Pedestrian Injuries
St. Louis lawyers help you make a case
Pedestrian injury cases are often thought of as slip and fall accidents. However, there are many types of accidents occurring on premises/property involving pedestrians. Attorneys at Growe, Eisen & Karlen LLC can help protect your rights and help you gain proper compensation for such injuries.
As you conduct every day activities, you are often unaware of the unsafe conditions that surround you. One day your path may take you dangerously close to these unsafe conditions, and you may suffer severe, debilitating, or permanent injuries.
The party responsible for the safekeeping of the premises—a homeowner, business, government, or other entity—is also responsible when someone is injured through negligence. You deserve to have a St. Louis injury law firm that will:
- Examine and investigate the condition
- Investigate past reports of unsafe conditions at the same location
- Prove violations of applicable building and safety codes
Examine and investigate the condition
This means proving negligence and causation. A St. Louis personal injury lawyer at Growe, Eisen & Karlen will act quickly to examine the scene of the fall, and determine what and who was responsible for all aspects of your injury. There is no substitute for securing the scene as soon as possible.
Investigate past reports of unsafe conditions
To establish notice on the part of homeowner, business, or other entity in control of the premises, Growe, Eisen & Karlen thoroughly investigate all past reports. This has the potential to be very persuasive evidence in proving your lawsuit. Sometimes there are publicly available records, or, in other instances, a canvas of the neighborhood or building is necessary. This argument must be forcefully advanced by your lawyer.
Prove violations of applicable building and safety codes
Engineers are vital in proving violations of applicable building and safety codes. In these cases, special attention should be given by your attorney to the presence or absence of sufficient lighting, handrail support, the height of risers and treads on the stairs, carpeting or flooring, and the overall condition of the area in which the fall occurred.
