Slip or Trip and Fall Accident Lawyers
Missouri • Kansas • Southern Illinois
Slip and fall accidents are by far the most common premises liability law suits. The law requires property owners to provide safe, secure and properly maintained premises.
Here are some common causes of slip and fall injuries:
- Liquids that have been spilled or tracked inside
- Poorly maintained property
- Poor lighting
- Improperly placed rugs, furniture or fixtures.
Victims of slip and fall accidents often have multiple concerns, such as:
- Loss of income
- Medical bills, both present and future
- Reduced mobility
- Pain and suffering
Will You be Treated Like a Criminal Because of Somebody Else's Insurance Fraud?
If you are a victim of a slip and fall accident, recovery is often your primary concern - as it should be - but your rights as a victim may be left unprotected, or worse, ignored altogether.
The National Insurance Crime Bureau recently announced that it is closely scrutinizing slip and falls at businesses for fraud [1]. This was triggered by a rise in fraudulent claims since 2008.
Unfortunately, what this means for you is that the insurance company may treat you like a criminal who is out to defraud them, instead of an injured victim who needs to be compensated.
