TSR Injury Law Represents Victim of Circus Juventas Bleacher Collapse

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

circus-juventas-1 TSR Injury Law Represents Victim of Circus Juventas Bleacher CollapseOn Sunday, August 16th, the final summer performance of the St. Paul youth circus ended in disaster. The bleachers collapsed. Nearly 450 people fell, many sustaining minor injuries. 7 people were transported to the hospital with significant injuries. TSR Injury Law now represents a victim of the bleacher collapse.

The cause of the bleacher collapse is still not known. The city fined the circus for assembling the wooden bleachers without requesting an inspection prior to being used for a public performance. They had not been inspected since they were purchased in 2006. New bleachers have been installed at Circus Juventas and they have passed inspection by St. Paul officials.

School Bus Accident – Mendota Heights, MN – Bus Accident Lawyer

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

school-bus-accident School Bus Accident - Mendota Heights, MN - Bus Accident LawyerTuesday morning started out cool and rainy on Hwy 110 in Mendota Heights. After 30 students had been picked up, Raymond Baar, the driver of a Monarch Bus Service school bus, was driving eastbound and needed to turn left onto Charlton Street. He failed to see a westbound vehicle approaching, turning in front of the Pontiac Gran Prix, resulting in a collision.

Justin Kalenberg, 24, driver of the Pontiac, was transported to Regions Hospital and is in serious condition. Six children were taken to Regions Hospital, as well, where they were treated and released.

The accident occurred about 9 a.m., according to Minnesota State Patrol records. The bus was transporting students to Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy, a K-8 Inver Grove Heights charter school. The impact resulted in the bus going into the ditch. The roof of the car had to be removed, with the “jaws of life”, to get the driver out. State Patrol reported that the driver was conscious and talking by the time he was extricated.

State law requires a bus driver to pass a written test, road test, and physical exam. Additionally, their criminal history and driving record are pulled and checked each year. Minnesota State Patrol will review the bus driver’s records to determine whether he was qualified to drive. Baar is on leave pending the investigation.

All of us want our children to be safe while they are being transported. School bus accidents are very scary for everyone involved, especially for the children onboard. It is vital to have qualified drivers, driving well-maintained buses, and obeying the traffic laws.

60 year-old Steven Friese, of Minnesota City, and 67 year-old Fay Friese, of Arcadia, Wisconsin were traveling west on Highway 14 when they were hit and killed by a car heading north on County Rd 7 and driven by 29 year-old Jason Benton, of Plainview, Minnesota.

What Is a Wrongful Death Claim?

To file a wrongful death lawsuit, the victim has to have died as a result of negligence on the part of the person to be sued. Wrongful death laws allow for the beneficiaries of the victim to be awarded monetary damages because of the negligence.

A wrongful death claim has to meet four criteria:

  • the death of the victim was determined to be more than 50% the fault of another
  • in addition to being at fault, the other person was negligent
  • there are surviving beneficiaries or dependents
  • monetary damages resulted from the victim’s death

A Minnesota Wrongful Death Attorney can answer questions about the validity of your Minnesota wrongful death case, handle all of the paperwork, and file your claim.

Workplace Explosion Loretto

Monday, June 29th, 2009

work-explosion-1 Workplace Explosion LorettoA Loretto semi-trailer truck repair business had a blast Monday morning. A 20’ high hole was blown out of the side of the facility in an explosion, sending three employees to North Memorial Medical Center, Robbinsdale, with minor injuries.

According to Medina Police Chief Ed Belland, the workplace accident happened when employees, at Gary’s Diesel Service, attempted to remove the top from a 1,000 gallon fuel tank. The explosion happened at about 11:30 a.m. Monday morning. The building then caught on fire. Firefighters from Loretto, Maple Plain, and Hanover responded to the call and were able to put the blaze out quickly.

There are special safety standards in place for workplaces that have explosive atmospheres. The proper precautionary measures must be up-to-date in addressing the prevention and control of workplace explosions. OSHA, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration, has regulations set in place for work environments that contain potentially reactive chemicals.

Workplace Safety

Employees trust that their work place will be a safe work environment. However, accidents do happen, and they can be very dangerous. Material safety data sheets must be posted in the area that contains the explosive products. A list of safety procedures to follow in the event of a chemical mishap must also be posted. The correct fire extinguishers visibly at hand, too. Should the workplace be in violation of these standards, it is at risk of being punished by OSHA.
