Kansas City Premises Liability Lawyer

We don’t blame you.

When you get hurt on someone else’s property, you may think it was your fault: that you were clumsy or not paying enough attention.

Please don’t beat yourself up. Over our 40+ years of combined experience, we’ve learned it’s highly likely that someone else is responsible, for not being responsible.

We will dig deep to uncover exactly what happened and who is at fault. MRH Injury Law is a 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 place an emphasis on premises liability and property owner liability cases, and we know what’s expected of property owners, and when those rules are broken. For instance, retailers spend a great deal of money making displays that keep your eyes off the floor, then try to blame you when you slip and fall. That’s not right.

We dig deeper because we care, and we fight harder because it matters. We have taken numerous premises liability cases to jury trial, and insurance companies know it. When they see us coming, they often offer more, earlier in the process.

Powerful payouts.

What is a premises liability (or property owner’s liability) case?
Group 9 Group 9

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.

What qualifies for a premises liability claim?
Group 9 Group 9

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
How can I know MRH Injury Law has my best interest?
Group 9 Group 9

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.

What should I do after a premises liability accident?
Group 9 Group 9

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
What type of compensation is available on premises liability claims?
Group 9 Group 9

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?
