Frequently Asked Questions About Slip/Trip and Fall Lawsuits in Missouri

If the accident happened at work, you might be eligible for workers' compensation. For rental properties, landlords can be liable if negligence in maintaining the property led to the accident. Each scenario has different legal considerations and should be discussed with an attorney.
Liability is determined based on whether the property owner acted negligently. This involves evaluating whether they kept their property reasonably safe and whether their negligence directly led to your injuries.
Important evidence includes photos of the accident scene, medical records, witness statements, accident reports, and any communication with the property owner or insurance companies.
The process starts with a consultation with an attorney, followed by an investigation and evidence gathering. We then file a lawsuit or attempt to negotiate a settlement that fully compensates our client. If that fails, the case may go to trial. The duration varies from a few months to several years, depending on the complexity of the case, willingness of parties to negotiate, and court schedules.
While not legally required, it's highly advisable. Personal injury attorneys understand the legal complexities and can help build a strong case, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent you in court if necessary.
Compensation can include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and sometimes punitive damages. The exact amount depends on the specifics of your case, including the severity of your injuries and the circumstances of the accident.
Missouri follows a pure comparative negligence rule. This means you can still recover damages even if you were partly at fault, but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
A valid claim generally involves proving that the property owner or manager was negligent. This means showing that they knew or should have known about the hazardous condition and failed to fix it or warn about it.
After a fall, prioritize your safety and health. Seek medical attention, even if injuries seem minor, as some symptoms may appear later. Document the accident scene by taking photos and note conditions like wet floors or poor lighting. Report the incident to the property owner or manager and get contact information of any witnesses.
