What Is a Slip & Fall Accident?
Slip and fall accidents happen when someone loses their footing on a wet, uneven, or hazardous surface. These accidents can occur on sidewalks, in stores, parking lots, or any public or private property. Common causes include:
- Wet or Slippery Floors: Unmarked spills or leaks can lead to dangerous conditions.
- Uneven Surfaces: Cracked sidewalks, potholes, or broken tiles create tripping hazards.
- Poor Lighting: Insufficient lighting can obscure hazards, increasing the risk of falls.
- Lack of Handrails: Staircases or ramps without proper handrails can cause serious accidents.
Premises Liability: Holding Property Owners Accountable
Under Missouri law, property owners have a responsibility to maintain safe premises for visitors. When they fail to address hazards or warn guests about dangerous conditions, they can be held liable for injuries that occur as a result. Our attorneys will thoroughly investigate your case, gathering evidence to prove negligence and strengthen your claim.
Injuries from Slip & Fall Accidents
Slip and fall injuries can range from minor bruises to life-altering conditions. Common injuries include:
Broken Bones:
Wrists, hips, and ankles are particularly vulnerable.
Head Injuries:
Falls can lead to concussions or even traumatic brain injuries.
Back and Spinal Cord Injuries:
Slips can cause damage to the spinal cord, resulting in chronic pain or limited mobility.
Soft Tissue Injuries:

These injuries often require costly medical treatment, rehabilitation, and can lead to lost wages. At Lake Munro, we fight to secure the compensation you need to cover these expenses and support your recovery.
