Slip and Fall Injury Attorney in St. Louis, Missouri and Illinois
Slip and Fall Injuries occur out of the blue, when you least expect it, sometimes causing medical expenses and lost wages now and into the future. If you were injured in a slip and fall accident at a place of business or other public space, and if the party responsible for the property failed to prevent the hazardous situation that resulted in your injury, you may have a right to recover damages to help compensate you for your pain and suffering. Slip and fall cases are a type of premises liability, and your attorney needs to understand the specific laws and safety issues relating to property owners’ responsibilities to prevent and protect against slip and fall injuries. Just as importantly, your slip and fall lawyer should know how to investigate and find answers important to your case and uncover the truth about how your injury occurred.
