INJURED IN HUNTING ACCIDENT – SHOT IN HUNTING ACCIDENT – MN ATTORNEYS
Hunting is a great Minnesota tradition for friends and family. In our own family, we have three generations that hunt together on land owned by the family. It’s a fun, outdoors activity that provides bonding opportunity. At the same time, our lawyers regularly handle hunting accident cases.
Fortunately, no one has ever been injured on our family’s hunting land. However, our top injury lawyers MN know that a serious injury accident from a shotgun or rifle can happen.
The nightmare everyone thinks about in a hunting accident is someone being accidentally shot. Hunters need to know where everyone is, and precautions must be taken to avoid that kind of tragedy. However, despite every hunting group’s best intentions, there are incidents every year in Minnesota where someone is accidentally shot. Our personal injury lawyers will represent the person injured in the hunting accident.
HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE FOR HUNTING ACCIDENT
Our experienced MN attorney will investigate the case, interview witnesses, work with the DNR and police. We will help determine what was the cause of the gun accident and who is responsible. The medical bills from a hunting accident can be substantial.
Our hunting accident lawyers work with the homeowners insurance for the person who accidentally shot someone to make sure medical bills are paid and the injured person is properly compensated.
However, while being accidentally shot is a real concern, people are actually more frequently injured in other ways in a hunting trip. For example, car accidents on two lane roads in rural areas are common. Also, there are many collisions in hunting areas every year between a car and a deer. Our attorneys will represent a passenger where the driver of the car hit a deer in Minnesota. In most cases, the driver was driving too fast or not keeping a proper lookout during the deer’s feeding time.
INJURED AT HUNTING LAND
We also represent people injured because of a gas explosion in a hunting trailer. For example, after someone lit the pilot light in the oven or heater when the line wasn’t secured. This type of injury can result in lifelong pain and scarring. Unfortunately, there are also hunting accidents in MN every year where the hunter is injured because of some condition of the property. For example, a defective deer stand or some hidden condition or trap on the hunting land itself. A case of this type can be difficult, but if the injury is significant enough, our lawyers will investigate a possible claim.
