Effective Kansas and Missouri Premises Liability Lawyers
All too often when people think of slip and fall litigation, they picture a pratfall and a false claim of injury. At Holman Schiavone, LLC, in Kansas City, Missouri, we take premises liability cases seriously. Every year thousands of people are seriously injured as a result of poorly maintained property. Property owners are required to maintain safe, secure and properly maintained premises. When their failure to do so is inadequate and results in a serious injury, we are committed to helping obtain compensation for the resulting injuries.
Holding Property Owners Accountable for Slip and Fall Injuries
Slip and fall accidents are the most common type of premises liability claims. Slips and falls can cause serious injuries, including spine injuries, head injuries and broken bones. Our Kansas City slip and fall lawyers thoroughly investigate these cases to understand the cause for the accident and identify potential avenues for financial recovery. Some of the common causes of slip and fall injuries include:
- Failure to maintain walkways
- Unmarked sinkholes at construction sites
- Lack of warning signs
- Unmarked step-downs
- Defects in the floors or stairways
- Raised carpets or floor board
- Ice in the parking lot
Experienced Premises Liability Attorneys for All Types of Property Accidents
In addition to slip and fall litigation, our Kansas City personal injury attorneys are prepared to handle premises liability cases involving all forms of property hazards or negligence. Some of the cases we handle involve:
- Swimming pool accidents
- Amusement park injuries
- Negligent security/inadequate security
- Failure to post warnings at construction sites
- Attacks by animals
We have handled several premises liability cases related to improperly stocked or secured merchandise. One involved PVC piping that fell from a shelf and seriously injured our client.
While property owners have an obligation to maintain their property, they do not have the same obligation to every possible person that may set foot on their property. A higher standard is set for an invitee or a licensee who is injured on the property than for a trespasser. Therefore, it is important to discuss your situation with an experienced lawyer to identify what your legal options are. Our lawyers have the skill to assess the long-term consequences of our clients' injuries and the duty property owners had to protect them. We seek out all sources of recovery in premises liability cases in order to maximize the recovery our clients receive.
