Slip and Fall Accidents
What are the most common claims in premises liability suits?
Slip and fall accidents are by far the most common premises liability law suits and are often caused by a sticky or slippery substance on the floor. What might seem like an innocent spill can result in serious injury – and the law requires property owners to provide safe, secure and properly maintained premises.

Lawyer's Story...
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
A Client's Story...
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.

Things You Should Know...
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
