Do I have a case if I slipped on a sidewalk?
If a property owner is negligent for maintaining an unsafe sidewalk and you trip and fall and you are injured as a result of the fall, you may have a personal injury claim. In Minnesota, a premises owner is under a legal obligation to keep and maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition for use to all who enter or exit the premises.
All property owners (both private homeowners and business owners) must use reasonable care to prevent a person from being injured by conditions on their property. Slip and fall accidents are common claims in Minnesota. There are a variety of factors which could be considered negligent. These factors may include foreign substances being left on the on the floor, unmarked uneven surfaces, holes on a walking surface, defects of a floor or stairway, snow and or ice that was not properly cleared after a weather event.
If you are injured through no fault of your own, you may have a claim.
