If you have been injured by a slip and fall on someone else's property because of negligent or dangerous conditions, you may be entitled to collect monetary damages for your injury. The Minnesota personal injury attorneys at Bradshaw & Bryant are aggressive injury lawyers and have recovered substantial settlements for hundreds of individuals who have been wrongfully injured.
With the cold winters in Minnesota, frozen puddles create dangerous, slippery surfaces on walkways. Property owners are legally responsible to maintain a safe environment for visitors. For example, if a property owner's walkway is partially frozen and poses a threat to visitors, they are responsible for de-icing the walkway or posting a caution sign that is visible to people using the path. When they fail to do either of these things and someone is injured as a result, their lack of safety precaution can be considered negligence.
Minnesota does have a statute of limitations for slip and fall claims. This means that anyone injured in a slip and fall accident must file a claim within a certain amount of time, or they will lose their right to collect ANY damages for their injury. That is why it is so important to call a qualified Minnesota personal injury lawyer as soon as possible following your injury - after you have gotten the medical attention that your injury requires, of course.

First, get all the information you can at the scene of the accident. This includes contact information for all witnesses, the property owner's address, contact info, insurance material, and take photographs of the accident scene if possible.
