Slip and Fall Lawyer Serving St. Paul, MN – 

A simple fall can lead to serious injuries and long-term consequences. At Knutson+Casey, we represent individuals in St. Paul who were hurt due to unsafe conditions on someone else’s property. Whether you slipped on a wet floor or tripped over uneven pavement, we’ll help you seek justice and financial compensation.

Understanding Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall cases are part of Minnesota’s premises liability law. Property owners, managers, and businesses have a legal obligation to keep their premises safe. When they fail to do so, they can be held liable for resulting injuries.

Common causes of slip and fall injuries include wet or slippery floors, icy walkways, cracked sidewalks, poor lighting, broken stairs, and objects left in walkways.

Proving Liability in a Slip and Fall Case

To win a slip and fall claim, you must prove the property owner or occupier was negligent. This generally involves showing:

  • A dangerous condition existed

  • The property owner knew or should have known about it

  • They failed to take reasonable steps to fix or warn about it

  • You were injured as a direct result

We investigate every detail to build a strong case and establish clear liability.

Common Slip and Fall Injuries

Even what seems like a minor fall can cause serious damage. We’ve helped clients recover from:

  • Broken bones

  • Sprains and ligament tears

  • Spinal cord injuries

  • Hip fractures

  • Head trauma and concussions

  • Soft tissue damage

  • Chronic pain or disability

What Compensation Can You Recover?

If your slip and fall was caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical bills and ongoing treatment

  • Lost wages and diminished earning potential

  • Pain and suffering

  • Emotional distress

  • Disability or long-term impairment

How Long Do I Have to File a Claim?

In Minnesota, the time limit for filing a slip and fall injury claim depends on the nature of the accident:

  • Six years if the injury was caused by general negligence (e.g., uncleaned spill)

  • Two years if the injury was caused by a structural defect (e.g., broken stairs)

Speak with an attorney as soon as possible to preserve your right to recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do after a slip and fall accident?
Get medical attention, report the incident to the property owner or manager, take photos, and contact an attorney.

Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault?
Yes, Minnesota follows a comparative fault rule. As long as you’re less than 50% at fault, you may still recover reduced compensation.

Is the property owner always liable?
Not always. Liability depends on whether the owner acted reasonably in preventing or addressing the hazard.

How much is my case worth?
It depends on your injuries, medical bills, time off work, and other factors. We’ll provide a clear evaluation during your consultation.
