What should I do after a slip and fall accident?
Seek medical care, report the incident to the property manager or business, take photos of the scene and your injuries, and contact a lawyer.
Can I still get compensation if I was partially at fault?
Yes. Minnesota follows a comparative fault rule. You can recover reduced compensation as long as you were less than 51% at fault.
Is the property owner always responsible?
Not necessarily. Liability depends on whether they acted reasonably to prevent or fix a hazard. We’ll help determine who’s at fault.
How much is my case worth?
That depends on your medical expenses, lost income, long-term effects, and pain and suffering. We’ll give you a detailed evaluation during your consultation.
