Slip and Fall Accidents

Perhaps you or a loved one has slipped and fallen due to the negligence of a business owner. A slip and fall usually results in injury, medical expenses, and lost finances. Ongoing medical problems, loss of income and pain can also typically result from serious injuries of this nature.

Although most folks feel a bit clumsy when they slip and fall, the fact is that many times the accident is not the victim's fault. 

Common causes of slip and fall injuries include:

• Poor lighting
• Broken steps
• Obstructed walkways
• Slippery floors
• Icy sidewalks
• Unmarked changes in elevation

 
Unfortunately, despite often being preventable, many people will experience a slip and fall more than once during their lifetime. That’s why it is so important to hold property owners and managers liable for any reckless or negligent care of the property, which contributed to your injury.
 
For someone else to be held legally responsible for your injuries on their property, one of the following must apply:

• The property owner caused the spill, tear, slippery surface, or out of place item to be there;
• The property owner or an employee knew of the dangerous condition but did nothing about it; or
• The property owner or an employee should have known of the dangerous condition, since a “reasonable” person in their position would have discovered and corrected it.

 
If you or a loved one has been injured in a slip and fall accident due to the carelessness of someone else, it is important to contact a knowledgeable and experienced Missouri Slip and Fall Attorney.
