Minnesota Slip, Trip and Fall Cases against Stores or Other Businesses
The following slip, trip and fall accident information is provided by Pritzker | Olsen, P.A. & Associates, a Minnesota law firm with offices in Minneapolis. The firm has a national reputation and attorneys at the firm have been interviewed by The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Lawyers USA and other publications. In recognition of their accomplishments, attorneys Fred Pritzker, Elliot Olsen and Eric Hageman have been named “Super Lawyers” by Law & Politics magazine. To contact Pritzker | Olsen, P.A., please call toll-free at 1-888-377-8900 or submit the firm’s free-case-consultation form.
If you have slipped and fallen in a store or other commercial property, you may have a claim against the owner and/or possessor of the property. The following hazards have given rise to slip, trip and fall claims in Minnesota:
- Slippery floors and stairs caused by newly-mopped floors and stairs, incorrectly-applied floor treatments, spills and garbage (1)
- Poor lighting (2)
- Changes in elevation (3)
- Business displays that conceal or draw attention away from stairs or other potential hazards (4)
- Ice and snow
If you slipped, tripped or fell and are not sure what caused it but hazardous conditions existed that could have caused the slip, trip or fall, a Minnesota attorney can investigate and determine if you have a claim under the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur, which means negligence inferred from the facts.
Why You Need a Minnesota Slip and Fall Lawyer to Handle Your Case
If you slip and fall in a store or other commercial property, you will not automatically be compensated a fair amount for your injuries. A representative from the business’s insurance company may contact you offering a small amount in exchange for your agreement not to sue. Although you may think you are capable of negotiating a fair amount, it is usually not the best course of action for the following reasons:
- A Minnesota slip, trip and fall attorney will know what your case is worth and will know how to negotiate with the insurance company representative in such a way as to obtain fair compensation.
- An experienced attorney knows what not to say during negotiations. During negotiations, you may say something that damages your case. If an insurance company representative or anyone else contacts you regarding the accident, do not talk with them.
- Slip, trip and fall cases usually involve a number of questions of both fact and law. The business may argue that it did not have a duty towards you, that the cause of your accident was not a hazard or was not known to them, or that the accident did not cause your injuries.
It costs you nothing to contact an attorney at Pritzker | Olsen, P.A. and talk with him about your case. Call toll-free today at 1-888-377-8900 or submit the firm’s free-case-consultation form.
