Proven Results in Slip and Fall Cases

TSR has recovered significant settlements for people injured because property owners failed to fix dangerous conditions, including:

  • $475,000 – 87-year-old woman who fell on ice in front of her senior high-rise
  • $300,000 – Delivery driver who tripped where a driveway met the sidewalk
  • $120,000 – Tenant who slipped on ice walking away from his landlord’s front door

Every case is different, but these results reflect how seriously we take unsafe premises and preventable hazards.

Review My Case

Do I Have a Slip and Fall Case?

Not every fall leads to a claim. To hold a property owner responsible, we generally need to show that:

  1. There was a dangerous condition on the property.
  2. The owner or person in control knew or should have known about it.
  3. They failed to fix it or warn about it in a reasonable amount of time.
  4. That failure directly caused your injuries and damages.

Slip and fall cases are fact-heavy and turn on details – where you fell, what the hazard was, how long it existed, and what the owner did (or didn’t do) about it. TSR investigates those details so you don’t have to.


Types of Property Visitors: Invitees, Licensees, and Trespassers

Minnesota law treats visitors differently depending on why they’re on the property. This affects the duty owed to you.

Invitees

You’re an invitee if you have permission to be on the property for a business or mutual benefit reason – for example:

  • Customers at a store
  • Delivery drivers
  • Maintenance or service providers

Owners must use reasonable care to keep invitees safe. This includes cleaning spills, salting ice, fixing broken steps, and warning about known hazards. If a hazard is obvious and the owner had no reasonable way to know about it in time, liability is less likely.

Licensees

You’re a licensee if you’re invited for personal reasons – like visiting a friend at their home. Owners must warn licensees about hidden dangers they know about, such as:

  • A broken step on the back porch
  • Loose railings
  • Uneven flooring in a dim hallway

If they fail to tell you about a danger they knew about and you’re hurt, they may be held liable.

Trespassers

Trespassers don’t have permission to be on the property. Owners generally don’t owe them a duty of care – but they can’t set traps or willfully cause harm.

If you’re unsure which category you fall into, TSR can sort that out in a free consultation.


What Is My Slip and Fall Case Worth?

There’s no fixed amount for a slip and fall claim. The value depends on how badly you were hurt and how your life has been affected. If we take your case, we work to recover compensation for:

  • Medical expenses – past, current, and future treatment
  • Lost income – missed work while you recover
  • Loss of earning capacity – if you can’t return to the same work
  • Prescription medication
  • Assistive medical equipment (braces, walkers, wheelchairs)
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Emotional distress

Every case is unique. TSR’s slip and fall attorneys will review your situation, gather documentation, and work with medical professionals to understand the full impact of your injuries.


Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents

Serious falls often trace back to simple, preventable hazards, including:

  • Uneven flooring or broken tiles
  • Spilled liquids or food
  • Gaps or heaving in pavement
  • Loose or buckled carpet
  • Damaged or broken steps
  • Cracks or holes in sidewalks
  • Poor lighting in hallways, stairs, or parking lots
  • Ice and snow that hasn’t been treated
  • Wet or freshly waxed floors without warning signs
  • Loose cords or clutter in walkways
  • Falling debris or unstable displays

If a property owner knew, or should have known about these conditions and failed to act, you may have a strong premises liability claim.


Injuries Caused by Slip and Fall Incidents

Slip and fall accidents can cause anything from bruises to life-changing injuries. Common examples include:

  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Serious bruising and scarring
  • Knee and hip injuries
  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI) from head impact
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Sprained or torn ligaments
  • Wrist and ankle injuries from bracing a fall
  • Dislocations and muscle strains
  • Permanent disfigurement

Prompt medical evaluation protects both your health and your legal claim.


How TSR Injury Law Helps in Slip and Fall Cases

If we represent you, our team will:

Gather Evidence

We work to secure:

  • Photos or video of the hazard
  • Incident reports
  • Maintenance logs
  • Weather data (for ice/snow cases)

When needed, we may work with accident reconstruction experts to show exactly how the fall happened.

Obtain and Organize Medical Documentation

We collect:

  • ER and doctor records
  • Imaging results
  • Treatment plans and restrictions
  • Documentation of pre-existing conditions, if relevant

This connects your injuries directly to the fall and helps prevent the insurer from arguing that something else caused them.

Collect Witness Statements

We speak with anyone who saw the fall or the hazardous condition before or after your accident to strengthen your case.

Handle the Insurance Company

Most slip and fall cases are paid by the property owner’s insurance carrier. Adjusters often:

  • Question whether the hazard really existed
  • Claim you “should have seen it”
  • Suggest your injuries aren’t as serious as claimed

We know those tactics and push back – protecting your claim from being devalued or denied.

Negotiate a Fair Settlement

If an offer doesn’t reflect the full value of your injuries, TSR continues to fight. We prepare every case as if it could go to trial, which often leads to better settlement outcomes.
