SC S1008

Creates new Article 3 in Chapter 3, Title 27 of the South Carolina Code establishing legal standards for "negligent security" claims against property owners, occupiers, and security contractors for injuries caused by third-party wrongful conduct on premises

Property owners/occupiers may be liable to invitees if they had actual knowledge of prior similar wrongful conduct on or within 500 yards of the premises, or received a particularized warning of imminent wrongful conduct, and failed to exercise ordinary care to remedy known physical conditions that created foreseeable security risks

Owners/occupiers are not liable for injuries to trespassers, persons off-premises, injuries at single-family residences, or when the injured person was committing a felony or certain misdemeanors; liability is also excluded if the owner reported a warning to law enforcement

Requires courts to apportion fault among property owners, third-party wrongdoers, and other responsible parties; creates a rebuttable presumption that fault apportionment is unreasonable if wrongdoers are assigned less fault than non-wrongdoing defendants combined

Plaintiffs cannot recover damages if they are 50% or more at fault for their injury, and damages are reduced proportionally based on the plaintiff's percentage of fault
