve been injured in a car crash, your attorney can investigate the accident, determine fault, and negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf.
Slip and Fall Accidents
These accidents fall under the category of premises liability. Whether you slipped in a grocery store, office building, or a public area, we may be able to hold the property owner and management accountable for failing to maintain a safe environment.
Product Liability
If a defective or dangerous product injured you or a loved one, you may have a product liability case. Our team can help identify whether a manufacturer, distributor, or retailer is responsible for the harm caused by a faulty product.
Negligent Security
When property owners fail to provide adequate security at venues like nightclubs, apartment complexes, or stadiums, they can be held liable for assaults or other injuries. Negligent security claims often involve proving that a foreseeable danger was ignored or not addressed.
Proving Negligence in a Florence Personal Injury Case
In order to recover compensation, your Florence injury attorney must establish the four elements of negligence:
- Duty of Care: The defendant owed you a legal obligation to act with reasonable care.
- Breach of Duty: That obligation was violated by action or inaction.
- Causation: The breach of duty directly caused your injury.
- Damages: You suffered actual losses (physical, emotional, or financial) as a result.
Your lawyer may use photos, surveillance footage, expert testimony, medical records, and more to build a compelling case that satisfies all of these elements.
