A premises liability case arises when an individual is injured due to unsafe or dangerous conditions on someone else’s property. This can include slip and fall accidents, inadequate maintenance, or unsafe building conditions.
In Missouri, property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe environments for visitors. If they breach this duty and cause harm, they may be held liable for damages.
To prove negligence, you must show that the property owner owed you a duty of care, failed to meet that duty, and that their failure directly caused your injury.
Gathering evidence such as surveillance, witness accounts, and documentation of unsafe conditions is critical to establishing negligence.
Missouri follows comparative fault rules, meaning your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault but you can still pursue a claim.
It is important to discuss your specific circumstances with a premises liability attorney to understand your rights.
You may recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and in some cases, punitive damages.
Each case is unique, so potential damages should be evaluated with professional legal advice.
The statute of limitations for filing a premises liability claim in Missouri is generally five years from the date of the injury.
