Guy E. Mattson is another outstanding addition to our experienced team of personal injury attorneys. His practice is focused on protecting the rights of those injured in accidents or helping those who have lost loved ones due to the carelessness of others. Prior to joining the firm, Guy had been working in personal injury law since 2004. Guy has successfully represented injured clients nationwide, including in: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Virginia, Nebraska, South Dakota, Illinois, Michigan, Texas and Hawaii.
Guy’s core philosophy that every client is somebody’s mother or father, son or daughter, distinguishes him from many other personal injury lawyers who lose sight of the personal loss suffered by clients. Every personal injury case involves a person, and Guy truly understands that to his clients – his or her case is the only one that matters. Guy’s experience includes auto accident claims, dog bites, wrongful death claims, premise liability claims, and other catastrophic injury claims.
Born and raised in a small Minnesota town, Guy went on to receive his undergraduate degree from Gustavus Adolphus College in 2001. Shorty thereafter, Guy was fortunate to spend time teaching the English language in Prague, embracing the unique and proud culture of Czech Republic. After returning to Minnesota, Guy began working as a law clerk at a well known personal injury law firm. Guy then attended Hamline University School of Law where he received his Juris Doctorate.
Guy and his wife raise their two kids in Saint Paul. When finding time away from the office, Guy enjoys spending time with his family, hiking, listening to new music, and planning trips for his ongoing quest to reach the highest point in every American state (7 down, 43 to go).
More than two million people are the victims of a car accident injury each year in the United States. The majority of car accidents, resulting in car accident injury, are due to negligence on the part of one or both of the drivers. Negligence is defined as failure to exercise a degree of care that is necessary in order to prevent damage or car accident injury.
Approximately 40,000 people are killed in fatal car accidents each year in the United States, with about 40 percent of the fatal crashes being alcohol-related. That means a person dies in a car accident every 12 minutes. The leading cause of death for people between 2 and 34 years old is motor vehicle crashes.
