Seek medical attention as soon as possible, even if injuries seem minor, since some symptoms may develop later. Document the scene by taking photos and gathering contact information from witnesses.
Report the incident to the property owner or manager and keep records of all communications. Contacting an attorney can help protect your rights and guide you through the claims process.
Fault depends on whether the property owner failed to maintain a safe environment or adequately warn visitors of hazards. Evidence such as maintenance records, surveillance footage, and eyewitness testimonies are crucial.
Comparative negligence laws in Missouri may affect your ability to recover damages if you are found partially at fault, so consulting a knowledgeable attorney is important.
Victims may recover compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and any permanent disabilities resulting from the accident.
Each case is unique, so an attorney will evaluate your specific situation to determine the full extent of recoverable damages.
Missouri law generally provides a five-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, but it’s advisable to act promptly to preserve evidence and witness availability.
Delaying legal action can jeopardize your case, so contacting a lawyer early is recommended.
Many slip and fall cases are resolved through negotiation or mediation without going to trial, but if a fair settlement cannot be reached, your case may proceed to court.
