Minnesota Car Accident Injury

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

mn-ambulance-1 Minnesota Car Accident InjuryMore 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.

We are Minnesota Personal Injury Lawyers and skilled litigators. We help individuals and families injured in an accident — car, truck, bus, motorcycle, bicycle, pedestrian, slip and fall, or third party work accidents. Personal injury law is all we do and our attorneys are dedicated to providing personal injury victims with experienced, ethical legal representation.

We work with Minnesota clients who have suffered a wide variety of injuries, from brain injury and spinal injury to tinnitus, anisocoria, or broken bones — we have seen it all. No case is too large or complex for us to handle. Whether you have been involved in a car accident or need an advocate in a wrongful death case, we provide the expertise, commitment, and aggressive representation that yields results.

Victims of a car accident injury have the legal right to seek compensation for:

  • medical expenses
  • loss of income
  • loss of earning potential
  • pain and suffering
  • property damage (usually settled under no-fault)

If the car accident injury was the result of an accident due to a defect, a product liability claim may also be filed. The defects may be the result of a:

  • flawed design
  • manufacturing error
  • defective part
  • negligent repair job

After you have called the police, exchanged driver information, and notified your insurance company about the accident; it is in your best interests to seek legal counsel. The insurance companies already have a team of investigators and attorneys working to deny your claim. You need someone fighting for your rights.

This information is provided as a service of TSR Injury Law, a personal injury law firm serving Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the state of Minnesota. Call 612-362-0000 to discuss your case.

Minnesota Car Accident: Whiplash or Soft Tissue Injury?

Friday, December 4th, 2009

neck-spine-1 Minnesota Car Accident: Whiplash or Soft Tissue Injury?Whiplash is an acceleration-deceleration neck injury most frequently incurred in a motor vehicle accident. It involves soft tissue injury and sometimes bone structure damage. The soft tissue includes ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves. Soft tissue injuries are seldom revealed through x-rays. An MRI is more effective for diagnosing these injuries and any instability in the neck and spine; but due to the expense, an MRI may not be requested by your doctor or authorized by your insurance company.

Whiplash is a descriptive term for the condition, but it has a negative connotation. Since whiplash is difficult to confirm through imaging, insurance adjusters minimize the long-term consequences of this injury. The insurance company is also very suspicious of malingering in cases of whiplash. So, in most cases, it is in your best interest to refer to your whiplash injury as a soft tissue injury.

The symptoms of a whiplash-type soft tissue injury include headaches, neck pain, shoulder pain, dizziness, fatigue, jaw pain, arm pain, and arm weakness. All of these symptoms can occur in a rear-end collison when the lower bones in the neck are hyperextended while the upper bones in the neck are hyperflexed. This forces the neck into an unnatural s-shape. The damage to the soft tissue can be more severe and take longer to heal if the blood flow to the area is impeded in any way.

If you sustain a soft tissue injury in a car accident, or any motor vehicle accident, you really need a personal injury attorney that not only has experience but is respected by insurance adjusters for their ability to present a compelling case. TSR Injury Law has attorneys who are excellent litigators. Our partners have been named Minnesota Super Lawyers over many years. They have a reputation for being aggressive and persuasive.
