Taking the Next Step in Your Case

In South Carolina, the fact that an accident or injury occurred on a store premises does not automatically make the business responsibility. This holds true even for your medical bills. Frequently, retail store injury claims may be outright denied by the store or their insurance carrier, even with clear liability or significant damages. Many individuals simply give up, unaware of the extent of their legal rights or of the opportunity to secure legal counsel. It is important that you explore all options, and seek skilled representation in your situation.

We offer free case evaluations for those injured in retail store settings. Injury cases are usually accepted on a contingency basis which means no fee unless you actually recover. Our fee is computed before costs or expenses are subtracted from any recovery.
