Premises Liability Claims in Missouri
Counsel from a Proven St. Louis Personal Injury Attorney
"Premises liability" describes personal injury claims against
property owners and managers who failed to provide safe conditions for
people welcomed or allowed on their property. For some, premises liability,
is synonymous with "slip and fall" incidents, but in reality,
these claims can cover nearly any kind of injury.

conditions they never should have been exposed to in the first place.
Over that time, we have again and again held negligent property owners
responsible and allowed victims to move on from their injury with the
