Minneapolis Premises Liability Lawyer
Minneapolis is an exciting city, filled with exceptional art, cuisine, sports venues, and shopping. You could spend decades in the city and still not enjoy every venue it has to offer. But what happens if an accident occurs while you visit one of these venues? The splendor of the city can quickly disappear as you suffer the losses that result. If you are a victim of an accident on someone else’s property, you need Minneapolis premises liability lawyers to help you get the compensation you deserve.
Understanding Premises Liability
If you have ever been to the airport, you have seen countless examples of premises liability, even if you didn’t realize it. For example, every escalator or moving walking walkway that you passed had a large sign warning you of the dangers of using it and how to use it safely. That sign exists to prevent the airport from being liable for injuries you suffer if you use the conveyance device improperly.
Similarly, when you visited the food court, you may have seen someone mopping the floor, with yellow placards surrounding the area where they work. Those placards were placed to warn you that the floor was slippery. The worker placed them both to protect you from harm and to keep the airport free of liability if you slipped and fell on the wet floor.
These examples illustrate the basic concept of premises liability. A property owner is responsible for ensuring the safety of employees and visitors to their property from foreseeable dangers. People working at or visiting the property might still get injured. But if the property owner is doing their duty, those accidents are either the result of chance or the intentional act of another.
The Role of Negligence
For instance, if someone intentionally pushes you down a flight of stairs, assuming the property has appropriate security, the property owner wouldn’t be responsible for the injuries you suffered from that attack. And similarly, if your shoelace is the reason you trip and fall, the property owner wouldn’t likely be responsible for that accident.
You have a premises liability claim if you can prove that a property owner — or the staff that worked for them — ignored a foreseeable danger and didn’t take appropriate measures to protect others from it. If that negligence caused your injury, you may be eligible for recovering damages from the liable party.
Some of the more common premises liability claims include:
- Dog attacks
- Slip and fall accidents
- Workers’ compensation claims
- Assault claims due to lack of security.
If you have been injured while on the property of another party, you should consult with Minneapolis premises liability attorneys at Tyroler Leonard Injury Law as soon as possible. We can help you determine whether you have a valid premises liability claim during a free case evaluation.
How Minneapolis Premises Liability Lawyers Can Help
You Shouldn’t Have to Deal with the Pain and Suffering on Your Own
The U.S. legal system is filled with red tape. Even if you have a legitimate premises liability claim, receiving payment for your injuries can be a complex and difficult process involving several steps. This process is made even more complicated by insurance companies that will create any obstacles they can to reduce the compensation they owe. Perhaps the greatest roadblock to receiving compensation, however, is your injury; the legal system expects you to take legal action within just a few years, even if you are recovering from serious injuries.
At Tyroler Leonard Injury Law, we understand how difficult it is to navigate the legal system and deal with insurance companies when you are trying to recover. Handling your claim on top of managing your recovery puts an unfair amount of pressure on you and often leads to people making costly mistakes.
We can help you shoulder that burden. Our Minneapolis premises liability attorneys will handle all the legal paperwork and communications with insurance companies in your case. This will reduce the stress on you and let you focus your time and energy on healing. However, this doesn’t mean we’ll keep you out of the loop. Our Minneapolis premises liability lawyers go out of their way to ensure that you are as informed as possible throughout the process.
The Steps We Take to Secure Your Compensation
Once we take charge of your case, we focus on getting you the maximum possible payout as quickly as possible. This means we need to:
- Collect enough evidence to prove the other party was negligent
- Prove that negligence resulted in the harm you suffered
- Calculate the damages you suffered from that harm
- Communicate this information to the insurance company or lawyers representing the responsible party.
We complete each of these tasks thoroughly and efficiently. Our Minneapolis premises liability lawyers have years of experience dealing with these types of cases. We know how to gather evidence quickly and how to accurately determine the value of a premises liability claim. And once that information is gathered, we know how to best communicate it to the insurance company that covers the claim.
Our Minneapolis premises liability attorneys have previously negotiated with representatives from almost every insurance company that operates in Minnesota and Wisconsin. We know who to contact and what information they need to ensure your claim is processed as quickly as possible. And when it is time to negotiate, our team fights relentlessly to get you the best settlement deal available.
Typically, your case will end with a fair settlement offer that covers your expenses and losses resulting from your injury. Because most cases end with a settlement, we can usually get your money within a reasonable time frame. However, a small percentage of cases go to trial. While going to trial involves additional time and effort, we never shy away from entering a courtroom. Our attorneys are experienced trial litigators with excellent reputations for success in the courtroom. If the insurance company refuses to negotiate in good faith, we are always willing to pursue every dollar we can from them in a jury verdict.

Frequently Asked Questions
Civil law is complicated. Many clients come to us with questions about their cases and how the relevant laws work. If you have questions about Minnesota or Wisconsin premises liability law, you are welcome to contact us at any time.
Additionally, here are some of the most common questions we receive from clients at our law firm:
Will my case go to trial?
Hopefully, your case will never see the inside of a courtroom. Usually, we can negotiate a settlement with the insurance company long before a trial would begin. This ensures you get the money you need and helps you receive the money more quickly than you would if the case went to trial.
How much is my claim worth?
How much your claim is worth depends on a variety of factors. Primarily, the value of your case is determined by how extensive your injuries are and how much they interfere with your daily life. At a minimum, you may be able to cover all your medical fees and recoup any lost income resulting from your injury with your claim.
Furthermore, you may also be eligible for punitive damages if the negligence of the responsible party was extremely egregious or you suffered significant amounts of pain. Our attorneys can determine the value of your claim early in the process.
I was hurt while on the job. Can I sue my employer?
Property owners are as responsible for protecting employees as they are for protecting visitors and customers. In some situations, they may have additional responsibility. If, for example, your employer doesn’t replace a burned-out bulb in a stairwell that only employees use, they would be liable if you got hurt while using those stairs.
Does Tyroler Leonard Injury Law only handle cases in Minneapolis?
No, our attorneys handle personal injury cases throughout both Minnesota and Wisconsin. We are familiar with the laws of and licensed to practice law in both states. And if you can’t travel to Minneapolis, perhaps due to injuries, our attorneys will find a way to contact you wherever you are located.
Can Tyroler Leonard Injury Law help me fend off the bill collectors?
While we do our best to get you money as quickly as possible, unfortunately, the legal process is never as quick as it needs to be, and bill collectors always seem to want their money yesterday. If you are having difficulty paying your medical bills while waiting for a settlement, our law firm can help.
We will direct you to resources designed to help victims. Our attorneys can also send a letter of intent to your creditors. This lets them know that you are currently pursuing legal action and that you intend to pay all your debts as soon as you receive compensation from the responsible party. Generally, this will end the notices from bill collectors and give you some breathing room.
If you have additional questions, rest assured — we can answer them. Contact our office today and schedule a consultation so that we can review the details and facts of your case and answer any questions you may have.
