Our Attorneys Represent People Injured In Slip Fall Accident in Chaska MN, Chanhassen, and Norwood Young America Minnesota.
Our top injury lawyers frequently get calls from people in Chaska Minnesota, Chanhassen and Norwood Young America. Many cases involve someone injured when they slipped and fell on ice. For example, in the parking lot of a store or mall. Likewise, if they fell on the sidewalk as they were going into or out of a business or apartment building. There has been a lot of retail and office development in Chanhassen MN and Chaska. People are out shopping and working year round, including winter. Naturally, there is a lot of opportunity for slip fall accident injury cases.
Many people have heard that the owner is automatically responsible if you are injured on their property. You at least want to get your medical bills paid because of the slip and fall accident. Not to mention, missed time from work and other losses from the injury.
IS PROPERTY OWNER RESPONSIBLE?
Unfortunately, in Minnesota, a property owner is not automatically responsible if you are injured on their property. However, the owner of the property is responsible if they or their employees did something to create the condition. Likewise, if they failed to clean it up within a reasonable time. For example, where ice has formed because of a snow-fall the night before, or if the snow is still falling during the day. The property owner is allowed to wait a reasonable time after it has stopped snowing before clearing the snow and removing the ice.
Therefore, it is very difficult to sue the property owner unless the ice and snow have been on the ground for an extended period of time. These are challenges our top MN personal injury lawyers have experience dealing with. We know what to look for to prove your case.
MEDICAL BILLS AND OTHER COMPENSATION FOR SLIP FALL ACCIDENT
Many businesses and homeowners have “medical payment” coverage as part of their insurance policies. Medical payment coverage is not required, but is very common in property insurance policies. That insurance will pay a limited amount of medical bills without proving the property owner was at fault. Our best Minnesota slip fall accident lawyer can help you with medical payment coverage.
