Criminal Law

• DUI/DWI
  Drunk driving is a serious problem across the nation. It is one of the leading causes of serious injuries or death on the roads. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, somebody in the U.S. is killed in a drunk driving accident approximately once per hour.
• Wrongful Death
  Unfortunately, when faulty machinery at a factory or other industrial facility injures a worker, or leaves them permanently disabled, workers’ compensation benefits may not address the long-term impact. A claim against a third party, such as a subcontractor or industrial equipment manufacturer, may be appropriate. The families of those killed may have grounds for a wrongful death claim.
• Traffic Violations
  Any driver who speeds is a danger to others, but a speeding truck can cause a horrific crash that destroys smaller vehicles, leaving their occupants severely injured or dead.
• Sex Crimes
  Physical abuse refers to intentionally inflicting harm by action or inaction. It could include kicking, hitting, biting, pinching, burning, confinement, sexual assault, and improper use of medication.
• Fraud
  Lastly, in some states, fraud claims may be subject to statutes relating to consumer fraud, or regulations applicable to particular industries and business transactions. A products liability attorney will be aware of all applicable statutes and regulations and can determine whether they have been violated, as well as whether they govern a consumer’s claim such that particular procedures must be followed.

Property Law

• Premises Liability
  Walking into a retail store, bar, parking lot, or someone’s home should not put you at risk of serious or fatal injury. But every day, people are injured when they enter someone else’s property. If a foreseeable danger caused the injury, the property owner could owe you compensation in a premises liability lawsuit.
• Construction Litigation
  Construction defect law exploded in the 1980s when new home construction rates rose dramatically. As homes and condos were hurriedly mass produced, builders began cutting corners and defects proliferated. Some housing defect cases are simple waterproofing problems (not actually so simple to the inconvenienced homeowner), but others concern structural defects that render then entire home unsafe or uninhabitable.
• Land Use and Zoning
• Landlord-Tenant Disputes
  In Holmes v. Rosner, 289 S.C. 287, 346 S.E.2d 37 we filed suit for a client who was severely burned in a fire that began in a fan over a stove. We argued that the landlord had a duty to provide a fit and habitable dwelling to a tenant. Such a claim was not considered a basis for recovery by a tenant against a landlord in South Carolina at that time. While we lost at the trial court level, the South Carolina Supreme Court agreed with us on appeal and reversed to recognize an express warranty of fitness and habitability in favor of tenants. At the same time, we helped to lobby the S.C. General Assembly to rewrite the landlord-tenant laws to create a landlord’s implied warranty to provide a fit and habitable dwelling. Our trial and appellate work led to a new cause of action in South Carolina courts that provides additional protection to tenants.
