Property owners — businesses, landlords, and government entities — have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe for visitors. When they ignore that duty and someone is injured, premises liability law provides a path to compensation. Injury Claim Team connects injured Minnesotans with attorneys who handle the full range of premises claims.
Types of Premises Liability Claims
Premises liability covers far more than slip and falls: inadequate maintenance, falling objects, swimming pool accidents, fires, toxic exposure, and negligent security that allows foreseeable assaults. Each requires proving the owner knew or should have known of a hazard and failed to act reasonably.
The Owner's Duty in Minnesota
Minnesota law requires property owners to exercise reasonable care to protect lawful visitors. The level of duty can depend on why you were on the property. An attorney evaluates the facts, the owner's knowledge of the hazard, and the steps a reasonable owner would have taken.
Recovering Compensation
We pursue medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering, applying Minnesota's six-year statute of limitations and modified comparative fault rule. Strong, early evidence is the foundation of a successful premises claim.
