In premises liability cases, various parties may be liable, including:
As you can see, a variety of different parties may be responsible for your accident. Just who your premises liability lawyer in Spartanburg pursues ultimately depends on the type of premises liability accident that occurred.
Most actionable accidents that happen on someone else’s property are categorized as premises liability accidents. The following are some examples of this type of accident:
In each of these accidents listed above, there is a liable party. When a structure collapses, the building contractor may be on the hook for shoddy construction practices. Your premises liability attorney in Spartanburg might also pursue the property owner if the collapse resulted from overloading a structure’s capacity.
In other instances, a negligently installed, maintained, or repaired electrical service line or utility pole would see a utility company answering allegations of negligence. A burglary and assault on the premises of a gated apartment complex could result in liability for a security company charged with protecting the complex. Whatever the situation, Whalen Montalvo will find the liable party and compel payment.

When reckless or willful behavior is at the root of a premises liability accident, you may also be entitled to recover punitive damages.
The Spartanburg premises liability lawyers at Whalen Montalvo negotiate fiercely for your compensation.
Here is a short Q&A relating to premises liability and compensation claims. To get more answers, call our office any time.
How much time do I have to seek compensation for a premises liability accident?
If you have been injured in a premises liability accident, you have three years to file a lawsuit or lose your claim to damages. This means that you must file an insurance claim long before the three years is up. The insurance claim is not the same as a lawsuit and does not stop the clock on the three-year time limit.
Speaking with an experienced Spartanburg premises liability lawyer as soon as possible after your accident will help ensure that you do not miss the window of compensation.
When a minor is injured in a premises liability accident, different rules are in play. The clock does not start until the minor becomes an adult. Once 18, they have three years to file a lawsuit.
How much is my premises liability case worth?
The worth of your case depends on the nature and seriousness of your injuries, primarily. If you have a high-paying job and miss work, your lost wages compensation will be higher than if you work for minimum wage. Additionally, compensation for a broken toe will likely be far less than compensation for a life-altering traumatic brain injury.
Whatever your injuries may be, you can rely on the Spartanburg premises liability lawyers at Whalen Montalvo to pursue as much compensation as is available for your losses.
How long will it take to get compensated for a premises liability claim?
It can take a few months or a few years to get compensated for a premises liability claim. Straightforward cases with clear proof of liability are resolved much more quickly than complex cases. Cases are made complex by various factors, including:
In every premises liability case we take, our team works relentlessly to close our client’s case in a timely manner and with a proper compensation payout.
What if I am partially at fault for my premises liability accident?
Not every premises liability case involves one party who is 100% responsible. In some cases, the victim may share a portion of the liability. Fortunately, a victim’s own negligence does not bar them from seeking compensation for their losses in South Carolina unless they are more than 50% negligent.
