Legal Question in Personal Injury in South Carolina

Claimed injury no proof except person's word

A person is claiming to have been injured by a falling light cover however the light cover sits in a bracket (facing up - not hanging down). I believe he must have knocked the cover with something to overcome the law of gravity as no one but him was around. He went to a doctor a couple of days later reporting a headache and then took 10 days off which he wants me to pay. I don't believe him and I'm willing to go to court. Do I have any say over requesting a magistrate ruling vs jury trial or does he get what he wants? Thanks

Re: Claimed injury no proof except person's word

He does not automatically get what he wants. You have a right to a jury trial and he must prove what he alleges. Good luck.
