Our Personal Injury Lawyers don't get paid unless you win your case. Several factors affect the amount that one should reasonably expect to recover for personal injury losses. The primary contributors are type and extent of your injuries, but the lawyer that you chose may also significantly impact the compensation you receive for your injuries. At Klun Law Firm, we prepare all of our personal injury cases for litigation. This means that we investigate accident scenes, collect evidence and begin the process of determining the financial impact of an injury. As a result, most cases settle during negotiations once insurers realize they are potentially facing additional court costs, bad publicity and larger damage verdicts.
Personal injury cases can include a wide variety of injuries. These injuries include: broken bones, back, hip, knee or head injury, soft tissue injury, burns and scars. Often these injuries happen as the result of several common types accidents:
Types of Accidents
Car & Motor Vehicle Accidents
Every 10 seconds in the United States, someone is involved in a car accident. All to often unnecessary injuries or wrongful death occur because someone was driving too fast or not fully in control of their vehicle. Minnesota requires all drivers to carry 'no fault" insurance. However, no-fault coverage is usually limited. It usually only pays for medical bills and lost income up to the limits of your policy. Pain and suffering and any expenses over the policy limits aren't covered. Our Car Accident Lawyers at Klun Law Firm are dedicated to ensuring that you are fairly compensated for your injuries, even if the accident was partially your fault.
Drunk Driving Accidents
Alcohol related accidents can be avoided. Minnesota’s Dram Shop Act imposes liability on individuals or drinking establishments that sell alcohol to someone less than 21 years of age or selling to someone obviously intoxicated. If a person or persons are injured or killed, the establishment may be held legally responsible.
Boating Accidents
Minnesota is home to more than 15,000 lakes and as a result has more registered watercraft per person than any other state. The popularity of traditional boating along with the increase in person watercraft (jet ski, wave runner, etc) has dramatically increased the water traffic and the risk for serious boating injuries. Generally accidents are the result of an inexperience boater, an intoxicated operator or a malfunction with the boat itself. Often accidents occur when a boat collides with another boat, on a personal watercraft or when an individual is swimming.
Construction Accidents
By nature, most construction sites include many dangerous elements with the potential for causing injury. Therefore, injuries sustained in a construction site accident are often serious and result in high medical bills and significant wage loss. Common injuries include: falls resulting in broken bones, neck and back injuries, equipment accidents resulting in injury, and a vehicle or other operated machinery accident. Often employers will argue that the worker is not entitled to worker compensation benefits because the worker was not an employee at the time of the accident. Frequently, however, the worker is an employee and is entitled to full benefits.
Slip, Trip, and Fall Accidents
Minnesota businesses and home owners have an obligation to provide visitors and patrons with a reasonably safe environment. This responsibility includes providing a safe entry and exit to the premise. The most common type of liability dispute deals with home and business invitees slipping and falling. Accidents often occur because walkways are covered with snow, ice, or other hidden dangers, their is inadequate maintenance of the walkway, insufficient lighting, or the walkway is improperly constructed. It is no surprise that Minnesota has severe winters. Busy homeowners and shopkeepers are not responsible to remove snow as it falls. However they are responsible, once a reasonable time has passed, to shovel or put down sand and salt to avoid exposing pedestrians to danger.
Wrongful Death Attorneys
A loved on can never be replaced. If someone you loved has died due to the negligence of another, the last thing you may want to think about is a lawsuit. At Klun Law Firm, our wrongful death attorneys will help you cope with the financial and legal ramifications of your loss.

Painful as it is, time is often of the essence. It is important to contact a Minnesota wrongful death attorney promptly so that the details of investigation and preservation of evidence can be effectively handled.
