Vic and Tracy were injured in a significant motorcycle accident. Each of them broke several bones that required multiple surgeries. When TSR Injury Law and Partner Chuck Slane were initially hired, there was concern that there would not be sufficient insurance coverage available. We undertook an investigation of the case and determined that the young lady that was driving the vehicle that caused the crash had only a driver’s permit and her driving was being supervised by her grandfather. Because of these facts, we were able to double the insurance limits that were available to this young driver. In addition, we learned that the driver resided in a household separate from her grandfather and thus, another policy was accessed.
The claim was resolved when the insurance carriers agreed to double their policy limits and they eventually paid out over 2.8 million dollars to compensate Vic and Tracy.
Attorneys Nate Maus and Nate Bjerke recently obtained a great result for a client severely injured in a motorcycle crash. Initially, it looked like there was no hope the injured motorcyclist would get justice. The investigating officer and state Patrol accident reconstructionist, along with several witnesses, placed the blame for the crash on our motorcycle driving client. The case was originally handled by another firm who reached out to Nate Maus after the insurance company for the other driver denied liability and offered $0.00. TSR Injury Law took over the case and renewed an investigation into the crash. We suspected something wasn’t right about the State Patrol’s investigation. We located previously unidentified witnesses and uncovered new information to refute the findings in the State Patrol’s investigation. The new evidence showed the crash was not our client’s fault. As a result, Attorneys Maus and Bjerke secured a settlement of $750,000.00 for their well deserving client.
Partner Rich Ruohonen represented a husband and wife who were injured in a motorcycle accident when an uninsured motorist turned in front of them causing their motorcycle to collide with the motor vehicle. Both suffered significant leg fractures. They both received $100,000, the full amount of the uninsured motorist’s limits under their policy of insurance on the motorcycle.
You may be eligible to file a case if it can be established that the at-fault party was negligent in his or her actions and those actions caused you to suffer an injury. In order to do so, the following four elements of negligence must be established:
If you think that your situation meets this criteria, then you may have a case. The best way to know if you do is to reach out to a lawyer from our firm to understand the best course of action to take.

If our legal team can determine that you have a case, we will work hard to pursue compensation for the losses you experienced as a result of the accident. This may include the following damages:

If you are looking to obtain compensation for your damages, it is generally a wise decision to contact a lawyer as soon as possible after the accident. Many personal injury cases, including motorcycle accidents, must generally be filed within just two years from the date of the crash. This deadline is determined by Minnesota’s personal injury statute of limitations.
However, there can be exceptions to this rule. The deadline may depend on the particulars of your situation and in some instances, you may be required to file before or even after the two-year deadline. Our firm is prepared to answer any questions you have about the statute of limitations. We are here to help.
Most motorcycle injuries can be much less severe with the right protection. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA), helmets are proven to be 37 percent effective in preventing fatalities to motorcyclists.
However, in Minnesota, motorcyclists over the age of 18 with a valid motorcycle license are not required to wear a helmet when operating a motorcycle. This means that even if you were not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident, you are still eligible to receive financial compensation for the damages you have suffered.
To learn more about your legal options, we recommend that you reach out to our firm. We are available 24 hours a day to answer any questions you may have about the claims process.
Unlike other states, Minnesota has strict laws in place regarding insurance coverage. All drivers must purchase motorcycle liability insurance, as well as underinsured and uninsured motorist coverage.
Liability insurance helps cover the costs of the other driver’s property and bodily injuries if you are found at fault in the accident. The minimum amount of coverage required is at least:
Underinsured and uninsured motorist coverage helps cover the costs of medical expenses if the other driver is responsible for the accident but does not have the right amount of insurance coverage or has no insurance. The minimum requirements for this coverage is at least:
Our knowledgeable Bloomington motorcycle accident lawyers can review your policy and the other driver’s policy to determine potential options for pursuing compensation. We understand the insurance requirements involved in these cases and will work hard to get your claim approved.

If a negligent driver caused you to crash without actually colliding with his or her vehicle, this is known as a “no contact” motorcycle accident.
For example, say that a motorcyclist and a motorist are traveling in two separate lanes. The driver of the car is slightly ahead in another lane and decides to switch into the lane that is occupied by the motorcyclist without signaling or giving the proper amount of time to make that shift. This causes the motorcyclist to swiftly swerve and lose control of his or her bike, inevitably causing an accident.
Although there was no direct contact with the other vehicle in this situation, the motorist involved may still be found negligent for failing to signal.

No Fees Unless We Win
While some collisions are caused by one or more negligent drivers, other causes of motorcycle accidents may actually be the fault of the state, city, or county. This may be the case when poor road conditions contribute to – or cause – an accident. Examples of road damage that may cause an accident include:
These types of accidents are complex as different government agencies may be responsible for maintaining road conditions. Once it is determined who is responsible for maintaining the road, you will need to show that the agency was negligent in their task to keep the road safe.
That is why is it important to hire the right legal team to walk you through this process. At TSR Injury Law, if we determine that you have a valid case, we will work diligently to hold the liable party responsible for your motorcycle accident.
