PRACTICE AREAS
PERSONAL INJURY
Slip & Fall
A property owner or renter is not liable simply because a person falls and is injured on the property. The injured person must prove that the property owner was at fault or to blame.
A property owner may be to blame if the owner knew or should have known about a dangerous condition on the property. For example, a property owner has an open hole on the lot without warning notices or barricades. Or if someone spills something in the store and the store employee fails to clean it up in a reasonable time. The key word here is “reasonable”. It is up to the injured person to show that the spill was on the floor long enough for employees to know about it.
It is very important to investigate slip and fall accidents as soon as possible to help prove that the property owner knew or should have known about the hazard. Look to see if there are foot prints, dirt or anything else that would show that the substance was on the floor for some time before the fall.
There are many hazards that might cause a fall. Such as a foreign substance on the floor, poor lighting, a defect in the floor or other conditions. In Minnesota one of the most common causes of slip and falls are ice and snow. Property owners should keep their walks shoveled and relatively free of ice and snow.
This area of the law is not simple. If you are injured in a slip-and-fall accident contact the Law Offices of Bob Nehoray to ensure that your rights are protected.
Testimonials
“Trust, confidence, and reliability were [the] major factors that impressed me most when I hired the Law Offices of Bob Nehoray to represent me. I was seriously injured at work and was treated very badly by my employer. I’ve gone through many hurdles and obstacles looking for the right attorney to satisfy my needs and expectations but nobody [seemed] to care about me. Some turned me down [while others] took advantage of me. [They] did not even care and appeared to be more interested in what they could get out of my case, thus, putting their [own] personal interest over mine.
I was hopeless and almost gave up, because my workers’ compensation claim was tied [in] with my discrimination/harassment civil lawsuit against my employer, [which] made the whole situation very complicated. However, it was not too late when I met Mr. Nehoray and his office manager, Alma Gavia, who gave me hope and courage. They patiently listened to me and spent time and effort with me. Mr. Nehoray took-on my case despite complications. He handled it with proper care and professionalism.

“Law Offices of Bob Nehoray… I will NEVER be able to thank you enough for what you’ve done for me; and it isn’t the amazing settlement that you got for me that I am most grateful for; it is how professional you and your entire office staff were. Everyone is SO nice [and] caring. They made me feel like a person and not just a ‘client.’ The fact that you were able to handle both my Personal Injury and my Workers’ Compensation cases at the same time was very important as well.
