When you are injured on someone's property, you may be entitled to recover damages for your injuries.  Property owners and property managers are required by law to maintain their property.  Homeowners and business owners are held accountable for injuries under premises liability law.  If the owner of the premises is aware of a dangerous condition on the property, he has a duty to fix or remove the dangerous condition in order to secure the safety of all persons entering the property.  At Stigall Whitworth, we can help you if you have been hurt or if a loved one has been killed by a dangerous condition on someone else's property. We represent clients in cases involving:

• Negligent or Inadequate Security:  Owners of gas stations, bars, restaurants and other public places are responsible for the safety of their patrons.  This includes providing adequate security to guard against fights, violent muggings, shootings and other dangerous situations.
• Powerlines/Electrocutions:   Our personal injury lawyers represent clients injured and families of those who have suffered wrongful death by electrocution.
• Slip-and-Falls:  It is common in stores, restaurants and other public places for patrons to slip on spilled liquids and food items.  If the store owner or manager knew or should have known about the spill, they can be held liable for the injuries caused by these accidents.

If you were injured on someone else's property, you may be entitled to recover damages.  These damages include payment for medical costs and expenses, lost wages and loss of future earnings.  In some cases, you may recover damages for pain and suffering and emotional distress.  Call the personal injury lawyers at Stigall Whitworth today (816) 876-2600 for a free case evaluation.
