Have you been injured on someone else’s property? Did you know that the business or individual, who rents, owns or leases the property you were injured on, may be liable for your injuries? Our Charleston premises liability lawyers can help.
Generally, owners of land or property, public and private, must take reasonable care to ensure that, if you are on their property, you are safe from hazards. Our personal injury attorneys are experienced in investigating and handling potential personal injury claims resulting from unsafe conditions. Each premises liability case is different, and we work with you to determine how the injury occurred. If the property owner could have prevented the accident, the owner may be liable for your injuries.
