Frequently Asked Questions

Seek medical attention immediately, even if injuries seem minor. Document the scene with photos, and gather contact information from witnesses.

Report the accident to the property owner or manager as soon as possible to create an official record, and avoid making statements that admit fault.

Missouri’s statute of limitations for personal injury cases, including slip and fall, is generally five years from the date of the accident.

It’s important to consult an attorney promptly to ensure your claim is filed within this period and to preserve critical evidence.

Missouri follows a comparative fault system. This means your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault but you can still recover damages if you are less than 51% at fault.

An attorney can help assess fault distribution and protect your rights during negotiation or litigation.

You may recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related costs resulting from the accident.

Each case is unique, so a comprehensive evaluation is needed to identify all applicable damages.

Many slip and fall cases settle out of court through negotiation. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, trial may be necessary.

We prepare every case as if it will proceed to trial to ensure the best possible outcome.

We offer a no-obligation consultation and work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.

Our fee structure is transparent, and we discuss all costs upfront to avoid surprises.

The duration varies based on case complexity, the willingness of parties to settle, and court schedules. Some cases resolve within months, others may take longer.

We keep you informed throughout the process and work efficiently to achieve resolution as promptly as possible.
