Slip and Falls and Safety Hazards
A diligent business owner has a routine maintenance plan, responds promptly to reported hazards and instructs employees to keep a watchful eye. If you suffered serious injury because of a property owner's negligence, you may have a viable premises liability lawsuit.
The attorneys of Yonke & Pottenger, L.L.C. have a long record of verdicts and settlements in personal injury litigation, including many slip and falls and other premises liability injuries. We have sued retailers, restaurants, apartment building owners and homeowners in the Kansas City area, and surrounding counties of Missouri and Kansas:
- Spilled liquids or other slippery substances
- Mopped or waxed floors without caution signs
- Falling merchandise
- Broken steps, handrails or railings
- Uneven pavement or raised surfaces
- Poorly lit walkways or hallways
- Icy sidewalks
- Dog bites
Prompt Investigation is Critical!
Contact us quickly for a free case evaluation. We send investigators to document the hazardous conditions and interview witnesses. Attorneys Michael Yonke and Jason Pottenger and their legal team assemble the evidence: photos of the hazard and clients' injuries, medical records, building code violations, formal requests to fix dangerous conditions and prior injury settlements.
Falls and other accidents can result in substantial injuries — broken legs, hip and ankle fractures, lacerations and scars, head trauma, back injuries. One client suffered fractured vertebrae when falling merchandise in a warehouse store landed on his neck.
We pursue full damages for the medical care, lost earnings, pain and suffering and lasting disability. Most premises liability cases settle out of court, but we are prepared to take any case to a jury if negligence is disputed or the owner's insurer balks at fair compensation.
If an owner's negligence caused your injury, let us determine if you have a case. Call 866-764-3065 or contact us online for a free consultation. No recovery, no attorney fees.
