If you sustain an injury on someone else’s property, you may have the right to compensation. However, establishing liability can be complicated, so it is best to work with an experienced personal injury attorney.
A Willmar premises liability lawyer at Maschka Personal Injury can help you pursue a legal claim. Our firm has been providing quality legal services to injured people across Minnesota for more than 25 years. We are committed to helping our neighbors pursue accountability after an accident.
Premises liability is the concept that property owners or those who control access to property should be liable for dangerous conditions that harm others. If a hazard on someone else’s property causes you harm, you may be able to seek financial compensation from the property owner.
Premises liability cases most often arise from slips, trips, and falls. Other examples include backyard pool accidents, exposure to harmful conditions in a rented apartment or office, and injuries due to criminal activity on property open to the public.
Our attorneys will review the circumstances of your Willmar property injury to determine whether you have a viable premises liability case. If so, we can help you file a claim for your medical costs, incidental expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
The owner or occupier of a property must have acted negligently to be liable for your injury. Negligence is a failure to carry out a duty, and the extent of the owner’s duty depends on your reason for being on the property.
Our attorneys can determine the scope of the Willmar property owner’s duty in your premises liability case. If the owner failed to meet their responsibilities, you may be able to pursue a claim for compensation from their insurer.
If you bring a personal injury claim, the property owner’s insurance company will investigate whether you played a role in the accident. If your own conduct contributed to the accident, you may collect less compensation.
Under Minnesota Statute § 604.01, you may receive reduced damages in proportion to your share of the blame. Our attorneys will negotiate aggressively to preserve your right to full compensation in a Willmar premises liability case.
