Accidents
happen every single day in the Kansas City metropolitan area. Many
times, our clients contact us and are not aware they may have a claim for
their injuries. Who is responsible for an injury resulting
from a slip and fall accident? Sometimes, the property owner
is responsible (liable) for the accident, and sometimes he/she is not.
Contact
Stanton & Redlingshafer, LLC and one of our experienced attorneys will
provide a free consultation and evaluate your case. Typically,
the key liability questions in a slip and fall case are: (1) Who are the
potential liable parties? and (2) Were those parties actually negligent in
causing (or failing to prevent) the accident?
There are many causes for slip and fall accidents including wet floors, uneven walkways, bad lighting, a liquid spill in an aisle of the grocery store, uneven and damaged stairs and many other deficiencies. All of these situations can lead to serious injuries such as broken bones, sprains, fractures, head injuries, spine injuries, or even brain injuries. Typically, the gravity of the injury is not disputed, BUT, it can often be difficult to determine who should be responsible and at fault for causing the slip and fall accident. It is important to act quickly to determine your rights and ability to recover for the injuries you suffered
