Fargo Slip-And-Fall Lawyer

Slip-And-Fall Accidents In North Dakota

When you go to the store, a restaurant, a friend’s house, or another property owned by someone else, the owner of that venue is legally responsible for your safety. If you fall down and are harmed by a hazardous condition that should have been cleaned up, sectioned off, or otherwise mitigated, you may be able to sue the property owner for damages such as your medical expenses. At Solberg Stewart Miller, our Fargo slip-and-fall attorneys represent clients all over North Dakota who have been injured due to a property owner’s negligence.

Call 877-237-3166 or write to us online to schedule your free, no-obligation consultation today.

Common Causes Of Slip-And-Fall Accidents

You live in a cold and snowy place. Sometimes a slip and fall cannot be avoided, but other times the danger presented by ice and snow has been magnified by a property owner’s failure to reasonably remove ice or snow, the failure to properly put down sand or salt, or the improper placement of downspouts. When a property owner magnifies the normal danger of ice and snow contributing to the cause of a fall the property owner is negligent and may be responsible for paying its reasonable share of the damages that it has caused.

Some slip-and-falls have nothing to do with ice and snow but are caused by other factors. Let’s look at some other common causes of slip-and-fall accidents:

  • Loose carpets
  • Broken sidewalks
  • Lack of handrails
  • Improper lighting that makes it hard to see
  • Failure to properly clean slippery substances off floors
  • Clutter, exposed cables, or other obstructions in walkways

Common Slip-And-Fall Accident Injuries

Slipping and falling might not sound serious, but such an accident can actually result in severe, debilitating injuries or even death. The severity of your injuries will vary based on numerous factors, so if you have recently experienced a slip-and-fall, it’s best to see a doctor as soon as you are able, just to ensure your injuries aren’t worse than you think.

Slip-and-fall accidents may lead to injuries such as:

  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
  • Hip, wrist, and ankle fractures
  • Spine and nerve damage
  • Cuts and bruises
  • Shoulder dislocation
  • Knee trauma
  • Paralysis
  • Wrongful death

Types Of Damages You Can Recover

When you have been hurt in an accident that another person or company is liable for, you can legally sue for damages. Damages are a type of compensation awarded in personal injury claims.

The types of damages you can be compensated for after a slip-and-fall accident include:

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation
  • Lost wages from having to take time off work
  • Physical and emotional pain and suffering
