A slip, trip, or fall on someone else’s property can leave you injured and unsure where to turn. At Knutson + Casey, our Minnesota slip and fall lawyers are committed to helping you recover compensation and hold negligent property owners responsible. Whether your accident occurred at a store, office, apartment complex, or public facility in Owatonna, we’ll guide you through every step of the legal process.
Premises liability laws hold property owners accountable when dangerous conditions lead to injuries. Under Minnesota law, owners and managers must keep their premises reasonably safe and warn visitors of hazards. Examples include:
Wet or slippery floors with no warning signs
Uneven surfaces, potholes, or poorly lit stairways
Broken handrails, exposed wiring, or falling debris
Inadequate security in high-risk buildings
If these conditions result in your injury and the property owner knew (or should have known) about the danger, you may have the right to pursue compensation.
Even a seemingly minor fall can lead to serious injuries, such as:
Sprains, strains, and muscle tears
Fractures or broken bones, especially in the hip or wrist
Back and spinal injuries
Head trauma and concussions
Lacerations, skin abrasions, and infections
Long-term pain or mobility issues
We work with medical professionals to document both your immediate injuries and any long-term effects.
Multiple parties may be liable in a slip and fall case, including:
Property owners and landlords
Businesses and store managers
Maintenance personnel or cleaning contractors
Event organizers or venue operators
Liability depends on who controlled the property and whether they met their legal duty to keep it safe.
Our team handles all aspects of your claim, including:
1. Incident documentation – Collecting photos, surveillance footage, reports, and witness accounts
2. Medical record review – Ensuring full documentation of your injury and treatment
3. Claim preparation – Calculating damages and building a strong case
4. Insurance negotiation – Demanding fair compensation for medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering
5. Litigation readiness – Filing claims and preparing for court if necessary
6. Ongoing support – Managing all legal processes so you can focus on healing
We operate on a contingency basis—no upfront fees, and you pay nothing unless we obtain compensation.
If your slip and fall resulted from negligence, you could claim:
Medical expenses (current and future)
Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
Reduced quality of life or permanent disability
Property damage, such as clothing or assistive devices
We tailor claims to your unique situation to ensure every element is considered.

Report your injury to property management or staff
Seek immediate medical care—even if you feel unaffected at first
Photograph the hazard and your injuries as soon as possible
Collect witness names and contact information
