Slip and fall accidents are by far the most common claims in premises liability law suits. Common causes of slip and fall injuries are due to a foreign substance on the floor. The foreign substance is often either sticky or slippery. Other common causes are from unmarked uneven surfaces, or unmarked stepdowns, or holes in the walking surface, or defects in the floor, stairs, or stairways. If you have been injured in a slip and fall accident you may be entitled to recover monetary damages from those responsible. The experienced personal injury attorneys of Brown & Crouppen can assist you in obtaining compensation for your injury.

Brown & Crouppen's team of experienced slip and fall accident attorneys know what types of investigation are essential to premises liability cases, and understand the complicated questions involved.

According to the law, property owners are obligated to provide safe, secure and properly maintained premises. Regardless of how or why a person enters a property, property owners may be held liable if injury occurs. Many factors can impact the outcome of a slip and fall liability case. Was the injured party (entrant) an invitee, licensee, or trespasser? Did the injury result from a natural or artificial condition of the premises? Was the property satisfactorily maintained?

Generally, the law provides for compensation of preventable accidents. Recompense may include loss of income, medical bills, as well as consideration for pain and suffering. Many businesses and homeowners carry premises liability insurance; however insufficient insurance leaves the property owner personally responsible for additional monies.

If you are a victim of a slip and fall accident, you may be too overwhelmed by physical and emotional trauma to even think about your rights, responsibilities and the future. At Brown & Crouppen, we make your interests our priority. Do not settle for less than fair compensation.

My name is Ed Herman and I work exclusively in the area of personal injury. I would like to take this opportunity to explain how we go about determining if someone has a slip and fall case that can be pursued successfully. A successful slip and fall case has three elements; liability, injury, and insurance. If any of these elements is missing the case will fail. Each element must be present.   CONTINUE

Hi, my name is Renee P. I am 87 years old and live in Creve Coeur, Missouri. I never thought that I would ever be involved in a personal injury lawsuit. But, that changed in December of 2000. I decided to have my hair styled at a local shop. I was sitting in the chair having my hair cut when the stylist told me to get up and walk over to the hair dryers. What I didn’t know was that the stylist had left a power cord right by my feet. When I tried to walk toward the dryer, I tripped on the cord and broke my right hip.   CONTINUE

If you’ve been hurt in a slip and fall accident it’s important to understand the “real” agenda of the insurance company in your case. First, understand the insurance company is not your friend, they are not looking out for you, they are only looking out for their own interests. See, insurance companies exist for one purpose only, to make money. Insurance companies make money by selling insurance and receiving premium payments, they then invest this money and make even more money. Insurance companies lose money by paying out benefits (money) to people hurt in slip and fall accidents caused by the people they insure.  CONTINUE
