Who Should Contact Us

If any of these situations apply to you, we can help

Crime Occurred on Commercial Property

Your assault, shooting, robbery, or other violent crime happened at a gas station, apartment complex, hotel, parking lot, bar, nightclub, or other commercial property.

Inadequate Security

The property had poor lighting, broken security cameras, no security guards, or other security failures that may have contributed to the crime.

Known Crime History

The property owner knew or should have known about prior crimes in the area. A history of violent incidents may establish foreseeability under Missouri premises liability law.

Significant Injuries or Losses

You suffered serious physical injuries, emotional trauma, medical expenses, lost wages, or other significant damages as a result of the crime.

You want to understand your legal options.

Even if you've already reported the crime to police or applied for crime victim compensation, you may still have the right to pursue a civil claim against the property owner through a premises liability lawyer in Missouri. Our negligent security attorney consultation will help you understand when property owners can be held accountable and whether you have a valid claim.
