5 Reasons to Work
With Bennerotte & Associates, P.A.

1. Demonstrated Results and Record-Setting Verdicts

The lawyers at Bennerotte & Associates are professionally trained negotiators who drive a hard bargain in mediation and out-of-court negotiations. We know when to say “yes” to a six- or seven-figure settlement for our clients and when it’s time to take the matter before a jury. Our impressive personal injury and workers’ compensation case results start with an incisive evaluation of each client’s total damages, what they need to recover, and what they need in the future. Our Bloomington, MN personal injury lawyer collaborates with vocational and medical experts and forensic accountants to properly value your claim. Some of our most recent victories include a $9.3 million settlement for a commercial truck crash, a $3.1 million settlement in a premises liability case, and multiple $1+ million verdicts for DWI accident victims.

2. Local Boutique Personal Injury Firm

Our attorneys are Midwesterners born and raised, many of us from right here in Minnesota. We’re your friends and neighbors. Many of our lawyers earned their Juris Doctor from William Mitchell College of Law in St. Paul and continue to give back to the local legal community. Firm founder and lead attorney Thomas “Tom” Bennerotte is an active member of the local chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). Multiple attorneys are proud members of the Minnesota Association for Justice and the Minnesota Justice Foundation. Our work supporting the legal community allows us to foster and hone relationships with our peers. We’re not some large national corporate law firm to whom the Twin Cities courtrooms are a foreign ground. We’re your hometown personal injury lawyers.

3. Comprehensive Representation in All Types of Personal Injury Claims

Some law firms only have the resources to handle small-value cases or only a few types of personal injury claims, but not Bennerotte & Associates. Our firm has a robust roster of personal injury services, from truck accidents to complicated product liability claims. We take on tough defendants, including corporations, hospitals, medical centers, and pharmaceutical companies. We’ve even taken on the North Dakota criminal justice system, successfully securing nearly half a million dollars in compensation after a woman was denied adequate medical care at a jail in North Dakota. And, our Bloomington personal injury lawyers donate our time and expertise in pro bono cases, working with The Advocates for Human Rights and the Roscoe Pound Institute. If you’ve been hurt, our Twin Cities personal injury attorneys want to hear your story.

4. Award-Winning, Nationally Recognized Attorneys

We’re proud to be members of the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum for our litigation success, but we’re even prouder to be recognized by our fellow attorneys. Multiple members of our legal team, including Wade Rabenhorst, are rated AV Preeminent® by Martindale-Hubbell. This peer-nominated honor reflects our dedication to client care and the highest legal abilities and ethical standards. Some of the other national honors our lawyers hold include being ranked by Super Lawyers, a firm accolade as America’s Top 100 High Stakes Litigators, and Tom’s 10-year-long position as one of The National Trial Lawyers Top 100 attorneys.

5. Compassionate Client Advocacy and Support

Our firm is founded on the principle of justice for the injured. Firm founder and lead litigator Tom Bennerotte lost his sister in a tragic car collision. He knows what you’re feeling, the sense of loss and desire for justice. Under Tom’s leadership, our legal team provides compassionate representation for families like yours. We know your rights. We know what you’re entitled to, and we have the resources and legal talent to help you get it. Time and again, our past clients emphasize how kind our team is, until it’s time to negotiate with the insurance company. That’s where we’re at our most tenacious. We’re committed to getting you what you deserve.

This is the second time I have worked with Tom Bennerotte and his team and they were outstanding to work with both times! They are there when you need them for anything and I received a settlement both times. I didn't think twice about calling him again when I was rear ended this past year. He is a great negotiator!! Thank you Tom! This is an update to my review from 2 years ago that is the paragraph above. I had to use Tom again for a third time because of another accident. I called him right after I had the accident around 8:00 at night and he answered immediately and calmed me down. Tom and his team are very caring and hands-on. Many attorneys are difficult to get ahold of throughout the process but Tom and his team always call me back the same day and usually within a few hours. Honestly, I have friends that have other attorneys and when I told them about Tom they wish they would have gone to him.

From the very first phone call, I could tell I was in good hands. I felt nothing but empathy, understanding, and support for what I was dealing with after my accident and the resulting injuries. All the way up to the final meeting, communication was timely, open and honest and I was treated with respect and kindness. I am very happy with the outcome. I highly recommend Tom Bennerotte, and his Senior Paralegal Shari Anderson was nothing short of wonderful to work with.

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Attorney Wade and his incredible assistant, Danielle. From the moment I reached out to them following my injury, they were nothing short of exceptional. Wade was not only professional and knowledgeable but also genuinely empathetic—he made me feel heard, understood, and supported every step of the way. Danielle was equally outstanding. She was always quick to respond, incredibly organized, and showed true care and dedication to my case. Together, they made a difficult time much easier to bear. What stood out the most was their honesty and reliability. They never over-promised, and yet they delivered everything exactly when they said they would. I always felt like I was in the best hands, and I truly believe they had my best interests at heart throughout the entire process. Thanks to Wade and Danielle, I was able to focus on healing while they handled everything else with integrity and efficiency. I am beyond grateful and would recommend them to anyone in need of legal support—they are a rare and exceptional team.

Thanks to the professionalism and dedication of Danielle Puttkammer and the staff at Bennerotte & Associates, I was able to receive fair compensation for the injury I suffered. Originally, my case had been reviewed and dropped by another law firm, but Danielle took it on with great expertise and pursued it actively, ultimately securing a proper settlement. I wholeheartedly recommend this firm to others. I hope many more people will receive the compensation they deserve through this firm.

Our Latest Updates and Legal Tips

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What should I do after suffering a personal injury?

    First and foremost, seek medical attention, even if you don’t have obvious injuries. The documentation that results from that initial visit becomes an important piece of your case. It establishes a direct relationship between your injuries and the incident. Our firm has more than 50 years of combined personal injury experience and is ready to use that experience to fight for your compensation. 

  • Who can be held liable if I was injured while on someone else’s property?

    Minnesota property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions on their property. Property owners such as landlords, business owners, homeowners, and even government entities are open to liability for injuries on their property. However, your status as a guest on the property matters significantly in these cases. Our firm has experience in these cases and has secured a settlement of 3.1 million dollars as a result of a premises liability case previously. Let us use our expertise to fight for you. 

  • What compensation is available for dog bite injuries?

    Minnesota law has extremely strict liability for dog bites. Dog owners can be held liable for injuries their dog causes, and the victim does not need to demonstrate the owner’s negligence. We have multiple attorneys who have dog bite case experience, who can get compensation for damages such as medical expenses, future treatment costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional distress resulting from dog bites. Contact us today. 

  • What happens if the driver who hit me was uninsured?

    Minnesota is a no-fault state, meaning that in the event of an accident, your own personal injury protection applies, no matter who is at fault. However, there is a limit to no-fault accidents. Additionally, Minnesota law requires uninsured motorist coverage for all insurance policies, which can be applied to damages such as lost wages and medical expenses. We know how to deal with insurance adjusters in these cases, as our attorneys have inside knowledge of how insurers handle these claims. 

  • Are truck accident cases different from car accident cases?

    Truck accidents are handled significantly differently from car accidents. Factors such as liability and applicable laws and regulations are much broader and more complex in these cases. Additionally, commercial truck companies have strong legal teams and insurers to protect them from financial liability. Fortunately, our firm has experience with these cases, as we have secured a 9.3 million dollar settlement from a commercial truck crash previously. 

  • What is classified as medical malpractice in Minnesota?

    Under Minnesota law, medical malpractice is defined as any situation in which a healthcare provider’s negligence leads to a failure to uphold a standard of care, resulting in direct patient harm. Our firm has secured more than $1M in settlements from medical malpractice cases, so if you’ve been a victim of surgical errors, misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, medication errors, birth injuries, or anesthesia mistakes, we are ready to fight for you!
