What should I do if I slip and fall on property owned by another party?
The attorneys at Contigo Centro Legal often receive phone calls from people who have been injured on property owned by a business or another person. Most often, a slip and fall accident has occurred, resulting in a head injury, back injury, broken bones or other type of injury.
If you were injured on property owned by another party, you are probably asking:
Who will pay for my medical bills?
Is the property owner at fault for my injuries?
Should I be compensated by the property owner for my injuries?
If I miss work, how will I get paid for lost wages?
The attorneys at Contigo Centro Legal will help answer your questions. Our personal injury attorneys offer free consultations, which means we will evaluate your slip and fall case at no upfront cost to you. Once we gather the facts of your case, we will explain your legal rights and options. If we determine you have a case against the property owner, we will fight for the maximum compensation for your injuries.
How to Prove a Slip and Fall Case in Missouri or Kansas
Unfortunately, just because you fall on property owned by another party does not mean you are entitled to compensation for your injuries. As the injured party, you are responsible for proving the facts of your case, which is why it is critical to hire a personal injury attorney who understands the law and can gather the evidence necessary to prove your case. To be eligible for compensation under Missouri or Kansas law, you must:
Show that the property owner or other defendant had a responsibility to keep the property safe and fix any dangerous conditions to prevent you from falling and being injured.
Prove that the property owner was negligent and failed to take appropriate actions to ensure your safety.
Prove that you sustained damages as a result of your fall. Damages could include medical bills, lost wages, future lost earnings or future medical bills.

The laws in Kansas and Missouri do not specifically define how to calculate pain and suffering, therefore it can be difficult for you to recover a fair settlement without an experienced personal injury attorney. The attorneys at Contigo Centro Legal can help you understand the compensation you are eligible to receive and what damages you may be able to recover as a result of your slip and fall accident.
Without having an experienced attorney on your side, you risk receiving much less compensation than the full value of your claim.
