Premises liability is an area of law that holds negligent property owners accountable for the preventable injuries that guests suffer while on their premises, including those commonly arising from slip and fall accidents.
Some people may think that these injuries aren't all that serious, but we have seen them turn the worlds of countless people upside down. A simple fix of a problem by the property owner — or at least a “Caution” sign — could have prevented a devastating injury that costs the victim months or even years in recovery time, not to mention the crippling expense of medical bills.
At Wilkins Schneller Law, we believe that when you are the guest on someone else’s property, you should have a reasonable expectation of safety for yourself and, more importantly, your loved ones. If an owner or entity has breached that trust, you should hold them accountable.
From our first conversations about your accident to the final settlement, we leave no stone unturned to get you 100% fair compensation. When you or a loved one suffer as a direct result of negligence, you need an experienced St. Louis premises liability lawyer to pursue their claim against the property owner or operator. When we step in, we help you stand up to negligent property owners and their insurance companies so that no one else also gets hurt.

Filing A
premises liability claim
The unfortunate reality is that most premises liability accidents are usually preventable. Premises liability law mandates that owners that invite guests onto their property must exercise a reasonable duty of care, which means they must:
Take proper steps to maintain a safe, clean, and hazard-free premises
Warn guests of hazardous conditions on the premises
When building codes are not followed, maintenance is avoided, or there is not adequate signage of potential hazards, dangerous conditions can develop which may cause devastating injuries. Dealing with premises liability injuries such as concussions, broken bones, and other orthopedic injuries is a challenge in and of itself.
Not only can these cause a significant amount of pain, but your injury may be worse than you initially believe, with certain complications from these accidents not showing up right away and becoming evident perhaps weeks or sometimes months later.
At Wilkins Schneller Law, we support you through this challenging time and can assist you with arranging any necessary medical treatment. While you focus on getting better, we handle the legal aspects of your claim and take the stress off your shoulders.
When it's all said and done, the property owner — whether it’s a large corporation, a small business, or someone you know personally — must be held accountable for their careless actions and the full impact they have on your life.
