Practice Areas

  • Car/Auto Accidents

    From a fender bender to representation in a multi-car pile-up, our firm litigates all types of auto accidents. Car accident claims can quickly become contentious. We investigate the situation, gather evidence, and advise you of your legal options. Before you talk to an insurance company, call us.

  • Truck Accidents

    Commercial trucking accidents are more complex than typical traffic accident claims. Your case may have multiple defendants, including a powerful trucking company. Our experienced truck accident lawyers understand federal regulations for truck drivers and shipping companies and have the resources to audit the safety records of the driver and trucking company to achieve justice on your behalf.

  • Serious Injuries

    Catastrophic injuries from an accident can change your life. Your case may be more complex simply because of its value – many victims like you require long-term care or complex medical treatment. Our attorneys forecast your future needs to ensure that your settlement covers you now – and tomorrow.

  • Dog Bites

    What happens when Man’s Best Friend isn’t so friendly? Dog bite cases can be emotional and complicated, especially if the victim is a child. Damages should cover the medical care many dog bite injuries require, as well as potential scar revision, and other treatment the victim may need to recover and move forward with life.

  • Premises Liability

    Property owners have a responsibility to ensure that their premises are safe for visitors. Whether you slipped on a slick surface, tripped over uneven or damaged flooring, or tumbled down the stairs, you may have a case for premises liability insurance to cover your medical bills and other losses.

  • Wrongful Death

    Losing a loved one is never easy, but when your family member passes due to an avoidable accident, the grief and anger are often magnified. While a wrongful death suit cannot replace your loved one, the compensation you receive can help alleviate financial burdens of your family and ensure that the negligent party is held to justice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our Minnesota personal injury lawyers represent individuals injured due to another party’s negligence or wrongful actions. We aim to help you obtain compensation for your losses, such as medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional distress, so that you can focus on your recovery. Whether your injury stems from a car accident, a motorcycle crash, or a slip-and-fall incident, our personal injury lawyer will investigate your case, gather evidence, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent you in court if necessary. We understand the legal system and fight to ensure you’re treated fairly.

It’s important to contact our Minnesota personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after your accident. Time is of the essence, so to speak, when it comes to preserving evidence, obtaining witness statements, and filing claims within legal deadlines. If you were injured in a car accident, motorcycle crash, truck collision, or slip and fall incident, reaching out early can prevent you from making costly mistakes—like accepting a lowball settlement offer. Our skilled injury attorneys can assess your situation and guide you through the next steps, often starting with a consultation.

Our personal injury lawyers cover a wide range of cases involving physical or emotional harm caused by someone else’s negligence or intentional conduct. Common types of personal injury cases we handle include:

  • Car accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Truck accidents
  • Slip and fall injuries (premises liability)
  • Bicycle and pedestrian accidents
  • Dog bites and animal attacks
  • Workplace injuries
  • Construction injuries
  • Wrongful death claims

Each type of case comes with its own nuances, so hiring our experienced Minnesota attorneys who specialize in your specific kind of injury can make a big difference.

Even if you were partly responsible for the accident, you might still be able to recover damages. Many states follow comparative negligence rules, meaning your compensation can be reduced based on your percentage of fault. For example, if you were awarded $100,000 but found 20% at fault, you’d receive $80,000. Our personal injury lawyer can evaluate your case, determine fault, and fight for the highest possible compensation, especially in cases like car accidents or slip and falls where fault may be shared.

However, Minnesota follows a modified comparative fault rule. This means you can still recover damages if you were less than 51% at fault, but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of responsibility. For example, if you’re awarded $100,000 but found 30% at fault, you’d receive $70,000. Our skilled Minnesota personal injury lawyer can help protect your interests and fight back if insurance companies try to shift the blame onto you unfairly.

In Minnesota, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is six years from the date of the injury. However, certain cases, like wrongful death or claims against a government entity, may have shorter deadlines. It’s important to speak with our Minnesota personal injury attorney as soon as possible to avoid missing key deadlines. Waiting too long could mean losing your right to compensation altogether.
