Plymouth Premises Liability Lawyers
When you visit someone else’s property, you expect that you can do so safely. Minnesota law states that when you are on the property legally, the owner has a responsibility to maintain your safety. If this doesn’t happen, leading to injuries for you after a trip, slip, assault, or other dangerous situation, you may have the right to file a personal injury lawsuit. Our Plymouth premises liability lawyers can help you navigate the process of seeking a financial award.
The team at Tyroler Leonard Injury Law has nearly two decades of experience helping injured people. We understand the financial and physical challenges that you have after this type of accident. We fight hard to produce facts that show why you should receive the financial award we are requesting. We stand up to the insurance company when it’s treating you unfairly. You can trust us to work tirelessly to try to achieve your best possible outcome.

How Premises Liability Cases Work in Minnesota
You may wonder whether you have a reason to hire our premises liability lawyers in Plymouth after your injury accident. Some of the most common types of premises liability accidents in Minnesota include:
- Snow and ice: When a property owner fails to remove snow and ice promptly during Minnesota’s winter, you could fall after slipping.
- Inadequate lighting: When the property owner fails to repair broken security lights, you could stumble and fall over an unseen hazard at night.
- Poor maintenance: If a property owner fails to repair broken steps, loose carpeting, or unsecured handrails, you could suffer a fall with injuries.
- Security: At a public event, the event organizer should provide security to protect you from possible assaults.
- Trip hazards: If a business owner leaves boxes of products or extension cords in store aisles, you could trip and fall.
To win your personal injury claim for premises liability, we have to show negligence from the property owner. This typically means that the property owner had to know about the hazard and had to have a reasonable amount of time to fix it but didn’t. Without these elements being present, it’s difficult to win this type of claim. That’s why our premises liability injury attorneys in Plymouth, MN, spend so much time investigating the case, looking for facts that show negligence.
FAQ: Common Questions About Premises Liability Cases
Premises liability cases often are challenging to understand for victims. You as a victim may believe you have a clear-cut claim, but the insurance company could come up with a different interpretation of the facts, which is frustrating. At Tyroler Leonard Injury Law, our Plymouth, MN, premises liability attorneys take time to answer any questions you may have about the process, including some of the following common questions we hear regularly.
What does premises liability mean in Minnesota?
According to Minnesota Statute 60E.02, premises liability is the requirement that a property owner must take actions to keep visitors safe. If the property owner fails to take steps to correct unsafe situations, resulting in an injury accident for you when visiting the property, the owner could be liable in your personal injury lawsuit.
How do Plymouth premises liability accident lawyers calculate pain and suffering?
To calculate pain and suffering, our Plymouth premises liability accident lawyers ask you about any emotional and physical trauma you have because of injuries suffered in the accident. We also speak to your doctors to determine the level of impairment or hardships you’ll have in the future, helping us determine the value of your pain and suffering case.
Does the property owner have to invite me onto the property before I can make a premises liability claim?
Any private or public location normally open to the public does not require a specific invitation for you. If you visit a friend or neighbor regularly, you also probably don’t need an invitation to be eligible to make a premises liability claim after an accident there. Trespassers often cannot win a premises liability claim, though.
What does it cost to hire your Plymouth, MN, premises liability attorneys?
Our Plymouth, MN, premises liability attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. This means that you do not pay us a retainer fee at the time you hire us. Instead, our fees for representing you come at the end of the case. We only receive a percentage of the final award if we win your case.
Our Plymouth, MN, premises liability law firm knows that many of our clients are going through a personal injury lawsuit for the first time. That’s why we take the time to answer any questions you have. You need to understand all the options in your case and how they may affect your ability to win a personal injury award, so you can make the best possible choices.

Our Plymouth Premises Liability Lawyers Are Ready to Start Working for You Today
At Tyroler Leonard Injury Law, we understand that our clients usually want to settle their personal injury lawsuits as quickly as possible. However, it’s important to understand that insurance companies often prefer that victims try to settle quickly, too. They use this desire against you by making a low offer in the early days of negotiations, hoping you’ll take it. Insurers rarely make their highest possible offer to you early in the process. If you are representing yourself in the injury claim, you may not know this.
When you hire our Plymouth premises liability lawyers to represent you, we can use our experience with past cases like yours to make an accurate estimate of what your case is worth. We will present facts to the insurance company to show why your case is worth the amount we are requesting. We will do what we can to make the process go faster, but we won’t sacrifice the financial award you could win to speed things along and to play into the strategy of the insurer.
