Personal Injury

Injuries suffered due to another’s negligence can be painful physically, emotionally and financially. You are entitled to compensation.

There is an old saying that “accidents happen.” Accidents do not happen in a vacuum. A vast majority of accidents are caused by someone being negligent. The resulting injuries often bring a great deal of physical pain, mental, and financial distress. Steele Law’s experienced personal injury lawyers in Minneapolis MN are here to help you face these challenges. We are here to get you justice. No amount of financial recovery can ever make a person whole again after a serious injury. But a person injured by another is entitled under Minnesota law to be made financially whole. Insurance company adjusters may appear very polite and very helpful, but they are not on your side. Don’t ever agree to any settlement without first talking with one or more personal injury lawyers in Minneapolis MN.

Are you entitled to money damages?

Before a person is entitled to be awarded money for an injury in Minnesota, they first must establish that a person or company was negligent. To establish negligence a victim must prove each of four elements:

  • Duty of Care: In tort law, a duty of care is a legal obligation which is imposed on an individual requiring adherence to a standard of reasonable care while performing any acts that could foreseeably harm others. It is the first element that must be established to proceed with an action in negligence.
  • Breach of Duty. A breach of the duty of care is when a person fails to fulfill their duty of care to act reasonably under the circumstances. Because there are many different situations in which a person owes a duty of care to another, there are many different situations in which that duty is breached.
  • Proximate Cause: Once you have demonstrated that a person breached a duty of care you must show that their breach of duty caused your injury. You must show the person’s breach of duty actual caused the injuries. In addition, you must demonstrate that the type of injury or accident was foreseeable (one would expect such accident or injury would occur from the negligent act).
  • Harm. In order to be successful in a negligence case, a person must establish that they have been harmed. That is, if there is no legitimate injury, than there can be no claim for negligence. Harm can be physical, financial and/or psychological.
