Common Causes of Slip and Fall accidents
Slip and fall accidents often occur due to hazardous conditions that property owners fail to address. Common causes include:
- Wet or slippery floors – Spills, leaks, or recently mopped surfaces without warning signs
- Uneven surfaces – Cracked sidewalks, loose floorboards, or potholes
- Poor lighting – Dimly lit stairwells, hallways, or parking lots
- Cluttered walkways – Cords, debris, or obstacles creating tripping hazards
- Unsafe staircases – Broken steps, missing handrails, or worn carpeting
- Icy or snowy walkways – Failure to clear or treat surfaces in a timely manner
Understanding Missouri’s Premises Liability Laws
In Missouri, property owners are legally obligated to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition to prevent slip and fall accidents. To prevent slip and fall accidents, property owners should:
- Regularly inspect the property: Identify and address potential hazards promptly.
- Maintain safe conditions: Ensure floors are dry, walkways are clear, and lighting is adequate.
- Provide warnings: Use signage to alert visitors to any known dangers that cannot be immediately rectified.
By adhering to these responsibilities, property owners can reduce the risk of slip and fall accidents and fulfill their legal obligations under Missouri law.

St. Louis Slip and Fall Lawyers FAQS
Liability depends on where and why you fell. Property owners, businesses, landlords, or municipalities may be held responsible if they failed to maintain safe conditions. Missouri and Illinois require property owners to fix hazards or warn visitors of potential dangers. Our team will investigate your accident to determine who is at fault and fight for the compensation you deserve.
Property owners are responsible for maintaining safe conditions and regularly inspecting their premises. Even if they claim they didn’t know about the hazard, they may still be liable if they should have known about it through reasonable inspections and maintenance. Our team will gather evidence to prove negligence and fight for your compensation.
Liability depends on where and why the fall happened.
Landlord’s Responsibility: If the fall occurred in common areas (hallways, staircases, parking lots) due to poor maintenance, broken stairs, or snow/ice buildup, the property owner may be liable.
Tenant’s Responsibility: If the fall happened inside a tenant’s apartment due to hazards they created or failed to address, the tenant may be responsible.
In some cases, both parties may share liability. At Cantor Injury Law, we determine who is at fault and fight for your maximum compensation.
Yes, but slip and fall claims against government entities (such as a city sidewalk, government building, or public park) have different rules and strict deadlines. These cases require filing a notice of claim within a specific time frame, so it’s crucial to contact Cantor Injury Law immediately to protect your rights.
Most cases settle outside of court through negotiations with insurance companies or property owners. However, if a fair settlement isn’t offered, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial to fight for the maximum compensation you deserve.
No, not without consulting a lawyer first. Insurance companies and property owners often offer low settlements that don’t fully cover your medical bills, lost wages, and long-term suffering. They may pressure you to accept quickly, hoping to minimize their payout before you understand the full extent of your injuries.
At Cantor Injury Law, we review settlement offers, calculate your true damages, and negotiate aggressively to ensure you get the full compensation you deserve. If they refuse to offer a fair settlement, we are prepared to take your case to trial.
