Premises liability is an area of personal injury law that holds property owners responsible when unsafe conditions on their property cause someone to get hurt. Missouri law imposes upon owners and occupiers of property a duty of care toward people who lawfully enter their premises. That means they must take reasonable steps to identify, repair, or warn visitors about dangerous conditions.
The extent of this duty depends on the visitor’s legal status. In Missouri, most premises liability cases involve invitees, or people invited onto the property for business purposes, such as customers in a store. Property owners owe invitees the highest level of care. They must regularly inspect the property and fix or warn about dangers they know about (or should know about through routine maintenance).
Invitees are distinct from licensees, such as social guests. Property owners still have an obligation to warn licensees of any known hazards, but don’t have similar obligations when it comes to inspecting their property for unknown hazards.
Property owners generally owe no such duty to trespassers, whom they have not invited onto their property. However, Missouri law makes some exceptions, particularly when the trespasser is a child who may be unaware of a hazard or drawn to the property by a swimming pool or other feature.
Premises liability accidents can happen almost anywhere, whether on private, public, or commercial property. In a popular tourist destination like Branson and greater Taney County, the risk is especially high in areas that see heavy foot traffic, especially from visitors who may not be familiar with the area. Whether you’re visiting a theater, dining out, or vacationing at a resort, a property owner’s negligence can quickly turn an ordinary and otherwise enjoyable experience into something unpleasant.
Some common locations in and around Branson where these accidents can occur include:
Accidents can happen in many ways, depending on the type of property and the conditions present, and owners’ failure to fix or warn about hazards can have serious consequences. Common types of accidents on Branson properties include:
Premises liability accidents can lead to a wide range of injuries. Some victims suffer sprains, broken bones, bruises, or deep cuts. Others face more serious harm like head trauma, back and neck injuries, spinal cord damage, or even permanent disability. Depending on the nature and severity of the injury, a person’s recovery process might involve surgery, rehabilitation, time away from work, and, in catastrophic cases, the need for ongoing care and support.
Proving fault directly affects your ability to recover compensation for your accident-related expenses and losses. A successful premises liability claim requires you to establish that the property owner was at fault for your injuries because they knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to take reasonable steps to fix it or warn you.
To prove the Taney County property owner’s fault, your premises liability attorney will immediately begin looking into the available evidence, such as:
Missouri law typically imposes a five-year deadline to file a premises liability lawsuit, starting on the date the injury occurred. This statute of limitations applies to most personal injury claims, and if you miss the deadline, you could lose your right to seek compensation altogether. However, exceptions may apply in certain situations, including claims involving minors. Holland Injury Law, LLC, can determine the exact deadline for your specific case in Branson and file the required paperwork on time.
