An 87-year-old woman fell in front of her senior citizen high-rise due to ice on the front walkway. She fell backward striking her head, causing a major traumatic brain injury. There was large patch of ice on the front walkway, which was not sanded or salted. Susan was unable to return to her independent living situation. She also had signs of dementia and other problems, which the insurance company argued were pre-existing and age-related rather than from the fall. Attorney Rich Ruohonen was able to settle the case for $475,000.
Courtney was delivering for a local package delivery company when he tripped at a townhome where the driveway met the sidewalk. The driveway had sunk and left a three-inch lip. C.D. fell, injuring his foot. The injuries included a broken left fibula and injuries to the tendons and ligaments in the ankle resulting in instability in the ankle. After a couple of surgeries to fix tendons and ligaments, C.D. was left with significant ongoing foot pain and wore a brace daily. The case settled shortly before trial for $300,000 after Partner Rich Ruohonen litigated the case.
James was delivering his monthly rent check to his landlord one evening. As he left the front door, he walked along the sidewalk and fell on ice. The landlord’s wife admitted they had a drainage problem that caused water to flow across the sidewalk and would often refreeze during the cold nights. James had previously broken his arm and had a plate in his arm. When he fell on that same arm, the humerus bone in his upper arm snapped just above the plate that was already in his arm. Surgery was performed to take out the previous plate and screws and put a longer plate and more screws to secure the new arm fracture. Other than occasional discomfort and feelings of tightness in the muscle near the fracture, James had no residuals from the injury. Partner Rich Ruohonen settled the case for $120,000.

Establishing liability is difficult, and sometimes there are situations where multiple parties could share fault for one incident. An attorney who understands the complexities of a slip and fall will know what it takes to build a strong case.
The location of the accident is one of the key factors in determining liability:
Commercial Property – Anytime a slip and fall incident happens on commercial property, there may be several parties who share the responsibility for keeping the premises safe, including:
Privately-owned Residential Property – A property owner, landlord, property manager or tenant could all potentially share some fault for an accident resulting from hazards such as:
Government-owned Property – Slip and falls on a government-owned property are handled differently and also have a significantly shorter filing deadline. If you were injured on property that is owned by a government entity and you believe it may have been caused by negligence, we encourage you to contact one of our St. Paul slip and fall attorneys today. If the deadline passes, you may lose your right to file a claim.
At TSR Injury Law, we know how to properly investigate a slip and fall accident to build a strong claim, and if you have a case, we are ready to aggressively fight for fair compensation on your behalf.
