Signs You May Have a Slip and Fall Case in St. Louis

Not every slip and fall results in a valid personal injury claim . Under Missouri law, you'll generally need to show that a property owner knew or reasonably should have known-about a dangerous condition and failed to fix it or provide adequate warning. That's what separates an unavoidable accident from negligence.

Why choose us

Why Choose Our St. Louis Slip and Fall Attorney Team?

In many slip and fall cases, the strongest evidence doesn't last. Security footage can be overwritten, hazardous conditions may be repaired, and witnesses become harder to locate over time. That's why our St. Louis slip and fall attorneys begin investigating as soon as we're hired- preserving the facts that can strengthen your claim.

16+ Years of Legal Experience

Including 12 years on the insurance-defense side, so we know exactly how adjusters build their case against you.

$7 Million+ Recovered

For clients since 2022, in settlements and verdicts across car accident, premises liability, and injury claims.

Hundreds of Cases

Taken through settlement or trial — attorneys who only settle lose leverage at the negotiating table.

Local Court Experience

In the 22nd Judicial Circuit (City of St. Louis) and 21st Judicial Circuit (St. Louis County) – we know the judges and how local juries view these cases.

Trial Ready

Insurers negotiate differently with a firm that will actually take a case to court instead of settling for less.

When you call, you talk to your attorney — not a case manager who has to check with someone else before answering.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you’ve been seriously injured, the property owner denies responsibility, or the insurance company is pushing back on your claim, it’s a good idea to speak with a St. Louis slip and fall attorney. We’ll review your case, explain your options, and help you understand the best path forward.

At Thompson Law STL, you don’t pay anything upfront. We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you only pay us if we recover compensation for you. That way, you can focus on healing instead of worrying about legal fees.

In most Missouri personal injury cases, you generally have five years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. However, certain situations may have shorter deadlines, so it’s best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.

You may still be able to recover compensation even if you were partly responsible for the accident. Missouri follows a pure comparative fault rule, so your recovery may be reduced by your share of fault- not eliminated. We’ll evaluate the facts and explain how the law applies.

Photos of the accident scene, medical records, witness information, surveillance footage, and incident reports can all help support your claim. If you don’t have everything, don’t worry. Our team can help gather and preserve the evidence needed to build a strong case. 

Most personal injury claims are resolved through settlement, not a trial. However, if the insurance company refuses to make a fair offer, we’re prepared to take your case to court and fight for the compensation you deserve. 

Every case is different, so there’s no standard settlement amount. The value of your claim depends on factors like your injuries, medical expenses, lost income, and how the accident has affected your life. We’ll evaluate your case and provide an honest assessment.

Before giving a recorded statement or accepting a settlement offer, consider speaking with an attorney. Insurance companies are focused on protecting their bottom line. We’ll handle communications on your behalf and work to protect your right to fair compensation.
