Common Types of Personal Injury Cases
Our firm can handle various personal injury cases, including but not limited to:
Slip and Falls or Trip and Falls
When you are on someone else’s property, there is an expectation that a property owner is doing everything within their power to keep that property safe. For example, they deal with any spills or other slipping hazards promptly and tuck away any equipment that could present a tripping hazard. If you or a loved one has suffered an injury due to a potentially negligent property owner, then you may be eligible to pursue awards.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), motor vehicle accidents can cost billions in medical bills and more than one million days of hospital stays for Americans each year. Such accidents are a type personal injury case. In these cases, an insurance company can try to settle on behalf of their insured driver, but if that settlement does not cover your losses, it may be time to pursue a case. Driver negligence may include driving drowsy, driving under the influence, or engaging in other risky behaviors. In cases like these, they are liable.
Burn Injuries
In some cases, being hurt or burned in a fire could be due to someone else’s negligence. If a property owner or landlord has not taken the proper safety precautions or updated their building to meet current codes, that could leave them liable for the injuries that you or a loved one has suffered. Burns can require medication, surgery, therapy, and other types of treatment.
Medical Malpractice
A Johns Hopkins Medicine study shows that medical errors are now one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Medical error or malpractice causes more than 250,000 deaths per year, making this the third leading cause of death in the country. Medical malpractice can cause lasting injury as well as wrongful death. If you or a loved one has suffered from a medical error, consider hiring a Minneapolis personal injury lawyer from our firm.

Types of Compensation
Medical costs: if an injury that you or a loved one suffered requires medical treatment, you could receive compensation. This type of compensation can cover the costs of doctor visits, hospital stays, physical therapy, and more. Some injuries can leave lasting effects, and that settlement offer from the insurance company may not cover the lifetime of medical costs that could arise from your injury.
Lost wages: suffering an injury that keeps you from working can cost you money. If you have lost wages due to an injury, your compensation could help cover missed payments and bills.
Reduction in future earning potential: suffering an injury that leaves lasting effects can also hurt your future earning potential. If you are unable to perform your job or not able to perform it as well after an injury, you can end up losing out on future pay and raises. To stop working altogether or changing careers can also affect your future earning potential.
Loss of enjoyment: an injury can leave long-term effects that prevent you from taking part in an activity that you once enjoyed. This inability to participate in a hobby or sport you once loved could entitle you to additional compensation.
Pain and suffering: you or a loved one may receive awards for any other pain and suffering that arose as a result of the injury.
Wrongful death: if an injury caused the death of your loved one, pursuing wrongful death awards could help you cover funeral costs and a sudden loss of income.

How a Minneapolis Personal Injury Lawyer Can Assist You
A Minneapolis personal injury lawyer can handle every aspect of your case. Here is what we can do for you:
File Your Case Promptly
It may be hard to think about pursuing awards right after you or a loved one has suffered an injury, but you do not have unlimited time to file a case. Minnesota Statute § 541.05 requires personal injury lawsuits filed within six years. That may seem like a big window, but time can pass quickly as you recover from your injury and get your life back to normal.
Handle All Communications
We take care of all the communications for you. If we get a settlement offer, we tell you. You do not have to speak to other insurance companies or potentially liable parties yourself.
Gather Evidence and Identify Liable Parties
We gather the evidence needed to show who is liable for the injury you suffered and why you should receive compensation.
We Can Take Your Case to Court, if Necessary
Our law firm helps build your case and shows how the injury you have suffered entitles you to awards. If we cannot reach a settlement, we can go to court for you.
