SLIP FALL ACCIDENT IN PLYMOUTH OR MAPLE GROVE MN INJURY LAWYERS
Our attorneys frequently get calls from people in Plymouth and Maple Grove MN injured in an accident. Many cases occur after they slipped on ice in a parking lot of a store or mall in Maple Grove or Plymouth. Sometimes, they slipped on the sidewalk as they were going into or out of a business or apartment building. Often, people just want to know if a lawyer can get their medical bills paid. Of course, another issue is getting reimbursed for missed time from work (lost income) because of the slip and fall accident.
You may have heard that the property owner is automatically responsible if you are injured on their property. Unfortunately, this is not exactly accurate. A property owner in Minnesota is not automatically responsible just because the accident injury happened on their property.
IS THE PROPERTY OWNER RESPONSIBLE
The property owner is only responsible if they or their employees did something to create the condition or failed to clean it up within a reasonable time. For example, sometimes people are injured after ice, or a slippery condition formed because of a snow fall the night before. In those cases, the property owner is allowed to wait a reasonable time after it has stopped snowing before clearing the snow and removing the ice. These are issues our best MN slip and fall attorneys have experience dealing with. Therefore, we know what to look for to prove your case.
If you or a family member are injured in a slip and fall accident in Maple Grove or Plymouth MN, get photos of the area where you fell.
