Do I Have a Slip and Fall Case?

Property owners have a legal obligation to ensure the safety of others that are legally on their property. In order to do this, property owners must take certain measures to ensure that their property is free of hazards. They must also foresee any potential risks and take necessary action to fix those risks.

In order to determine if you have a valid case, your lawyer will need to establish that negligence was the cause of your accident. He or she will determine the following:

• The at-fault party owns or occupies the property or land
• The victim was legally allowed on the property when the accident took place
• The accident occurred due to the property owner’s failure to take proper care of the premises

It must be established that the dangerous condition existed on the property and that if the property owner had fixed the issue, the slip and fall accident may have been avoided. Some key points your lawyer may consider, include:

• Was there a reason the area was hazardous? For example, did rain cause the floor at the entrance of the store to become wet?
• Was the hazard there long enough for the property owner to become aware of it?
• Is there a procedure in place for inspecting hazardous conditions on the property?
• Did the property owner take steps to make the hazardous condition safer?
• Was there proper signage in place to warn others of the hazardous condition?

Proving liability is a difficult task and requires thorough knowledge of Minnesota personal injury and premise liability laws that may affect your situation. Having an experienced lawyer on your side to guide you throughout the legal process can be highly beneficial for slip and fall victims.

Why Should I Hire a Lawyer?

Injury cases that are handled by an experienced injury lawyer result in greater financial compensation compared to claims where the plaintiff has no legal representation.

Below, we discuss several reasons why having a lawyer can be beneficial to your claim.

Investigating the Accident

One of the first steps in building a strong case is conducting a thorough investigation. Cases are only as strong as the evidence provided. If we determine that you have a case, our Bloomington slip and fall attorneys will proceed with the following steps:

• Documenting your personal account of how the accident occurred
• Gathering medical documentation that links your injury to the accident
• Obtaining police or accident reports
• Collecting witness statements
• Taking photographs of the scene and your injuries
• Working with accident reconstruction specialists to get a clear picture of the accident

Negotiating a Fair Settlement

Once the investigation has been completed, our attorneys can determine the value of your claim and start the negotiation process. We will handle all communication on your behalf with the other involved parties and insurance companies. Unlike the insurance company, we have your best interests in mind. If the insurance company offers you a lowball settlement, we will negotiate a just and fair settlement. In the event your claim is denied unfairly, we are prepared to help you through the appeals process.

Seeking compensation for your injuries can be an overwhelming process. At TSR Injury Law, we work tirelessly on behalf of our clients’ and are available to 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Common Causes of Slip and Falls Accidents

Slip and falls are categorized into three types of accidents:

• Step and Fall: Falling over an unexpected hole or hazard located in your walking path
• Trip and Fall: Tripping over a foreign object in your path that causes you to fall
• Slip and Fall: Losing your footing and slipping on a wet or slippery surface

Dangerous hazards that commonly lead to a slip and fall accident include:

Property owners are required to have a plan in place to effectively address and maintain these issues. Certain steps a property owner can take to prevent an accident from occurring include quickly cleaning up spills on wet surfaces, placing caution signs, or fencing off the hazardous area. The property owner’s failure to take on these safety protocols could lead to a liability issue.
