Springfield, Missouri, has a rich history and a growing community that values safety and fairness for its residents. Slip and fall accidents often result from neglected property conditions, making it important for victims to seek proper legal counsel.
While Ott Law Firm is based in St. Louis, we proudly assist clients in Springfield and throughout Missouri. Our approach focuses on personalized service and thorough investigation to build strong cases that prioritize client satisfaction and results.
Our firm works closely with clients from the initial consultation through resolution, guiding you through Missouri’s legal landscape and aiming for the best possible outcome.
We listen carefully to your story, evaluate your case, and outline your legal options during a personalized consultation.
Our team collects all necessary evidence, including witness statements, medical records, and safety reports to build a strong case.
We engage with insurance companies and opposing parties to negotiate a fair settlement that reflects your damages.
If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are prepared to take your case to court to protect your rights and interests.
First, seek medical attention even if injuries seem minor. Prompt treatment is essential for your health and documenting injuries for your case.
Next, report the incident to the property owner or manager and collect evidence, such as photos of the scene and contact information of witnesses.
Missouri follows a comparative fault rule, which means you may still recover damages even if you were partially responsible, but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
It’s important to consult an attorney to accurately assess your situation and maximize your potential recovery.
The statute of limitations for slip and fall cases in Missouri is generally five years from the date of the accident.
However, it’s advisable to act promptly since gathering evidence and witness statements becomes more difficult over time.
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related costs resulting from your injury.
Each case is unique, so discussing your specific damages with an attorney is important.
While you can pursue a claim independently, having an experienced attorney can significantly improve your chances of a favorable outcome.
An attorney can handle complex legal procedures, negotiations, and ensure your rights are protected throughout the process.
Many slip and fall cases resolve through settlements, but some require litigation if fair agreements cannot be reached.
Our firm is prepared to take your case to court if necessary, but we strive to resolve matters effectively outside of trial whenever possible.
You can contact our office by phone at 314-794-9600 to set up a consultation at your convenience.
