A teenage girl was a passenger in a vehicle driven by her mother. The vehicle was traveling northbound on Highway 13 when it was rear-ended by another vehicle. The impact forced the mother and daughter into the southbound lane where it was struck again by a well-drilling truck transporting metal well drilling pipes. Seven or eight pipes extended above and beyond the forward plate of the trough and were secured with only a piece of electrical wire. One of the pipes struck the teenage girl through the windshield and killed her.

Several exhibitionists from Minnesota had traveled to Texas to show their rabbits.  They were traveling home together when the accident occurred.  They had entered a construction zone near Hewitt, Texas and traffic began merging from two lanes into one. A large truck merging caused all the traffic behind it to come to a stop. Our client stopped her vehicle, as did the car behind her but they were rear ended by a third driver who was following too closely. As a result of the collision, our client sustained permanent neck and shoulder injuries. 

Our client was a 9 year old girl who was riding in a vehicle driven by her sister.  She lost control of the vehicle on a gravel road and the vehicle rolled over.  Our client was thrown from the vehicle.  She was airlifted from the scene to the hospital and was hospitalized for 8 days.  She received multiple fractures to her face, jaw, mouth, ribs and arm.  She underwent 3 separate surgical procedures and her doctors predict she will require future surgery.  She also has extensive scarring that will require plastic surgery.  Her medical bills exceeded $146,000.

Our client, an older woman with diabetes, was in need of a total knee replacement. Her orthopedic surgeon elected to proceed with the replacement despite the fact that she had just recovered from an open abdominal wound following a hernia repair. During the following 18 months, our client was repeatedly at her surgeon's office for the treatment of drainage from the surgical wound, pain and weakness. Diagnostic imaging revealed loosening of the components of the artificial knee. Finally, the presence of an infection in and at the artificial knee was recognized but it was too late for conservative treatment. Our client's leg had to be amputated above the knee.

Two children were severely injured when drivers acted with neglect and caused a crash at an uncontrolled intersection. Both children were in car seats when the impact occurred yet they both received fractured skulls and significant head injuries.

Our client and a friend were riding on the bow of a boat on Lake Minnetonka. Their legs were underneath the railing that wraps around the bow of the boat and their legs were hanging down the side of the boat. The boat hit a wave and the railing on our client's side broke and both she and her friend went off the boat. Her friend was able to grab onto the railing as he fell and he didn't go completely into the water. Our client went into the water and under the boat and she was severely injured by the prop. Others on the boat were able to pull her from the water and get her to shore. Ambulance paramedics assessed her injuries and immediately called for a helicopter to take her to North Memorial Hospital. There doctors rushed her into surgery; she had a large open wound exposing her kidney, spleen and bowel. She lost or damaged 10 ribs, muscles and soft tissue in her abdomen, chest, back and flank. She experienced numerous surgeries and her doctor stated that this was the most horrific, severe boating injury she has ever treated and that our client is lucky to be alive.

Our client, a 53-year-old independent truck driver, was delivering steel tubing to a large warehouse. While waiting at the loading dock, he hopped out of his truck and offered to help another trucker with his load. Several piles of steel tubing had already been unloaded and were stacked nearby. Suddenly there was a loud rumble as one of the stacks of steel tubing gave way and came tumbling toward our client.

What would otherwise seem like a minor rear-end accident was a life-changing event for one woman from Fridley who will never be the same.  What’s more is that it happened to her twice in less than one year.  

Our client was a hard working construction laborer that was the sole supporter of his young son. While working at a job site, he was struck in the head by a steel beam that was negligently installed by another subcontractor's employee. Our client sustained significant psychological injuries brought about as a result of the head trauma. The client also sustained a neck injury that was repaired surgically.

Our client underwent a hydrothermal ablation by the Boston Scientific Method to address abnormal uterine bleeding. During the procedure the uterus most likely sustained a thermal injury that caused perforation of the uterus and colon.
