Slip and fall accidents are among the most common personal injury cases in St. Louis. Poorly maintained commercial properties throughout North St. Louis, Dutchtown, Bevo Mill, and the Ville, negligent property management in densely populated residential neighborhoods, and dangerous conditions in commercial spaces across St. Louis City create injury risks every day. Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe premises. TopDog fights to get you every dollar you deserve.
From neglected commercial properties on Natural Bridge Avenue to poorly maintained apartment buildings throughout North St. Louis to dangerous sidewalks and infrastructure across Dutchtown and Bevo Mill — we know where dangerous conditions accumulate in St. Louis and who is responsible for them. Barnes-Jewish Hospital and SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital treat serious fall injuries from our communities regularly. Those accidents cause real damage to St. Louis families and we fight to get injured people the care and money they deserve.
Property owners and their insurers across St. Louis City and St. Louis County often use delay, deny, and lowball tactics and try to shift blame onto the injured person. Metro or City of St. Louis property falls require written notice under the Tort Claims Act. We know how to leverage the justice system in St. Louis City 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 — 90 Days): Falls on City of St. Louis property (sidewalks, parks, public buildings) or St. Louis County property require written notice to the government entity within 90 days under the Missouri Tort Claims Act — RSMo §§ 537.600, 537.610. Sovereign immunity for government property is waived only when the property was in a dangerous condition that the entity knew about or should have known about.
Property Owner Liability: Missouri requires the property owner to have either created the dangerous condition, known about it, or should have discovered it through reasonable inspection. The duty owed depends on the legal status of the person on the property.
Comparative Fault: Pure comparative fault — RSMo § 537.765. You can recover even if partly at fault. Property owners and insurers will argue you should have seen the hazard.
Note on Metro Properties: Metro Transit (MetroBus/MetroLink) is a government entity. Falls on Metro property — platforms, bus stops — require the 90-day MTCA notice.
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.
