Our Personal Injury Attorneys Handle Slip-And-Fall Cases

If you should happen to suffer an injury on someone else’s property, you may be able to receive help with paying your medical bills through a broad claim category known as “slip and fall.” In Minnesota and Wisconsin, a large portion of these claims occur during the winter due to heavy accumulation of ice and snow. However, it is important to know that dangerous slip-and-fall accidents happen year-round, indoors or outdoors and at numerous different venues.

No matter where or when your slip-and-fall accident occurs, Walsh & Gaertner can help you get back on your feet. Our lawyers conduct a comprehensive investigation to establish liability against the landowner, business or municipality and seek just compensation for your pain and suffering.

An Array Of Different Actors Can Be Found Liable

If you have been the victim of a slip-and-fall injury, the party who fostered the dangerous conditions that led to your mishap could be held responsible. There are several types of parties who could be found negligent, including:

Private Property Owners

When you slip or fall on private property, typically the concern is based on two questions: did the landlord take good care of the property and were you allowed on the property? It is important to know that landowners are allowed a reasonable amount of time to make sure they have taken good care of their property after a severe weather event.

Businesses

Business owners must adhere to the same duties as private landowners. These standards apply both indoors and outdoors. Examples of liability include:

  • Unsafe merchandise displays
  • Unmarked changes in elevation
  • Inadequate lighting
  • Hazards from negligent design
  • Improper maintenance of the premises
  • Stairs without railing
  • Unsafe door positioning
  • Poorly maintained walking surfaces

Municipalities

When it comes to municipalities it takes more than a slippery or uneven sidewalk to prove your city is at fault. In order to present a successful claim and get you the funds needed to make a full recovery, you have to show actual or constructive knowledge.
