Slip and fall accidents are among the most common personal injury cases in Kansas City. Poorly maintained commercial properties throughout the East Side, Ivanhoe, Swope Park, and Blue Hills, neglected infrastructure across Kansas City's older neighborhoods, and dangerous conditions in commercial spaces across Jackson County create injury risks every day — especially during Kansas City's harsh winter weather. Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe premises. TopDog fights to get you every dollar you deserve.
From neglected commercial properties on Prospect Avenue and 18th Street to poorly maintained apartment buildings throughout Ivanhoe and Blue Hills to icy sidewalks and parking lots that go uncleared across the East Side — we know where dangerous conditions accumulate in Kansas City and who is responsible for them. Truman Medical Center treats serious fall injuries from our communities regularly. Those accidents cause real damage to Kansas City families and we fight to get injured people the care and money they deserve.
Property owners and their insurers across Kansas City and Jackson County often use delay, deny, and lowball tactics and try to shift blame onto the injured person. KCATA and Kansas City government property falls require written Tort Claims Act notice. We know how to leverage the justice system in Jackson County Circuit Court to fight back.
IMPORTANT MISSOURI LEGAL INFORMATION — SLIP AND FALL
Statute of Limitations: 5 years from the date of injury — RSMo § 516.120(4).
Government Property (Critical): Falls on City of Kansas City property — sidewalks, parks, public buildings — or KCATA property are governed by the Missouri Tort Claims Act (RSMo § 537.600). Written notice must be filed within 90 days for premises claims (RSMo § 82.210). Sovereign immunity is only waived for dangerous conditions on public property when the government had actual or constructive notice of the condition. Damages are capped at $300,000 per person — RSMo § 537.610.
Property Owner Liability: The property owner must have created the hazardous condition, known about it, or should have known about it through reasonable inspection. The injured person must have acted reasonably under the circumstances.
Pure Comparative Fault: Missouri follows pure comparative fault — RSMo § 537.765. You can recover even if partly at fault, but your award is reduced by your fault percentage. Property owners will attempt to shift fault to you to reduce recovery.
This is a brief summary of commonly applied laws in the jurisdiction. There are often different laws that apply to different circumstances. Once you hire TopDog, your attorney will advise you on the applicable laws.
Insurance companies for property owners may make early low offers and often use delay, deny, and lowball tactics. TopDog fights for the full recovery — and moves immediately on government property cases to protect notice deadlines.
