Types of Slip and Fall Accidents We Handle
For victims, recovering compensation from slip and fall accidents can be challenging, especially when insurance companies try to blame you or deny valid claims. By hiring an attorney, you reduce the risk of being taken advantage of. Some of the reasons these slip and fall accidents happen include:
- Slips and falls on uneven pavement in parking lots or on sidewalks
- Wet and slippery floors from spills or lack of maintenance
- Untreated sidewalks with ice, snow, and slush on them
- Tripping over loose flooring or carpeting
- Falling down unsafe steps
- Missing or loose handrails
- Falls on escalators or elevators
- Tripping on debris in aisles
- Worksite accidents due to unsafe conditions
Whether you suffer an injury at a private home, commercial location, government office, or medical center, you may have the right to recover your losses by seeking a personal injury claim against those at fault. Let our attorney investigate your case to find out who is responsible and what they owe you.

When the Property Owner Is Responsible for Your Injuries
The burden of proof in a slip and fall accident is on the victim, meaning you must demonstrate the owner or manager was negligent. Your lawyer will do so by gathering critical information about what happened in your case, including incident reports, witness statements, and video footage. We must demonstrate the following elements:
- Duty of care was established: The owner owed you a responsibility to provide a reasonably safe environment.
- Breach of duty of care: The owner failed to remove hazards from the environment or warn of risks when they knew of them or should have known.
- Causalidad: That duty of care is what directly caused the accident to occur, meaning what they did or did not do is what caused you to slip and fall.
- Losses occurred: You suffered financial losses, including medical bills, due to physical injuries.
By demonstrating these elements, you show the owner is responsible for the losses you sustained. Insurance companies may try to pay your medical bills and send you on your way, but in serious cases they likely owe you much more. We strongly encourage you to gather all evidence possible after your accident and then seek legal insight from our attorneys before you speak to the insurance company.

Act Within the State’s Statute of Limitations
En Sec. 541.05 MN Statutes, victims of premises liability losses, such as slip and fall claims, have up to six years to pursue a claim or lawsuit against the at-fault party. Most of the time, we will seek a settlement with the insurance company in your favor within a much shorter period of time.
However, if the insurance company denies your claim or refuses to settle, your attorney may recommend going to court. You must file your claim within the statute of limitations for the court to hear it.
