Slip & Fall Lawyer

We have a proven blueprint for success with trip/slip & fall cases. We have taken these cases to trial, and insurance companies know it—when they see us coming, they often increase settlement offers early in the process.

In our 40+ years of combined experience, we’ve learned that these cases often come down to one key question: did someone fail to take reasonable steps to prevent your injury? That’s where our slip & fall injury lawyers focus their work.

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. In these cases, that means carefully reconstructing the scene, working with investigators, and building a clear picture of what should have been done to prevent the fall.

We dig deeper because these injuries are often preventable, and we fight harder when property owners or insurance companies try to shift blame away from themselves.

It is often property owners who are responsible for creating or failing to fix unsafe conditions. With your help, we work to hold them accountable and encourage safer practices across Kansas City businesses.

Our slip & fall injury lawyers focus on taking care of you throughout the process while maximizing your recovery, financially and otherwise.

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. We dig deeper because we care what happens to you. We fight harder to protect your outcome at every step.

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 slip and fall lawers as soon as possible – so we can dig deeper and fight harder, developing a proactive litigation strategy before valuable evidence disappears

In Missouri, the statute of limitations for slip or trip and fall cases is typically five years from the date of the incident. In Kansas, it is generally two years from the date of the accident.

In either state, there may be exceptions or specific circumstances that could affect the time limit, such as the location of the incident and whether the property owner is a public entity or private individual. We will help you understand those exceptions during our free initial consultation.

Each case is unique, but our Kansas City trip & fall injury lawyers are committed to digging deeper and uncovering your maximum compensation. We 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?
