Premises Liability Lawyers

Standing With Victims of Dangerous Property Conditions

Property owners — whether they’re private individuals, businesses, or large corporations — have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe. When they fail, the results can be devastating: life-altering injuries, wrongful death, and financial hardship for victims and their families.


At McCartney Stucky, we take on catastrophic injury premises liability cases that most law firms simply can’t — or won’t — handle. These claims often involve severe injuries, complex liability questions, and powerful corporate defendants. They require significant resources, top-tier experts, and a trial team that knows how to win.


At McCartney Stucky, we represent clients nationwide and locally in the New York City and Kansa City metro areas. If you’re searching for a premises liability lawyer, our attorneys who handles catastrophic cases, we’re the firm built for the fight.

Our Focus: Serious Premises Liability Litigation

Premises liability cases are not simple slip-and-fall claims — at least not the ones we take. Our focus is on catastrophic injury and wrongful death caused by unsafe property conditions, negligent security, and structural failures. These cases demand thorough investigation, expert witness testimony, and the resources to go toe-to-toe with corporate defendants and their insurers.



Our trial lawyers work with safety engineers, building code specialists, structural experts, and accident reconstruction teams to prove both liability and the full extent of damages. Founding partners Terry McCartney and Chris Stucky have decades of experience winning multi-million-dollar verdicts in complex injury litigation, giving our clients a decisive advantage.
