Minnesota Motorcycle Accident Attorneys & Lawyers

Minnesota roads are more dangerous than ever before for motorcyclists. Unfortunately, the perception is that motorcycle drivers are reckless and dangerous to others. However, it is more often the case that car and truck drivers cause accidents that result in serious injuries, or even death, to a cautious motorcyclist. Thousands of motorcyclists are killed each year across the United States.

INJURIES COMMONLY SUFFERED IN MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS
Motorcycle drivers, and their passengers, are quire vulnerable to injury, given the limited protection they are afforded. A helmet, leather jacket, jeans and boots offer little to prevent serious injuries such as broken bones, spinal cord injuries, neck injuries, paralysis, traumatic brain injuries and herniated discs. Major surgeries are common following a motorcycle accident, along with substantial medical expenses and wage loss.

CAUSES OF MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS
Our Minnesota motorcycle accident attorneys handle a wide range of claims on behalf motorcycle operators and passengers, including injuries or death from:

  • Roadway Defects;
  • Unsafe Vehicle Operation;
  • Defective Design or Products;
  • Failure to Yield;
  • Failure to Use Mirrors Properly;
  • Failure to Brake in a Timely Manner; and
  • Creation of Obstacles Between a Motorcyclist and the Road

UNIQUE ISSUES TO MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT LAWSUITS
Under Minnesota’s statute of limitations, a person who suffers an injury from a motorcycle accident must bring their claim within six years from the date of the incident. It is irrelevant whether you or your passenger were wearing a helmet at the time of the motorcycle accident. Damages may be awarded for lost wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering and replacement services. In some situations, punitive damages may be recovered.

Minnesota Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys & Lawyers

There are more than 1.6 million nursing home residents in the United States and over 17,000 care facilities. As the baby-boomers age over the next few decades, those numbers are expected to triple. Nursing home abuse is becoming far too common. And it is unacceptable.

Nursing home residents deserve to live with respect, dignity, and with as much comfort as possible. Nursing homes often fail to provide appropriate care, fail to notice and treat problems with the residents, or fail to address nutritional needs. When residents suffer serious injuries or death from such conduct, it is only appropriate to hold the care facility accountable. We’re here to help.
