Kansas City KS Premises Liability Law:

Premises liability law (often referred to as “slip and fall accidents” “trip and fall accidents” or “falling injuries”) is a Missouri and Kansas legal term for an injury that happens when someone slips, trips or falls as a result of a dangerous or hazardous condition on someone else’s property.  It includes falls as a result of water, ice or snow, as well as sudden changes in flooring (a raised or lowered portion of the floor for example), poor lighting or even a hidden hazard such as a gap or hard to see hole in the ground.

Kansas City KS Falling Injury – Property Owner’s Duties:

Property owners in Kansas and Missouri are responsible for injuries that result from a dangerous or hazardous condition on their property, which the owner knew about, or should have known about.  These dangerous floor, ground or sidewalk conditions may be obvious, such as ice or snow on a sidewalk, or hidden, such as a hole in a lawn that may be covered by grass.  In general, a Missouri or Kansas property owner will be considered to have knowledge of a dangerous or hazardous condition if it is permanent in nature, since the owner knew, or should have known, about the condition before the accident happened.  In cases of temporary dangerous conditions, such as a water spill, how long the dangerous condition was there before the fall actually happened is important for Mr. Shetlar to know for his case evaluation in Missouri or Kansas.  If the water spill happened just before the accident, a Missouri or Kansas property owner may not be responsible since the owner could not have known about the spill before the falling injury happened.  However, if the spill was there for some period of time before the accident, or happened in an area where there were frequent spills, then the property owner may be legally responsible, even if the owner was unaware of the water spill.  These are all the facts that Mr. Shetlar will consider in his free initial case evaluation and give you his legal analysis so you can make the right legal choice.
