When you step onto someone else’s property, you have a reasonable expectation of safety. Property owners in Missouri are legally required to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition for visitors. When they fail to do that, and someone gets hurt as a result, the law holds them accountable. If you were injured on another person’s or business’s property due to a dangerous condition that should have been addressed, you may have a valid premises liability claim. The Law Office of Daniel E. Stuart, P.A. is here to help. Call our experienced Lee’s Summit, MO premises liability lawyer for a free consultation today.
Premises Liability Lawyer Lee’s Summit, MO
Premises liability is the area of personal injury law that deals with injuries occurring on someone else’s property. These cases cover a wide range of situations, from slip and fall accidents in a grocery store to dog bites on a neighbor’s property to injuries caused by broken or defective conditions on residential or commercial premises. What these cases share in common is a property owner who knew, or should have known, about a dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn visitors about it.
Injuries from premises accidents can be severe. Broken bones, back and spinal injuries, head trauma, torn ligaments, and lacerations are all common outcomes. In some cases, victims face long recoveries, permanent disability, and financial hardship that stretches on long after the accident itself.
Insurance companies that represent property owners have their own attorneys that are experienced at defending these claims. They will look for any reason to deny your claim or reduce the value of your settlement, including arguing that you were partially at fault, that the hazard was obvious, or that your injuries are not as serious as you say. Going up against them without legal representation puts you at a serious disadvantage.
Our Lee’s Summit premises liability lawyer knows how these cases work and how to build a strong claim on your behalf. We investigate the conditions that caused your injury, gather evidence, consult with relevant experts when needed, and hold negligent property owners fully accountable for the harm they caused.
