Kansas City Premises Liability Lawyer

We have taken numerous premises liability cases to jury trial, and insurance companies know it. When they see us coming, they offer more money, earlier in the process.

MRH Injury Law is a trial-focused Kansas City personal injury firm that uncovers what others miss, prepares every case for trial, and supports clients through every step of the process. We dig deeper because we care what happens to you, and we fight harder to protect your outcome at every step.

In our 40+ years of combined experience, we’ve learned it’s highly likely someone else is responsible for failing to take reasonable steps to prevent “your” accident. Our property negligence lawyers investigate thoroughly to determine who is at fault: hiring investigators, conducting depositions, recreating the scene, and building the strongest possible case.

It is often property owners who are responsible. Only they can prevent many of these incidents before they happen. With your help, we will continue working toward a community where businesses are motivated to prioritize safety and proactively prevent accidents.

Our property negligence attorneys work to take care of you throughout the process and maximize your recovery, financially and otherwise.

Put simply, it’s a danger on someone else’s property that they did not resolve AND either did know about it or should’ve known about it.

Common scenarios include slip and fall accidents, inadequate security, structural issues, falling objects, and animal attacks.

Common situations that could qualify for a premises liability claim include but are not limited to:

• Slip and fall accidents – wet or slippery floors, uneven surfaces, or inadequate warning signs
• Poorly maintained premises – leading to accidents, such as broken stairs, defective handrails, or damaged walkways
• Lack of proper security measures – leading to criminal assaults, robberies, or other crimes on the property
• Structural issues – such as structural defects, faulty construction, or inadequate building maintenance
• Falling objects – from shelves, ceilings, or other parts of the property
• Animal attacks – dog bites or other animal attacks that occur on the property
• Negligent security or supervision
• Inadequate warning signs – for known hazards on the property
• Construction site accidents – resulting from unsafe conditions on site

Our financial interests are aligned with yours. We don’t get paid unless you do.

Beyond that, we are not a high-volume personal injury law firm. We don’t churn and burn clients. We take only the cases we believe in, and we dig deeper and fight harder to maximize the compensation we recover for each.

We frequently take cases rejected by other law firms and settle them for millions of dollars.

Of course, top priority is always to get the medical attention needed. Beyond that:

1. Call the police immediately, make sure a report is made and ask for a copy – A police report helps provide objective evidence about how a premises liability accident happened and helps provide important information about the people involved
2. If you are hurt, seek medical attention immediately and do exactly what your doctor or health care provider tells you – Even if you have to go to a free medical clinic, taking care of your injuries and health problems is the most important thing to do after a premises liability accident because you need to understand your injuries and get help for them
3. Save all documents, including the police report, medical records, and repair estimates – Your lawyer will need to collect these documents and if you already have them, your case will move along much quicker
4. If possible, take photographs – Seeing the damage and aftermath has a big impact on people, including insurance adjusters and juries. This will greatly help your case.
5. Do not sign or agree to anything from an insurance company before you know your rights and speak to an attorney – Sometimes insurance companies will ask you to sign documents that will waive your right to other remedies or invite legal trouble down the road
6. Call our property negligence lawyers as soon as possible – so we can dig deeper and fight harder, developing a proactive litigation strategy before valuable evidence disappears

Each case is unique, but our lawyers are committed to digging deeper to uncover your maximum compensation. Our Kansas City premises liability attorneys will thoroughly explore compensation for:

• Severity and long-term impact of the injury, regardless of medical expenses
• Medical expense reimbursement – including hospitalization, surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing medical treatment
• Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
• Disability and impairment
• Rehabilitation and therapy costs
• Wrongful death damages – in the tragic event of a fatality, surviving family members may be eligible for compensation for funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and emotional distress
• Punitive damages – if the incident was particularly egregious, punitive damages may be awarded
• Legal fees – including attorney fees and court expenses

How much you get will depend on these 5 things:

1. How great are your losses?
2. How egregious is the liability?
3. Can the wrong-doer pay?
4. Where will you have to file suit?
5. Are you likeable?
