Minnesota Slip/Trip and Fall Lawyers

A slip and fall accident occurs when you fall and are injured due to another party’s negligence. It could be because the sidewalk was not shoveled, for example. It could also occur in a store where the floor was left wet for you to slip and fall.

A slip and fall case isn’t any more difficult than any other personal injury case if you have help from an attorney. It can be difficult to prove who was at fault, but it’s certainly possible to successfully prove liability and be compensated for your injuries.

A slip and fall case is oftentimes resolved quickly due to the insurance company offering a reasonable settlement. We never stop fighting for our clients until they receive the compensation they deserve, though. This could take several months to several years depending on the circumstances and the severity of your injuries.

As soon as you’re injured, call 911 and seek medical attention. Sometimes injuries are more severe than they seem initially, so it’s important to be seen by a doctor. Once you’ve received the appropriate medical care, contact our personal injury attorneys to discuss the potential of a lawsuit.

If the owner of the property is found to be negligible for any reason, they may be responsible for the cost of your injuries, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We determine negligence based on your accident by looking at reasonable safety recommendations and upkeep for the property.

If another party is found to be negligible and to have caused your accident, their insurance company is responsible for compensating you for your expenses. Our personal injury attorneys work with slip and fall accident victims to ensure they get what they deserve without getting the runaround from insurance companies.

Slip and fall accidents occur when a property is not maintained to a reasonable standard. They often occur due to wet floors, snowy or icy walkways (especially in Minnesota!), uneven floors due to tile/concrete cracks, a lack of railings/guardrails, or poorly lit areas.
