Do I Have a Slip and Fall Case?

Determining whether an accident victim has a valid case requires a detailed review of the specifics of how your accident occurred. Our firm offers a free consultation so you can explain what happened.

Generally, there are a few things we look for to determine if there is a valid slip and fall claim:

  • The defendant owns the property where the accident happened
  • You had a legal right to be on the property
  • The accident happened because the owner failed to mitigate a known hazard

Additionally, it is necessary to prove that had the owner properly repaired or corrected the dangerous condition, your accident would probably not have happened.

There are a variety of considerations your slip and fall lawyer may have about your claim to determine if it is valid:

  • Why did the danger exist? For example, if there was a torn rug, was it caused while moving furniture around?
  • Should the owner have known about the hazard?
  • Does the owner have a process for regularly inspecting and maintaining the property and repairing potential dangers?
  • Did the owner take any steps to try to correct the problem?
  • Were there any posted warnings about the potential hazard?

How Much Is My Slip and Fall Case Worth?

No accident is the same, so accurately determining the value of a potential claim requires looking at multiple contributing factors, including the severity of your injuries, the long-term prognosis, and more.

However, if you do have a case, these are some of the damages you may be able to claim:

  • Wages lost if you were unable to work while recovering
  • Loss of future earnings if you became disabled as a result of your injuries
  • Emergency care at the time of the accident
  • Ongoing medical care required to help you achieve maximum recovery
  • Future treatments or physical therapy
  • Loss of companionship
  • Pain and suffering
  • Cost to travel to and from any doctor or hospital appointments

Who May Be Liable For A Slip and Fall Accident?

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:

  • The property owner or landlord, even if they only own the property and not the business
  • The business owner – he or she also has a duty for maintaining a safe property, which could include replacing lights or cleaning up spills
  • Any individual employed by the business owner may share liability if he or she was tasked with maintenance, or with reporting any dangerous conditions to the supervisor or business owner

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:

  • Dimly-lit walkways
  • Broken sidewalk on the property
  • Curling or ripped carpeting
  • Stairways with no safety railings
  • Inadequately-protected swimming pools

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.

Is There a Filing Deadline for My Saint Paul Slip and Fall Claim?

The statute of limitations, or filing deadline, if you intend to pursue a personal injury claim in Minnesota, is two years from the date of your accident. There are certain exceptions that may apply where the deadline may be sooner or later. However, missing the deadline may mean you will not be able to recover any compensation for your injuries.

If you are unsure what your deadline may be, contact TSR Injury Law today. We are prepared to help determine your specific deadline along with other important details about your potential claim.

Can A Slip and Fall Attorney Help My Claim?

After a slip and fall, accident victims may feel stressed about their finances and trying to manage everything while recovering. However, you have the option of hiring legal representation to manage the process for you to allow you to focus your energy on healing.

Here are some specific ways that hiring an attorney from our firm may benefit you and your claim:

  • Investigating the location of the accident, including speaking with potential witnesses
  • Ensuring that no important deadlines are missed
  • Utilizing 20-plus years of experience to accurately and fairly calculate the value of your claim
  • Ensuring you are always in the loop about the progress of your lawsuit
  • Handling all communications with the insurance company and other parties, so you do not have to
