Minneapolis Slip & Fall Lawyer
Have You Suffered a Slip & Fall in Minneapolis?
Surprisingly, slips, trips and falls are the second leading cause of death in the United States. It is estimated that over 16,000 people die each year from such incidents. Many other slips, trips and falls result in serious injuries, such as broken bones, traumatic brain injury, paralysis and neck injuries. In Minnesota, property and business owners have the important responsibility of keeping their premises in reasonably safe condition. Unfortunately, many fail to fulfill this responsibility. A Minneapolis slip and fall lawyer can help hold an irresponsible property owner accountable for your slip and fall injuries. Our slip and fall attorneys handle a wide range of claims, including injuries or death from:
- Slippery Floors
- Failure to Remove Snow or Ice
- Swimming Pool Accidents
- Poor Lighting
- Unmarked, Uneven Walking Surfaces
- Holes or Cracks in Pavement or Concrete
- Loose Steps or Handrails
Statute of Limitations for a Slip & Fall Claim
Under Minnesota's statute of limitations, a person who suffers an injury from a slip or fall must bring their claim within six years from the date of the incident. If the injury results from a construction defect, the action must be brought within two years from the discovery of the injury or ten years after substantial completion of the construction project. Because of the statute of limitations, it is recommended you speak with a lawyer soon after your injury.

Our lawyers are dedicated to protecting the rights of the injured and have obtained many favorable settlements for injury victims.

Liability for Slip & Fall Injuries
In order to build a strong slip and fall case, it must be demonstrated that the property or business owner caused an unsafe condition, was aware of the dangerous condition but failed to correct it or should have been aware of the condition and corrected it as a reasonable person would have done. A personal injury lawyer can help strategize your premises liability case and may aid you in achieving justice by way of compensation for your injuries. Injury victims may be entitled to compensation for lost wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering and punitive damages, and an injury lawyer will be able to help ensure the best possible outcome for your case.
