Compensation for Your Losses After an Accidental Injury
Our team at Aaron Sachs & Associates can focus on pursuing the funds you need to pay for your economic and non-economic losses through a premises liability claim. In many cases, the liable party will need to pay for your:
- Medical bills
- Lost income
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Emotional distress
We’ll work tirelessly to track all of your losses because we want to help you make a full financial recovery.
Comparative Negligence and Your Level of Compensation
The compensation you receive after your accident will partially depend on your percentage of fault for the incident due to the pure comparative negligence laws used in Missouri.
Your level of compensation drops directly in line with your degree of fault. For example, let’s say you sustain $100,000 in losses after a fall. However, you’re 25% at fault for the incident. In this situation, you could only get $75,000 to cover your losses.

Types of Premises Liability Cases
The most common premises liability cases we see at our firm are dog bites and slip–and–fall accidents. Homeowners insurance should cover dog bites that happen in the home and may even cover dog bites in public.
Slip-and-fall accidents, on the other hand, happen most often in grocery stores like Hy-Vee, in restaurants like Aviary by Lavender Falls Cafe, on sidewalks, and in parking lots. Because these are businesses or public properties, claims against business insurance providers or the government may come into play.
Other types of premises liability cases may include:
- Snow and ice claims
- Negligent security claims
- Attractive nuisance claims

Where Premises Liability Accidents Occur
Premises liability accidents occur wherever and whenever unsafe conditions on someone else‘s property cause injury. Slips, trips, falls, and other accidents can happen at businesses like the Oasis Hotel & Convention Center or Battlefield Mall, in homes and apartment complexes, and even on government-owned property.
If you’re injured on public or private property in Springfield, you may have the right to pursue a claim against the organization responsible for maintaining the area.
Similarly, private property owners and corporations have a duty to keep their premises safe. If they fail to uphold this duty, they can be found liable for injuries and accidents. Our premises liability attorneys in Springfield can explain more and handle your legal needs.

How We Prove Fault for Premises Liability Claims
Generally, property owners must exercise reasonable care in owning and maintaining their properties, especially when they expect others to enter it. Proving a premises liability claim means proving negligence, or showing that property owners failed to uphold their duty of care.
Although property owners owe different duties of care to different kinds of visitors (invitees, licensees, and trespassers), most people who visit a property are invitees and are owed the highest duty of care.
This means property owners can be found liable for hazards they knew or should have known about when those hazards cause accidents and injuries on their property. We need to investigate to gather proof to strengthen your claim. Our investigation may require us to:
- Interview witnesses and take their statements
- Get a copy of all accident reports about the incident
- Look for surveillance footage that shows what happened
Our team at Aaron Sachs & Associates can start investigating your case right away.
The Statute of Limitations for Premises Liability Claims
Missouri law sets a strict deadline, known as the statute of limitations, for filing a premises liability lawsuit. Under Missouri Revised Statutes (RSMo) § 516.120, you have a limited window to take legal action, and missing this deadline can permanently bar you from recovering compensation.
Because the applicable time frame can vary depending on the circumstances of your case, it’s important to act quickly. Our Springfield premises liability lawyers at Aaron Sachs & Associates can confirm how much time you have and make sure your claim is filed on time.
