Personal Injury

If you are involved in a severe accident in Minnesota, it can have long-lasting consequences for you and your family, sometimes including substantial physical harm, costly medical bills, ongoing medical care, loss of income, and more. Because of the devastating nature of some MN accidents, dealing with your insurance company should not be a task you take on your own.
Your first action in filing a personal injury claim in Minnesota should be to contact an experienced MN personal injury attorney for legal help. With the complicated nature of Minnesota personal injury law, having a skilled lawyer on your side when filing a personal injury claim can mean the difference between a fair settlement and inadequate reimbursement. If you have sustained injuries in an accident in Minnesota, consult our knowledgeable personal injury attorneys at AMA LawGroup, PLLC, as soon as possible.

If you or a loved one has been the victim of a dog attack, you need an experienced dog bite attorney. Dog owners are legally responsible when their dog bites or injures someone. Often, homeowner's insurance will pay for your injuries and lost wages.
In addition to incurring medical expenses and lost income, a dog bite may cause permanent physical and emotional scarring. The victim of a dog bite may need plastic surgery for his or her wounds, and if the victim is a child, the plastic surgery may be delayed until the child is older and has stopped growing. The emotional and physical costs of a severe dog bite are high.

Daycare facilities, schools, after-school program providers, and others have a duty to ensure the safety of the children under their care. When a daycare program fails to meet that duty and children suffer serious injuries, the facilities can and should be held accountable.

​

• Transportation injuries, including school bus accidents

The unfortunate truth is that personal injury caused by another person’s negligence is a common occurrence in the United States, resulting in harm ranging from minor injuries to those that cause permanent disability. Life-changing injuries don’t represent the most devastating consequences associated with drunk driving accidents, workplace accidents, and other accidents in Minnesota and across the country. Too often, the negligent acts of another person result in the death of an innocent bystander, driver, or worker, leaving that person’s family members to struggle with the unnecessary loss of a loved one. If you have lost a spouse, child, or parent in a fatal Minnesota accident, contact our wrongful death attorneys at AMA Law Group, PLLC, to discuss your legal options. You may have grounds to file a wrongful death claim against the negligent party to pursue compensation for your loved one’s death.

Our attorneys have years of experience helping injured workers pursue the benefits they are entitled to following a workplace accident. Our knowledgeable workers’ compensation attorneys can help you seek fair and timely reimbursement and protect yourself and your family from further harm.

A bicycle accident can have lifetime consequences for the victim. If you have been injured in a bicycle accident, you probably have questions about potential lost wages and who is going to pay your medical bills, in addition to how you could obtain compensation for your pain and suffering.

Walking is great exercise and can improve overall health, but accidents do occur. Severe injuries or death can result from traffic accidents involving pedestrians since victims are completely exposed when hit by a car or other moving vehicle. Crossing the street, particularly at a non-intersection, increases the risk of an accident, but there are no guarantees a motorist will stop at intersections and other designated crosswalks.  Children between the ages of 5 and 9 are at the most significant risk because their small stature makes them more challenging to see. Their ability to hear a moving vehicle does not develop until age 10.  The elderly are also at high risk of being involved in pedestrian accidents. Pedestrian accidents can result in wrongful death or serious injuries such as broken bones, amputation, traumatic brain injury, neck, back, and spinal cord injuries.

Semi-trucks are unquestionably the most dangerous motor vehicles that occupy Minnesota highways. The aftermath of a Minnesota trucking accident almost inevitably involves excruciating pain, weeks or months of grueling physical therapy, astronomical medical expenses, and permanent changes in victims’ ability to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. Many victims of semi-truck accidents in Minnesota are also never able to work again. Our dedicated legal team will meticulously investigate your accident's circumstances, engage in hard-nosed negotiation with any insurance companies, and passionately and zealously advocate your best interest in court.

Depending on the kind of relationship a property owner has with the person on their property, the visitor is divided into three categories, each with a different degree of duty:

• Invitees – a person invited to enter someone’s property for business or commercial reasons, e.g. customers at a store or clients at a business. The property owner must ensure the invitees enter a safe property or are warned of any foreseeable dangers.

• Licensees – a person invited into someone’s property for non-commercial reasons, e.g. a person attending a party. If any injuries occur to the visitor while on-premises and the property owner knew or should have known about the risks and failed to notify the visitor(s), then the property owner is held responsible.

• Trespassers – a person who enters another person’s property without permission. The property owner must not use excessive force to remove the trespasser.

If you have suffered injury whilst on another person’s property, you may be able to file a premises liability lawsuit if that person is responsible for your injuries. If the accident occurred in someone else’s home, you might be eligible to file a homeowner liability lawsuit. If you are injured from a property owner’s negligence, you may be entitled to claim compensation to pay your medical bills and lost wages. Contact AMA Law Group, PLLC today to speak to one of our experienced premises liability attorneys to learn more about how we can help you.
