Our Personal Injury Attorneys Understand Premises Liability Law In Missouri
As former judges and experienced trial lawyers, the personal injury attorneys at Harper, Evans, Hilbrenner & Netemeyer can help manage the complexities of your premises liability case, in particular the duty of protection you were owed while on the property. The duty a landowner owes you depends on what "status" you hold when you enter the property.
Landowners owe little duty to trespassers, who have neither express nor implied consent to enter the property. A greater duty is owed to licensees, who have an express or implied invitation to enter and remain on the property usually to the benefit of the guest. The highest duty owed by a property owner is toward an invitee, who has an express or implied invitation to enter and remain on the property usually at the benefit of both parties. Your status as a trespasser, licensee or invitee needs to be evaluated by a personal injury lawyer.
