Congratulations to Brian Franciskato, partner, and Amanda Cryderman, paralegal, on their recognition and involvement at the American Association for Justice Annual Convention held in Nashville, TN, this year.
Can you hold a business owner liable if you are injured on their premises because they failed to provide appropriate security measures? It is possible and would usually be considered a negligent or inadequate security premises liability claim. Under premises liability, business owners must provide reasonably safe conditions for visitors.
Many slip, trip, and fall accidents result in minor injuries, a sprain, a laceration, bruises. We do not always think of these types of accidents resulting in serious injuries yet serious falls are most common in the elderly, those over age 65.
If you are not aware of the dangers of slip, trip and fall accidents, these statistics and facts will help educate and inform you about the potential dangers.
Companies are supposed to design and manufacture safe products. No matter what the product is, it should be reasonably safe and, if necessary, come with clear instructions and warnings. Unfortunately, that is not always the case.
Have you been involved in a car accident? Did you suffer serious injuries? Wondering if you should contact an attorney and when? If your car accident was severe or complicated, contacting a car accident attorney (aka, personal injury lawyer) should be top of your to-do list. Call a lawyer right after the accident occurs (and before any settlement with the insurance company) to protect your rights and find out your legal options. While many cases settle, it is always best to have the experience of a car accident attorney in case your case does go to trial.
In 2022, 14% of motorists, or about one in seven drivers were uninsured, according to a 2023 study by the Insurance Research Council (IRC) (in Missouri, it was 16%). While all states require drivers to carry a minimum amount of car liability insurance on a vehicle, not everyone does so you want to make sure you have enough uninsured coverage.
In Missouri, drivers are required to carry a car liability insurance to protect and compensate others injured in a car accident where you are legally at fault, and uninsured insurance (UM) to protect you from drivers who do not have car insurance.
We rely on products every day—from vehicles to toys to power tools—trusting they’ll work safely and as intended. But when something goes wrong, a defective product can cause serious harm. If you have been hurt by a product you thought was safe, you may want to pursue a product liability claim.
