This book provides comprehensive analysis of South Carolina premises liability law applicable to slip-and-fall litigation, along with other areas of law typically involved in such cases. It should always be within reach when evaluating the factual and legal issues in your case, or when drafting legal memoranda and pretrial briefs.

I recently purchased [the] book on Slip & Fall law at the SC Bar Convention in January. I have found the book very useful and a great guide for some of my slip and fall cases already. I cannot begin to tell you how nice it is to have all of the relevant case law and legal issues regarding slip and fall cases in one place. (Particularly Chapter 10 and Appendix A & B).
Your book has already enabled me to write a better demand letter citing relevant case law and prepare better discovery for the Defendant(s) to respond to. It also has given me a better understanding of the information I need to get to prevent the dreaded Summary Judgment.
