Her mother, Michelle, turned to Bennerotte & Associates, P.A. to pursue accountability and justice in the wake of that unimaginable loss.

5 Reasons Minnesotans
Choose Bennerotte & Associates, P.A.
1. Proven Results for Injured Minnesotans
Insurance companies know which lawyers will settle cheap and which ones will take a case to trial. We make sure they know which kind we are. Our attorneys are experienced negotiators, and we’re just as comfortable in front of a Minnesota jury as we are at the mediation table. Before we put a number on any case, we look at the whole picture: your medical bills, your lost income, and what your life is going to cost from here. We bring in medical and vocational experts and forensic accountants when a case calls for it, so nothing gets left out. That approach has led to a $9.3 million settlement for a family after a commercial truck crash, a $3.1 million premises liability settlement, and more than $1 million for the victim of a drunk driver.
2. A Minnesota Firm, Through and Through
We aren’t a national advertising firm that sends your case to someone three states away. Our office is in Minnesota, and most of us grew up there or somewhere nearby in the Midwest. Many of our attorneys went to law school at William Mitchell in St. Paul. We’ve spent our careers working in Minnesota courtrooms and dealing with the same insurers and defense lawyers who show up in cases like yours. Tom Bennerotte is active with the local chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), and several of our attorneys belong to the Minnesota Association for Justice and the Minnesota Justice Foundation. We’ve been representing injured Minnesotans since 2007, and we plan on being here for a long time.
3. Experience With Every Kind of Injury Case
Some firms stick to small, quick cases. We handle serious ones too: car and truck crashes on I-94 and I-35, slip and falls on icy Minnesota sidewalks, dog bites, wrongful death, and complicated product liability and medical claims. We’ve gone up against corporations, hospitals, and drug companies. We even took on a county jail across the border in North Dakota and recovered nearly half a million dollars for a woman who was denied proper medical care in custody. Our attorneys also take on pro bono work with The Advocates for Human Rights and the Roscoe Pound Institute. Whether you live in Minneapolis, St. Cloud, Rochester, Duluth, or a small town up north, we want to hear what happened to you.
4. Recognized by Our Peers
We’re members of the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, but the recognition that means the most comes from other lawyers. Several of our attorneys, including Wade Rabenhorst, hold an AV Preeminent® rating from Martindale-Hubbell. That rating is based on peer reviews of legal skill and ethics. Our attorneys have also been named to Super Lawyers, and the firm was recognized as one of America’s Top 100 High Stakes Litigators. Tom has been listed among The National Trial Lawyers Top 100 for ten years running.
5. We Know What You’re Going Through
For Tom Bennerotte, this work is personal. He lost his sister in a car crash, so he knows the grief and the frustration families feel afterward. That experience shapes how our whole team treats clients. We take time to explain your rights, and we answer your calls. We make sure you understand what’s happening with your case. Our clients often tell us how kind our team is. The insurance adjusters on the other side tend to describe us differently, and we’re fine with that.

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!
