Slip-and-fall injuries in Minnesota can be challenging. One aspect of that challenge is dealing with insurance companies trying to shift blame for your accident. It is a good idea to be prepared for the questions the insurance companies are going to ask you after most injuries.
They are going to ask you strange questions that might not make sense, but they are part of their effort in trying to shift blame onto you. They will ask questions pertaining to familiarity with locations, because if it is somewhere you traverse all the time, you have probably seen that same patch of ice for the last couple of days. This would make you aware of the conditions on the day you fell.
Another interesting one will be about the shoes you were wearing. Were you wearing rubber-soled shoes out, or were you wearing dress shoes that had zero traction at all? Insurance companies will try to argue that if you had worn better shoes for the weather that day, you would not have had those same injuries.
They are going to look for any factual issue that they can find to shift from them to you. This is why it is best to have an experienced slip-and-fall lawyer representing you. This way, you will know what to expect and be in a better position to get the settlement you deserve.
