CAR ACCIDENT INJURY – WHAT ARE YOUR RIGHTS? Our lawyers get calls from people every day who have been in a car accident. Unfortunately, Minnesota law is a bit confusing when it comes to the insurance issues and compensation. In particular, the concept of being in a “No-Fault” state is confusing.
FELL AT GAS PUMP – INJURY COMPENSATION It is surprising how many gas station injury cases our lawyers have had. Most of these cases happen when someone slipped and fell, usually on ice around the gas pump. However, we have also had cases where people fall because of slippery oil that was spilled, or they trip 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. No one wants […]
CAR ACCIDENT INJURY FROM AIRBAG There is no question that air bags have saved many lives and prevented 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 using a bag designed to […]
INJURED IN ACCIDENT, WILL MEDICARE PAY MEDICAL BILLS? Our personal injury lawyers handle many cases for people on Medicare.

There are also cases where […]
OWNER RESPONSIBLE FOR CONDITION OF BAD PARKING LOT Our lawyers have handled many cases against parking lot owners. These are always difficult cases. However, the injury from falling in a parking lot can be serious. We always went to hold the property owner responsible when someone is injured. Unfortunately, the owner is not automatically responsible just because someone fell on […]
ADVOCATE FOR LOVED ONE IN HOSPITAL OR REHAB FACILITY Medical care is very good at most Minnesota Hospitals and Clinics. However, the doctors and staff are very busy and have to be efficient. We have noted many times that patient outcomes are better when there is a friend or family member present and advocating. For one thing, someone with a […]
CAN YOU SUE A CHILD FOR CAUSING AN INJURY? Can a child be held responsible if they injure someone? What about the child’s parents? If the injury was caused intentionally, there may be juvenile criminal issues. That is not an area of the law our attorneys get involved in. However, we have represented many people injured because of an accident […]
