Premises liability cases are investigated using accident reconstructionists, architects, structural engineers, and medical expects.

Recovering Damages – A Proven Track Record

People injured by falling objects, slippery floors or bathtubs, or environmental hazards face medical bills, lost wages, and possibly long term disability. It’s important, then, to win our clients’ cases and recover losses that affect their ability to get on with life and cope with the consequences of an injury. Having tried hundreds of cases for our clients in our 32 years of experience, we know how to gather evidence and establish the facts for juries.

Slip, Trip, and Fall

For example, in Denaux v. U.S., 572 F.Supp. 659 (D.S.C. 1983), we filed suit on behalf of an elderly woman who broke her hip after slipping on produce on the floor of a government commissary. At trial, the judge agreed with our arguments and found that the commissary was negligent in the way it displayed its produce, which allowed the produce to fall to the floor. This was a new theory of liability for South Carolina. The judge awarded very significant damages and expenses in favor of our client.

Unsafe Conditions

In one case against a state highway department and one of the largest oil companies in the world, we filed suit to recover damages following a 1992 accident at a gas station driveway in which a woman and her three children were severely injured. Following depositions of 84 lay witnesses and 18 expert witnesses, we reached a multimillion dollar settlement just before the trial was to begin. The highway department completely redesigned the intersection, which had played a role in 10 earlier wrecks, and the oil company made sure the driveways to the stations across the country did not pose this danger ever again.
