You may have heard that the property owner is automatically responsible if you are injured on their property. Often, people just want to know if a top lawyer can get their medical bills paid or their sick leave reimbursed. Of course, is would also be helpful to get reimbursed for lost income and other detriments from a slip fall accident.
IS THE PROPERTY OWNER RESPONSIBLE?
Unfortunately, the property owner is not automatically responsible just because you were injured in a slip fall accident on their property. This is true in Woodbury, Eagan, and throughout MN. The property owner is only responsible if they or their staff did something to create the condition or failed to clean it up within a reasonable time. For example, where ice has formed or the sidewalk is slippery because of a snowfall the night before. In that situation, the property owner is allowed to wait a reasonable time after it has stopped snowing before clearing the snow and removing the ice.
