Kirkwood, Missouri, boasts a rich history and a vibrant community, but like many places, it faces occasional slip and fall incidents that require legal attention.

Our approach is tailored to each client’s circumstances, blending personalized service with extensive legal knowledge to navigate the complexities of Missouri’s slip and fall laws effectively.
We begin by listening to your story, evaluating the circumstances of your accident, and discussing potential legal options tailored to your situation.
Our team collects all relevant evidence, including medical records, accident reports, and witness statements, to build a strong case in your favor.
We handle communications and negotiations with insurers to pursue a fair settlement that adequately compensates for your injuries and damages.
If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are prepared to advocate zealously for your rights in court, striving to achieve the best possible verdict.
Seek medical attention promptly to address any injuries, even if they seem minor at first, as some symptoms may appear later.
Document the scene by taking photos and gather contact information from any witnesses. Reporting the incident to the property owner or manager is also important for record-keeping.
Missouri generally has a five-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including slip and fall cases.
However, it is advisable to contact an attorney as soon as possible to preserve evidence and ensure timely filing.
Missouri follows a comparative fault rule, meaning that your compensation can be reduced by your percentage of fault but not necessarily eliminated.
An experienced lawyer can help determine your level of fault and fight for the maximum recovery possible.
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages related to the accident.
Each case is unique, so a consultation is important to understand your specific entitlements.
Many slip and fall claims are resolved through negotiations or settlements without going to trial.
However, if fair compensation is not achieved, your attorney can represent you in court to pursue your claim.
Most slip and fall attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no upfront costs and fees are a percentage of the settlement or verdict.
This arrangement makes legal representation accessible without financial risk.
