Get Compensation After A Slip-And-Fall Accident

One moment you’re walking normally, the next you’re on the ground in pain. Slip-and-fall accidents happen fast, but the injuries last months or longer. Property owners who ignore dangerous conditions put you at risk, whether it’s water pooled near a store entrance, cracked sidewalks outside an apartment building or dim stairwells with missing handrails. These falls lead to serious harm like broken bones, concussions, spinal damage and torn ligaments that need surgery and rehabilitation.

Missouri law protects people injured on someone else’s property through premises liability rules. Property owners must keep their spaces reasonably safe for visitors. When they don’t fix hazards or warn you about dangers, they’re responsible for your injuries. Samani Law, LLC, handles personal injury cases throughout Missouri and fights to get you compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Common Slip-And-Fall Locations And Causes

Dangerous conditions exist in many places:

• Retail stores with spills left unattended or unmarked
• Parking lots with potholes, uneven surfaces or ice buildup
• Rental properties with broken stairs, loose railings or poor lighting
• Restaurants with slippery kitchen floors or cluttered walkways
• Office buildings with torn carpeting or wet entryways

Property owners have a legal duty to identify these hazards and either fix them or warn visitors about the danger.

Missouri’s Pure Comparative Fault Rule

Many people worry they can’t sue if they were distracted when they fell. Missouri’s pure comparative fault rule states that you can still recover compensation even if you share some blame. If you were talking to a friend when you tripped on an unmarked hazard, the jury might assign you 20% fault and the property owner 80% fault. You’d still receive 80% of your total damages. Don’t assume you have no case because you weren’t being completely careful.
