in South Carolina?
Premises liability refers to injuries caused by unsafe or hazardous conditions on someone else’s property.
These cases often involve:
Negligent
maintenance
Failure to fix
known hazards
Failure to warn of
dangerous conditions
To recover compensation, it must be shown that the property owner knew—or should have known—about the dangerous condition and failed to address it.

We handle a wide range of premises liability cases, including:
- Wet or slippery floors

Obtaining incident reports and surveillance footage

What to Do After a Slip, Trip, or Fall
in South Carolina
If you’ve been injured on someone else’s property:
- Report the incident to the property owner or manager before you leave the premises
- Document the scene (photos, hazard, surroundings)
- Get names of witnesses if possible
- Seek medical attention immediately
- Avoid giving statements to insurance companies before getting guidance
- Contact Peter Brown to fully understand your rights and responsibilities moving forward
