Our clients’ family members were both killed when their motorcycle was struck head-on by a distracted teen driver whose pickup truck crossed the center line while the truck driver was texting.

Our client, a 21 year old man was hanging out with friends on a deck. As he leaned back against the deck railing, the railing gave way and he fell off the deck, 20 feet to the ground. As a result of his fall, our client received serious spinal injuries and is a paraplegic.

Our client, an 11 year-old girl, was hospitalized for over a month after becoming ill with E.coli poisoning from eating a contaminated hamburger. The hamburger was linked to an E.coli outbreak that led Cargill Meat Solutions to recall 845,000 pounds of frozen hamburger patties in 2007. The pre-formed hamburger patties were bought at Sam's Club and grilled at home. Within two days, our client became sick with stomach cramps, nausea and severe diarrhea. After she became sick, the meat was turned over to the Minnesota Department of Health, which found it contaminated with E.coli.

While working in a bathroom, a cleaning woman splashed a powerful cleaning solution on her legs and suffered severe chemical burns. Worse yet, the injury aggravated an underlying problem she had with varicose veins. When the wounds refused to heal, it became obvious that she would never work on her feet again.
