After a serious fall, you likely have pressing questions. Who is responsible for the accident? What rights do you have? What compensation are you owed? What should you do next?

ATV accidents often happen on remote trails with no traffic cameras and few witnesses. We’ll send our investigators to collect any evidence they can. We will also investigate the ATV itself for mechanical issues that may have contributed to your accident. Our job is to identify who's responsible for your accident and prove your claims.
We will work closely with your doctors to make sure every diagnosis, procedure, and prognosis is properly documented from day one. That way, we can prove how serious your injuries are and show that you took the right steps to treat your condition. If your injuries are expected to affect you long-term, we’ll seek compensation for all future damages as well.
We will handle all communications with your insurance company on your behalf. Insurance adjusters are trained to get people to accept less than they deserve. We will use evidence to support your claims and fight for fair compensation.
5. Trial Preparation
Most personal injury claims settle before trial, but we prepare every Duluth ATV case as though it's headed to court anyway. Insurance companies pay closer attention to claimants who are genuinely ready to go the distance. That preparation is often what convinces an insurer to offer a fair settlement instead of risking a trial.

Falls can occur almost anywhere, from restaurants and retail stores to apartment buildings, sidewalks, and private homes. Many are caused by hazardous conditions that property owners or other responsible parties could have identified and addressed already.
Duluth's long winters can turn sidewalks, stairs, parking lots, and building entrances into slipping hazards. Packed snow, freezing rain, and melting snow that refreezes overnight all make the area more dangerous. Improper drainage can lead to recurring ice buildup, and poorly performed snow removal can leave behind slick surfaces or piles of snow that melt and refreeze. These hazards can be especially difficult to spot when fresh snow covers existing ice.
Spilled liquids, recently mopped floors, leaking refrigeration equipment, and water tracked inside can all create slippery surfaces. These hazards are especially common near building entrances, in grocery store aisles, and in other areas where moisture accumulates.
Cracked pavement, raised sidewalk sections, potholes, and damaged concrete can trip pedestrians going about their business. Uneven surfaces become especially dangerous when poor lighting or gathered snow makes them difficult to see.
Stairs with broken steps and missing handrails often lead to falls. These falls can be particularly dangerous because victims may tumble down multiple steps or strike hard surfaces.
Dim stairwells, dark parking lots, and poorly illuminated walkways can keep pedestrians from seeing obstacles or wet surfaces. In poor lighting, even familiar walking routes can become dangerous.
Loose carpet, electrical cords, merchandise left in aisles, unsecured floor mats, construction materials, and other obstacles are all tripping hazards. When not cleaned up or moved out of the way, these mundane inconveniences can injure anyone passing by.
Minnesota premises liability law requires property owners to take reasonable steps to keep their property safe for lawful visitors. When a property owner fails to meet that duty, they can be held responsible for any injuries their negligence causes. This may include:
In some cases, there may be multiple at-fault parties. For example, a shopping center owner may hire a property management company, which then contracts with a separate business for snow removal. If someone is injured in the shopping center, each of those parties may share the blame.
Our attorneys examine all the evidence, from surveillance footage to maintenance agreements, to determine which parties may bear responsibility for your injuries.
Our Duluth slip and fall lawyers will investigate your accident, identify the responsible parties, and help you pursue the compensation you deserve. Claim your free consultation today.
If another party's negligence caused your accident, you may be entitled to compensation for both your financial losses and the personal consequences of your injuries. That may include:
Our attorneys will evaluate the full impact of your injuries to pursue a recovery that accounts for your current needs and anticipated future losses.
The steps you take after a fall can affect both your recovery timeline and your legal options.
After a fall accident, your health should always be your first priority. Even if you initially feel fine, you should still consider seeing a doctor as soon as you can, especially if you struck your head or lost consciousness. Some injuries may not have obvious symptoms right away, and adrenaline or stress could be masking the pain.
Seeing a doctor will also help document your accident and injuries if you file an injury claim later.
If your doctor gives you treatment recommendations, follow them carefully and attend all scheduled appointments.
Notify the property owner, manager, or another responsible person about your slip and fall accident as soon as possible. Provide an accurate account of what happened, but avoid speculating about the cause of the accident or the severity of your injuries. If you fell at a business, ask to complete an incident report and request a copy for your records.
If you're able, take photographs and videos of the area where you fell. Focus on the hazard itself, the surrounding conditions, and any details that help explain the accident.
For example, if you slipped on ice, photograph the ice buildup, nearby drainage, and surrounding walkways. If you tripped over damaged flooring, document the defect before the property owner repairs it. These photographs can become particularly important when snow melts, spills are cleaned up, or other hazards disappear shortly after an accident.
If anyone saw your fall or noticed the dangerous condition beforehand, ask for their name and contact information. Independent witnesses can help establish what happened and whether the hazard existed before your accident.
Keep copies of any records related to your injury, including:
Start a journal to record how your injuries affect your daily activities, including difficulties with walking, sleeping, household tasks, and recreational activities. These records can help establish the full extent of your losses.
After an accident, you will likely be dealing with plenty of stress and pain. This can make it difficult to know what to do next. Talking to an attorney can help you protect your rights and avoid costly mistakes.
Before signing any documents or giving a recorded statement, speak to a Duluth slip, trip, and fall attorney to make sure you aren’t signing away your rights or saying more than you should. Above all, never sign an insurance settlement without legal advice. An early settlement may fail to account for additional medical treatment, lost income, or permanent limitations that become apparent later. In many cases, insurance claims adjusters will pressure you to accept a rushed lowball offer before you have a chance to find out what your claim is really worth.

Nearly every ATV operated in Minnesota must be registered with the DNR, even one that's only ever ridden on private property. The main exceptions are farm vehicles used strictly for agricultural work and ATVs 25 years or older, which can be registered as collector vehicles instead.
Minnesota requires all riders born after July 1, 1987, to have an approved ATV safety certificate to ride on public land, trails, or frozen waters, or to cross a roadway. Riders can earn the certification starting at age 12.
Anyone under 18 must wear a DOT-approved helmet while riding on public land, public waters, or a public road right-of-way. There's no legal helmet requirement for adult riders, though the DNR recommends wearing one at any age.
Minnesota sets specific limits based on age and ATV class.
Riding an ATV while impaired carries the same legal consequences as driving a car under the influence. Operating an ATV with a BAC of 0.08% or more is a crime. It is also one of the most common factors behind fatal ATV crashes statewide.
Our Duluth slip and fall lawyers are ready to fight for your rights.
