The legal professionals at the practice have the knowledge and experience to take care of legal matters for clients who have experienced injuries due to a slip and fall. A fall can create many types of injuries, some more serious than others. The victim of an accident may need expensive and extensive medical treatment.
The Minnesota slip and fall attorneys at Heller & Thyen P.A. understand the steps which need to be taken to document the extent of the injuries and the likely expenses which will result. Some common injuries that can happen as the result of a fall include fractured legs, ankles and arms. Some severe breaks even require surgery. Head injuries are also common. Different types of injuries can require lengthy medical treatments and sometimes even personal care.
Victims of falls should consult with a personal injury lawyer in order to determine if the events surrounding the accident are due to negligence of the property or business owner. Some typical conditions which can create a slip-and-fall include poorly lit stairways, parking ramps, terraces or balconies, and uneven sidewalks. Wet floors, slippery or icy sidewalks and spills in store aisles are also causes of falls. Ice and snow on walks and parking lots can be considered a hazardous condition as well.
Liability for slip-and fall events is determined when property owners do not ensure that their premises are in a safe condition for those who are welcome on the property. If the property contains an unreasonable risk to visitors which is not foreseen, it is considered to be dangerous and the owner could be held liable. The attorneys at Heller & Thyen P.A. can help to determine whether the prospective client may be entitled to compensation for the injuries which were sustained.
