Minneapolis Premises Liability Lawyers

Common Types of Premises Liability Claims 

At Fay & Associates, our attorneys have decades of experience representing clients in a wide variety of premises liability claims. Common types of premises liability lawsuits we handle include: 

• Slip-and-fall accidents: If you were harmed in a slip, trip, or fall due to negligence on third-party property, our seasoned advocates can work tirelessly to recover fair compensation on your behalf. From slipping on slick floors at your local grocery store to tripping over loose wires in a store or business, we can fight to bring all negligent parties to justice. 
• Dog bites: Under Minnesota’s strict liability rule, dog owners are liable for injuries resulting from their dog’s aggression regardless of whether their animal has attacked before. If you sustained a dog bite injury in the Twin Cities, our determined attorneys can fight to recover damages for medical care, lost wages, and more.
• Negligent security claims: If you were injured due to insufficient security measures on someone else’s property or business, we can help you file a negligent security claim to seek compensation.
• Swimming pool accidents: When it comes to negligent property ownership, swimming pool accidents can result in serious injuries. If you or your loved one sustained a wrongful injury in a swimming pool accident, whether it be a private pool at the neighbor's house or a community pool, we can help you pursue justice.

Proving Negligence in a Premises Liability Claim

It's crucial to understand that the plaintiff bears the burden of proof in personal injury law, meaning you’re responsible for proving that the defendant’s negligence directly resulted in your injuries. Seeking sound counsel is imperative to build a robust and well-fortified case. From filing your claim to gathering evidence to proving negligence, our team can fight to maximize available damages and pursue fair compensation for the injustice you’ve suffered.

To recover damages in a premises liability lawsuit, you must demonstrate these four key elements:

• Duty of care: You need to establish that the defendant had a duty of care to keep the premises safe.
• Breach of duty: You must prove that the defendant breached this duty by failing to maintain safe conditions.
• Causation: You need to demonstrate that this breach directly caused your injury.
• Damages: Finally, you must show that you have suffered actual damages (like medical bills or lost wages) as a result of the injury.

Our Minneapolis attorneys can help you establish negligence as the proximate cause of your injuries and assist with gathering and presenting evidence effectively to support your claim, as well as negotiating with other involved parties to ensure a fair settlement.
