Lawyers For People Injured In Slipped Fell Accident in Lakeville and Apple Valley Minnesota
People from Apple Valley and Lakeville MN who have been injured call our lawyers when they slipped and fell. In some cases, they were either going into or out of a business or apartment building. In other cases, they fell on ice in the parking lot of a store or mall, or on the sidewalk. The first question is whether the property owner is responsible. Our slip fall lawyers answer this question every day.
Most people have heard that the property owner is automatically responsible if you are injured on their property. They therefore want to know if an attorney can get your medical bills paid. Likewise, whether you can be reimbursed for lost wages / unpaid time off from work because of the slip and fall accident injury.
HOLDING PROPERTY OWNER RESPONSIBLE
Unfortunately, the property owner is not automatically responsible just because you were injured in an accident on their property. The property owner is only responsible if they or their workers did something to create the condition or failed to clean it up within a reasonable time. For example, when ice or a slippery condition has formed 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. Plus, they always have the defense that you should have been more careful and watched where you were going.
