We help wrongfully injured people by telling their story to achieve maximum compensation.

Experienced Premises Liability Attorneys in Minnesota & Wisconsin

Premises Liability Injuries – often from slips, trips, and falls on unsafe property – can cause devastating physical, emotional, and financial harm. These accidents happen on commercial properties, rental homes, public spaces, or private residences due to negligent maintenance or hazardous conditions.

Nationally, slip and fall accidents lead to over 1 million emergency room visits annually, accounting for significant injuries and costs. In Minnesota and Wisconsin’s harsh winters, ice, snow, and poor lighting exacerbate risks, making premises liability one of the most common personal injury claims.

At Justice Served Coalition, our Skilled Premises Liability Lawyers represent victims across Minnesota (including Lake Elmo, Woodbury, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Bloomington, St. Louis Park, Maple Grove, Blaine, Roseville, St. Cloud, Hudson, WI and the Twin Cities metro) and throughout Wisconsin.

We hold property owners, managers, businesses, and landlords accountable, fighting for maximum compensation against powerful Insurance Companies.

Common Causes of Premises Liability Injuries

Property owners must maintain safe conditions, but negligence often leads to accidents. Frequent causes include:

• Slippery surfaces from spills, leaks, or uncleared ice/snow
• Uneven flooring, broken stairs, or loose carpets
• Poor lighting in hallways, parking lots, or stairwells
• Cluttered walkways or debris
• Inadequate security leading to assaults
• Defective handrails or elevators
• Potholes in parking lots or sidewalks

Winter weather makes ice and snow removal critical – failure to act promptly can create liability.

Common Injuries from Premises Liability Accidents

These incidents can result in severe, life-changing harm:

• Broken bones and fractures (especially hips in older adults)
• Traumatic brain injuries or concussions
• Spinal cord damage or back injuries
• Sprains, strains, and soft tissue damage
• Cuts, lacerations, and scarring
• Knee or shoulder injuries requiring surgery
• Emotional trauma, including anxiety or PTSD

Older adults and children face higher risks of complications, with falls being a leading cause of hospitalization.

Minnesota & Wisconsin Premises Liability Laws

Both states require property owners to exercise reasonable care in maintaining safe premises and warning of known dangers. Liability depends on the visitor’s status, but owners generally owe a duty to inspect and fix hazards.

To prove negligence, we must show:

• A dangerous condition existed
• The owner knew or should have known about it
• They failed to fix or warn
• This caused your injury

Both Minnesota and Wisconsin follow the rule of modified comparative negligence. This means you can still recover compensation as long as you are less than 51% at fault, though your award will be reduced proportionally to your share of responsibility. Many victims worry that they might be partially at fault and hesitate to pursue a claim -but you do not need to determine negligence on your own.

Our experienced attorneys will thoroughly investigate your case, gather evidence, and accurately assess fault. Even if you believe you may share some responsibility, it is worth contacting us for a free consultation. We will honestly evaluate your situation and fight for the maximum recovery you deserve.

Special rules apply for government properties (shorter notice periods) or recreational land use.

What to Do After a Premises Injury

Quick action protects your health and claim:

1. Seek Medical Attention – Document injuries thoroughly.
2. Report the Incident – Notify the owner/manager and request a written report.
3. Gather Evidence – Photograph the hazard, scene, and injuries; collect witness info.
4. Preserve Details – Note weather conditions, lighting, and any warnings (or lack thereof).
5. Avoid Statements – Don’t sign anything or admit fault without counsel.
6. Consult an Attorney at our office – Early guidance preserves evidence and strengthens your case.
