Slip and Fall Attorney in Kansas City, Missouri

Slip and fall cases, also known as premises liability or trip and fall cases, often involve a landowner or property manager/operator ignoring or failing to remedy dangerous conditions that lead to personal injury. Landowners and property managers have a legal responsibility to guests to keep their property safe and free of dangerous conditions.

Successful prosecution of slip and fall cases can be difficult, and often require investigation into the facts, circumstances and safety regulations that may apply to a particular property.
