Every business or property owner has a responsibility to keep conditions on their premises safe for people who visit, especially when that person is an invitee, such as a customer at a grocery store or diner at a restaurant. If an innocent victim slips on a freshly mopped floor that was missing a “caution” sign, the property owner could be held liable for the victim’s injuries, pain and suffering. This is an example of what is known as premises liability – the concept that Missouri property owners assume a duty of care to provide reasonably safe conditions for those lawfully using their premises.

Despite how preventable many premises liability cases are, there are still far too many tragic accidents taking place across the country every year. In 2022, there were 44,360 deaths across the U.S. from unintentional falls alone, with many of these incidents occurring outside the home as a result of a premises liability accident. For adults 65 and older, slip and fall accidents have been the leading cause of traumatic brain injury and death. In Missouri, 854 people died from unintentional falls in 2021.
The landscape of premises liability is wide, including other incidents like toxin exposure, fires and explosions, assault from negligent security, and more. As a community, it’s important that we provide a safe environment for one another and that we hold property owners accountable when they negligently put other people in danger.

Don’t fight Missouri property owners & insurance tycoons alone. Prepare a strong premises liability case with Duckworth Injury Law
Following a serious premises liability accident, the life of the injured party is often never the same. From the limited mobility caused by the injury to the daily pain of completing everyday tasks to having loved ones have to witness the pain the injured party is going through, life can be very difficult. However, you must do more than prove your injuries to win a premises liability case in Missouri.
Generally, an injured party must show the property owner has a legal duty to ensure the safety of their land and that the property owner failed to do so. Premises liability law can quickly become complex, as the duty of care owed to an injured party is based upon whether the injured party was an invitee, licensee, or trespasser at the time of the incident. For example, property owners are generally not liable for trespassers who are harmed on their premises. An experienced premises liability attorney should be able to prove that the property owner owed you a duty of care and that the accident and resulting injury happened as a result of the at-fault party breaching their duty of care.
To properly assess the merits of your premises liability claim, it is helpful for you to bring everything you believe may be important to your first case review with Duckworth Injury Law. This typically includes items such as video footage, medical records, photos of your injuries, photos of the property where the incident occurred, police reports, and any other form of evidence we can utilize to support your claim for compensation. With our Missouri premises liability lawyer, we will seek compensation above and beyond what is necessary to cover your medical bills. Other financial losses like future medical care (rehabilitation and therapy), lost wages, and pain and suffering are typically pursued as well.
Let our premises liability lawyer take on your case and relieve your legal burden. EC Duckworth has a proven record of success in Missouri, recovering hundreds of thousands of dollars for families who might have otherwise been ignored by businesses and their insurers. Reach out to Duckworth Injury Law, and if we believe you have a viable case, we will not waste time pursuing your case and providing you with the resources you need to recover.
