Property conditions and falls
What a Minnesota property owner owes someone who comes onto the property, and how that duty changes with why they came.
Nothing on this page is advice about your situation, and no article can be. If you want your own facts looked at, a Minnesota personal injury attorney can do that.
Making the claim
Fault, thresholds, damages, and what the adjuster on the other end is actually doing.
- What a Minnesota property owner owes someone who comes onto the land
Minnesota stopped sorting entrants into licensees and invitees in 1972 and replaced the categories with one duty of reasonable care. Two things narrow that duty, and both of them are more qualified than they sound.
- Snow, ice, and a fall: whose duty it is, and the amendment that narrowed the city's immunity
Minnesota gives a municipality an immunity for snow and ice, and most descriptions of it quote a version the legislature replaced in 1986. What survives is narrower than the reputation, and it turns on a single word: affirmatively.
- Nursing homes and vulnerable adults: what the statutes give a resident, and what they do not
Minnesota has a health care bill of rights, an assisted living bill of rights, and a Vulnerable Adults Act. Between them they create exactly four express civil damages remedies, and a claim for neglect by a facility is not one of them.
