South Carolina Premises and Products Liability Lawyer
Anyone who maintains a property or manufactures a product has a duty to reasonably avoid placing the users of the premises or product in danger. If you have been injured due to unsafe conditions on another's property or from a defective or poorly designed product, contact the Hughey Law Firm LLC to discuss your potential claim.
The Hughey Law Firm LLC has aggressively handled numerous premises and product liability lawsuits. These cases can hinge on demonstrating and proving 1) injuries, 2) liability and showing 3) prior notice of dangerous conditions, or showing that a defendant should have or could have had notice of a dangerous condition by acting reasonably.
From our Mt. Pleasant (Charleston) office, we work hard to find records that prove the responsible party had prior notice of unsafe conditions. We are experienced in identifying liable insurers, including liable insurers in complex, multiparty claims and coverage in homeowner umbrella policies. In addition, we work with a network of doctors to demonstrate the extent of injuries and to show how injuries resulted from premises or products liability accidents.
Experienced and Aggressive Attorney
Our experience in litigating premises and products liability cases ranges from relatively simple slip and fall cases to vicious assaults occurring under dangerous conditions, and from minor household products incidents to catastrophic construction defect accidents. Our experience includes:
- We recently won a $1.625 million settlement for a woman whose leg was crushed in a dock collapse accident. A gangway collapsed onto a dock she stepped onto, crushing her leg and trapping her in a canal for 30 minutes before emergency workers could free her
- We represented the estate of an individual who was killed by a defective kerosene heater
- An attacker wielding a box cutter on private commercial property injured our client. We demonstrated that the facility had a history of poor security and safety and achieved a sizeable award for our client
- We have obtained numerous other awards that resulted in sizable but confidential settlements.
Other premises and products liability cases we have handled include:
- Explosions at industrial sites
- Injuries caused by defective power tools and household products
- Dog bites
- Wet floors
- Car accidents on private property, including in parking lots
- Assaults and other criminal activity on private property
