Minnesota Slip, Trip, & Fall Injury Attorney

Premises liability cases, commonly referred to as “slip and fall” cases, involve accidents that occur due to negligent maintenance, or unsafe and dangerous conditions upon property owned by someone other than the accident victim. Property owners and business establishments have a duty to provide a safe environment for individuals on their premises. Common situations giving rise to premises accidents include uneven floor surfaces, poorly marked changes in elevation, slippery surfaces, build-up of ice or snow, broken sidewalks, uneven elevators and broken steps.

When accidents or injuries occur to visitors or tenants, the owner of the property may be legally responsible if it was negligence or recklessness that led to the injury. We are committed to identifying the exact nature of the property owner’s negligence and establishing how this negligence caused our clients’ injuries.

The Basic Types of Slip, Trip and Fall Accidents Involve:

• Slip and fall—Due to a wet, icy or slippery substance on the floor or a store, building, parking lot, or sidewalk.
• Trip and fall—As the result of an uneven sidewalk, an elevator which is not level with the floor it stops on, or an object such as a box located in the aisle of store.
• Step and fall—Most frequently occurring when someone steps into a hole in the ground which they would not expect, such as a pothole or uncovered manhole.
