Slip-and-Fall Accidents
When property owners fail to fix faulty walkways and clean up spills, innocent people can get seriously injured. If you or someone close to you has been injured in a slip-and-fall accident, you have the legal right to pursue compensation for the medical bills, lost wages and other losses you have suffered.
At Dougherty, Molenda, Solfest, Hills & Bauer P.A., our lawyers have significant experience handling slip-and-fall accidents for clients throughout Minnesota.
Falling Accidents and Negligence
Slip-and-fall accidents can occur anywhere — supermarkets, hotels, gas stations, apartment buildings. When the property owner should have known about the hazard, or did know about it but did not take measures to fix it, negligence has occurred.
We handle a wide range of slip-and-fall accident cases, including those involving:
Potholes in parking lots
Cracks in sidewalks
Tears in carpets
Spills on supermarket floors
Snow and ice on walkways
Improperly designed staircases
Faulty railings
Our attorneys have the experience to determine the extent of your injuries and how they will impact you in the short and long term. We will conduct a thorough investigation of the facts to build your case and to counter the claims of the opposition.
Dog Bites
Dog bite injuries are considered strict liability cases under Minnesota premises liability law. This means any unprovoked attacks are actionable — there are no free bites.
Dog bite attacks can have harmful consequences for victims, including:
Puncture wounds
Lacerations
Infections
Permanent facial scarring
Nerve damage
Rabies
Sadly, many dog bite victims are children. Dogs may interpret a playful child as a threat and react with aggression. It is not the innocent child’s responsibility to avoid this peril. That burden lies strictly on the shoulders of the dog owner.
