Missouri & Illinois Premises Liability Lawyer
Slip and fall injuries are the common name for the class of cases known as premises liability. Landowners have a duty to protect others from dangerous conditions on the property. The scope of the land owners' duty depends on the classification injured party. There are three types of classes: an invitee, a licensee, and a trespasser.
What we have to prove in each case depends on which of these three classes apply. Because many slip and fall injuries occur at businesses. Courts have held that such patrons are classified as business invitees. As such, businesses must fix or warn of any dangerous condition
it knows or could know exits. While high level managers can often be of little help, these cases are often won with the testimony of the front-line workers. These employees will often tell it like it is, and provide the evidence the jury needs to hear.
Of course, slip and fall injuries can occur in any variety of ways, not just at businesses. If you have been injured due to a dangerous condition on another's property, you may have a worthy case. Contact
