Minnesota Pedestrian Accident Attorneys & Lawyers

Pedestrians are said to have the right away. However, if you are injured as a pedestrian, you need to retain the services of an attorney that knows how to protect your rights. The pedestrian accident attorneys with the Brown Law Offices, P.A. have the experience, compassion and integrity necessary to provide you with the legal representation you deserve in the aftermath of a pedestrian accident.

COMMON PEDESTRIAN INJURIES
Pedestrian accidents often involve some of the most severe injuries, including spinal cord injuries, paralysis, broken bones, collapsed lungs, neck and back injuries and traumatic brain injury – not to mention the death of the pedestrian.

PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT LAWYERS ON YOUR SIDE
Our lawyers represent pedestrians injured by motorists who don’t:

  • Pay attention and lookout for pedestrians;
  • Yield right of way;
  • Stop when approaching or turning near a cross walk;
  • Come to a complete stop at a stop sign;
  • Stop before turning right on a red light; or
  • Travel at a reasonable speed in residential areas

COMPENSATION FOR YOUR LOSSES
The law entitles you to recover for lost wages, medical expenses, pain, suffering, disfigurement, loss of enjoyment of life and, potentially, punitive damages if the driver of the automobile was under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the accident. In a wrongful death situation, the surviving family members may file suit for their losses.

INSURANCE COVERAGE IN PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENTS
If you have become the victim of a pedestrian accident, you will need the services of an experienced Minnesota pedestrian accident attorney. The fact is that when you are hit by a motorist, the the driver likely will have an insurance company (and their lawyers) on his or her side. That insurance company will fight to deny you all of the compensation you deserve.

Unfortunately, there are also many cases involving pedestrian accidents when the driver involved has failed to maintain appropriate insurance coverage. In such a case, the Minnesota pedestrian accident attorneys with Brown Law Offices, P.A. understand exactly what must be done to ensure that your interests are fully protected.

Minnesota Product Liability Attorneys & Lawyers

In product liability cases, we hold the designers, manufacturers, and sellers responsible for the injuries and harm suffered by buyers and users of dangerous or defective products. For purposes of a product liability case, a “product” involves anything from a car to a costume to a cell phone.

The defects we look for are flaws in the way a particular product was designed, manufactured, or marketed to the public.

TYPES OF PRODUCT LIABILITY LAWSUITS
Dangerous product claims can be based on one of three theories: (1) negligence; (2) strict liability, or (3) breach of warranty of fitness. Minnesota has enacted some comprehensive products liability statutes that address each of these theories of recovery.

Examples of recent prominent product liability cases include:

  • E. Coli, Listeria, and Salmonella Foodborne Illness Outbreaks;
  • Automobile Recalls;
  • Recall of Dangerous Products;
  • ATV Rollover Cases involving the Yamaha Rhino;
  • Dangerous Pharmaceuticals, such as Zicam or Fentanyl;
  • Dangerous Nutritional Supplements, such as Hydroxycut;
  • Candy Recalls, such as Aqua Dots;
  • Toy Recalls; and
  • Other Products that cause Serious Injury or Death

REMEDIES TO PURSUE IN A PRODUCTS LIABILITY CASE
In a product liability action, you are entitled to recover for your pain, suffering and disfigurement, lost wages, medical bills and, in some cases, punitive damages. Our lawyers accept cases involving dangerous products on contingency basis and will front all expenses associated with the investigation of your case. If we recover nothing, you owe us nothing.

TRIAL ATTORNEYS WHO WILL PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS
Product liability lawsuits are some of the most difficult and expensive cases to pursue. They require Minnesota product liability lawyers with the resources to properly evaluate and demonstrate that a product is defective. Defendants in such cases are usually large corporations with seemingly unlimited resources available to defend against product liability lawsuits. The risks to them are incredible. As a result, they often retain some of the largest, most successful defense firms in the country. For that reason, you, too, need a qualified advocate to fight for you.
