Premises Liability Attorney In St. Louis, Missouri

What Is Premises Liability?

Our firm has worked with and helped hundreds of victims recover from injuries due to the negligence and wrongdoing committed by property owners. This includes falls and injuries due to dangerous conditions on commercial properties or at private homes. This can include something as simple as falling merchandise at a big box store, a slip and fall at a restaurant, a dog bite at someone's home or something more complex such as unguarded or unsafe machinery at your job.


Insurance companies will almost always try to place blame on the injury victim and say they should have “been more careful” and they are "responsible for their own injury." Often times, however, the property owner negligently violates rules and procedures and creates or allows a dangerous condition to exist that results in serious injury.


You will need an attorney who can deal with these "comparative" or "contributory fault" arguments and who can find the proper evidence so those who caused you to get hurt are held responsible.

What Kinds of Situations Qualify as Premises Liability?

Any hazard that a property owner does not fix in a reasonable amount of time could make an owner liable for injuries to their guests. Insufficient lighting, walkway obstructions, ripped carpets or mats, loose stairs or handrails, improperly working elevators, and uneven stair risers all should be repaired before a property owner invites guests in. Slippery floors, too, can cause accidents. However, if the property owner isn’t aware of the situation that caused the fall, like when a customer breaks a bottle of soda and fails to notify a worker, the owner might not be held liable. That’s why it’s essential that you see a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after the accident to learn what options you have. To learn more about whether your situation qualifies as premises liability, get in touch with one of our personal injury specialists today.

What Should I Do If I Have an Accident on Someone Else’s Property?

The first thing you need to do is to seek medical attention. Be sure to keep all records that relate to your injury. If you are able, go back to the scene of the accident and take photos that show the conditions that led to your injury. If you can’t, ask a trusted person to do that for you. If your injury occurred at a business or another organization’s property, fill out a written report but make sure you keep a copy. Be sure to contact an attorney that specializes in premises liability to have the best chance of getting fair compensation for your injuries. We can help.
