Dangerous conditions on any property can lead to accidents that cause serious harm. Property owners in St. Louis are legally obligated to maintain safe environments on their premises, whether it’s a grocery store, office building, apartment complex, restaurant, parking lot, or other location.Â
If a property owner’s negligence created unsafe conditions and you or someone you love was injured as a result, you may be entitled to compensation from the property owner. An experienced St. Louis premises liability lawyer in TopDog Law’s legal network can evaluate your damages and fight to maximize compensation for all of your damages and losses.Â
Whether you were injured in a slip and fall accident, a swimming pool, a gas station with negligent security, a dog bite attack or something else, you have rights and you deserve to be fully and fairly compensated.
Premises liability refers to accidents caused by hazardous conditions on someone else’s property. In Missouri, property owners can be held legally responsible for injuries caused by their negligence, depending on the visitor’s reason for being on the property.
The role of a visitor—whether as a customer, guest, or trespasser—affects the level of responsibility a property owner has. For example:
There is an important exception for children who trespass. The “attractive nuisance” doctrine holds property owners responsible for securing dangerous features, such as pools, that might lure children onto their property. The Supreme Court of Missouri set the standards for applying the attractive nuisance law to premises liability cases.
Accidents can happen anywhere, but some of the most common hazards that lead to premises liability claims in St. Louis include:
To succeed in a premises liability case, your attorney must prove that the property owner’s negligence caused your injury by establishing four key elements:
A property owner’s failure to warn about a potentially dangerous condition and the foreseeability of an accident are strong factors in determining liability in premises liability cases. For instance, an apartment complex neglected to promptly fix an unsteady handrail on a set of stairs, or a gas station owner failed to fix broken surveillance cameras after a spate of crime on their property.
Missouri follows a comparative fault system when determining liability. Under this rule, you can still recover damages if you are partially at fault for the accident. However, the amount of compensation you can receive is reduced in proportion to your degree of fault.
Property owners and their insurance companies often try to shift the blame onto the injured person for an accident to reduce their payouts in personal injury cases. A St. Louis premises liability attorney from the TopDog Law network can beat back their efforts and fight for the full and fair compensation you deserve.
Injuries from premises liability incidents can range from minor to life-altering. Common injuries include:
Every injury claim must be backed by medical evidence to document the severity and long-term impact. A TopDog Law attorney will work with you to gather the necessary medical records and, if needed, obtain expert testimony to strengthen your case.
Victims of premises liability accidents may be entitled to various forms of compensation, also known as damages, which typically include:
In extreme cases involving willful misconduct or gross negligence, Missouri courts may also award punitive damages to punish the wrongdoer. If a premises liability accident results in death, surviving family members can pursue a wrongful death claim, which can include additional compensation for loss of companionship, loss of financial support, funeral expenses, and more.
If you’ve been injured on someone else’s property in St. Louis, taking the following steps can help strengthen your premises liability claim:
Insurance companies often try to settle claims quickly and for as little money as possible. They may use your statements against you to reduce their payout. They may try to take advantage of you with a lowball offer, knowing that you may be out of work and facing costly medical bills. They may even delay your claim, hoping you’ll settle out of frustration.
Don’t speak to insurance adjusters before consulting with a lawyer. Let your attorney handle all communications to protect your rights and ensure you get the full compensation you deserve. People who seek damages through a lawyer often obtain 3.5 times more compensation in some personal injury cases than those who don’t.
