DOGS SHOULD BE KEPT ON LEASH OUTSIDE We recently came across an internet post discussing the need to keep your dog leashed when you take it outside. Other than an off-leash dog park, this is always good advice. The purpose of the article was to discuss safety for the dog. Without a leash, a dog may run into the road […]
FASTER RECOVERY AFTER ACCIDENT INJURY WHEN NOT LONELY When someone is injured in an accident, the recovery is always more difficult when they are recovering alone. A recent article in Medical News today explains this in more detail. Our personal injury lawyers have worked with hundreds of people needing to recover after an accident. Having a support system is just […]
STOP AT LINE BEFORE STOP SIGN The requirement in Minnesota is to stop AT a stop sign or the marked line before it. Minnesota State Statute 169.30 spells out this law. The only exception is when you are being directed by the police. In other words, don’t roll forward to the actual intersection. At a stop sign with a marked […]
AUTO HIJACKINGS AN INCREASING PROBLEM Our lawyers have recently been getting calls about car jacking incidents in Minnesota. We have 25 years’ experience taking calls from thousands of people in car accidents. However, only this year have we started getting calls about carjack incidents. This problem is not limited to Minneapolis. We have also been hearing from people car-jacked in […]
CAR ACCIDENT INJURY – WHAT ARE YOUR RIGHTS? Our lawyers get calls from people every day who have been injured in an auto accident. Unfortunately, Minnesota law is a bit confusing when it comes to the insurance issues and compensation. The concept of being in a “No-Fault” state is particularly confusing.

However, we have also had cases where people fall because of slippery oil that was spilled, or they tripped on a deteriorated parking […]
DO I HAVE TO SUE DOG OWNER AFTER DOG BITE ATTACK? Many of the cases our dog bite lawyers handle involve someone being bit by a dog they know. And often, the dog is owned by a neighbor or friend. We have also had many cases where it is a family member’s dog, e.g. uncle or cousin. This can make […]
CAR ACCIDENT INJURY FROM AIRBAG There is no question that air bags save lives and prevent many injuries. Our car accident lawyers have represented hundreds of people in bad crashes who have benefited from an airbag deployment. However, the airbag itself can often cause an injury. An airbag is a vehicle occupant-restraint system. It uses a bag designed to inflate […]
INJURED IN ACCIDENT, WILL MEDICARE PAY MEDICAL BILLS? Our personal injury lawyers handle many cases for people on Medicare. There is often a misconception that Medicare won’t pay medical expenses for an accident where there could be an injury claim. That is not true. Medicare will pay medical bills even if there is a potential claim against another party. However, […]
INJURED IN ACCIDENT PREEXISTING CONDITION WORSE Our personal injury lawyers have had many cases where a client reinjures something in an accident. The injury may be to a body part that was previously a problem. For example, someone with a prior successful knee surgery may reinjure that knee in a slip fall accident. There are also cases where someone with […]
