“I honestly think I need to credit some of my success in coaching to all of you and your generosity and willingness to give with no expectation of any return. That is something that has shaped my values today, and something I try to impress upon all of the youth I work with. So please know that you haven’t impressed these values just on me, but on every young person I work with . . . I can never thank you enough . . . “
James Hanson, Minneapolis, Minnesota
Every year hundreds of Minnesotans are injured or killed on property or premises owned by another. These may occur at work, on commercial property such as big box stores (Wal-Mart, Target, or Shopko), or on residential property or premises.
A case involving injury on property or premises owned by another is a left arm amputation caused by an injury at a ski area that we handled in the past.
Just because you have been injured on property or premises owned by another does not mean that the owner or the owner’s insurance company will cover your losses. In order to recover losses beyond medical expenses*, you must prove that the owner or occupant of the property caused your injury. Read More: Fault, No-Fault and Comparative Fault.
