CAUTION: WET FLOOR Are These Signs Required?
Are stores and businesses in South Carolina required to put out signs and warnings cautioning customers and clients about wet floors?
The challenge for victims is knowing how to prove that the store was careless, or negligent, for not placing the sign. The South Carolina legal standard is tough to overcome. Getting a settlement in a slip-and-fall case requires professional knowledge of both the law and how to use evidence to win your case.

We know winning a legal case means more than just establishing the bare requirements of the law. We also must address some human factors since, if your case goes to trial, the jury will likely be a little skeptical about someone slipping and falling.
Many horrendous falls and grievous injuries could be prevented in South Carolina if stores and businesses would just place a single wet floor sign or another warning.
Victims of South Carolina’s slip-and-fall accidents are right to wonder if wet floor signs are required by law. The answer is yes — and no.
No , there’s no written law.
But yes , the law can hold careless businesses
accountable for serious injuries when a wet floor sign, cone, or barricade should have been placed on the floor to warn customers. It’s under the so-called common law, which enforces safety by requiring careless businesses to pay settlements to victims for the harm and loss they suffer.
Basically, to win your case, you must prove you exercised common sense and fell because the store didn’t employ safe practices.
