Rich Ruohonen represented an individual in his 40s involved in an accident whose injuries resulted in amputation of his leg for a settlement of $12 million.
Julia was a passenger on a golf cart. She was ejected from the golf cart when the driver took a sharp turn. The driver of cart was intoxicated and he admitted Julia was thrown out to the right when he turned to the left. He later changed his story. Rich Ruohonen and Nate Maus worked up this case over a few years and litigated this matter, settling shortly before trial. TSR hired numerous experts to prove her ejection was the fault of the driver and the owner of the golf cart. Julia hit her head on the cart path and suffered a severe traumatic brain injury. She had subarachnoid hemorrhaging and subdural hematomas. She underwent a craniectomy where part of the skull is removed for a few weeks, to allow for the brain to swell, and later put back on to her head after the swelling subsides. Julia had seizures and has no memory of the first few months in the hospital and a rehabilitation center. She had medical bills of approximately $700,000, most of which were incurred in the first six months following the golf cart crash. Julia has significant ongoing symptoms including loss of cognitive and executive function, personality and behavioral changes, fatigue, loss of motivation, memory problems, dizziness, inability to learn new information, retrieve information, and numerous other issues. The case was settled for $2,750,000 during an all-day mediation.
N.R. suffered a severe, traumatic brain while under the care of a commercial daycare provider. She is believed to have been shaken while at the daycare by one of the workers. There were no cameras at the daycare to show what occurred. When she was picked up by her parent, she seemed lethargic and a police investigation ensued, and it was narrowed down to two workers that cared for her that day as being the cause of what occurred. Neither would admit that anything unusual occurred. Medical doctors confirmed this type of brain injury usually only occurs in the event a child is shaken. Partner Rich Ruohonen is well-known for representing children who are injured as a result of daycare provider negligence and was hired to represent N.R. He was able to secure a $1,000,000 settlement for N.R. Although N.R. still has ongoing effects from the traumatic brain injury, N.R. has improved far better than ever expected and should lead a normal life.
When pursuing compensation in a personal injury lawsuit, it must be proven that the at-fault party caused and/or contributed to an incident that resulted in plaintiff suffering an injury. Building a case to prove this can be complex and time consuming, where many injury victims are unable to fully investigate all of the details that may be associated with their incident.
At TSR Injury Law, our legal team can review the available information and evaluate if there are sufficient grounds to file a damages lawsuit. If you have a case and decide to move forward, our team of lawyers, paralegals, case managers and investigators can begin to build the case and gather evidence to help us prove the four elements of negligence, which include:

No Fees Unless We Win
If you are considering filing a personal injury claim, there are different forms of compensation that may be available after a car accident, dog bite, slip and fall, or any other injury-causing event.
However, the damages you may be awarded will depend on how your injuries have affected you financially, physically and mentally. It must be established that the accident resulted in damages and the damages were necessary and reasonable. As each case is unique, we encourage contacting an injury lawyer at our firm to review your specific situation.
Depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible to recover compensation for the following:

The cost of medical care after an accident can be significant. You may be seeking reimbursement for treatment you have already received or compensation for the estimated cost of future medical care needed to aid in your recovery. In Minnesota, you may be able to recover the following medical-related losses:
Damage to property may also be a consideration in a damages calculation. Based on the extent of damage done to your personal property, you may be eligible to recover compensation to replace or repair the property for the fair market value. This could include reimbursement for damage done to a motor vehicle in a car, motorcycle or truck accident.
Many victims are unable to get back to work as quickly as they would like to following an injury. The accident may have had an impact on salary and other forms of income. This includes income you have already lost from missed time at work as well as income you may have been able to earn in the future, had you not been in an accident. You may be able to recover lost wages and loss of earning capacity based on the severity of your injury.
Injury victims may also experience physical pain and discomfort from the date of the accident and also, pain and discomfort that may be need to be endured in the future. As these damages are difficult to monetize, calculating their value may require a detailed evaluation of the emotional pain the accident caused. If you have a case, you may be reimbursed for the following:
Punitive damages may be available under Minnesota law, but they are rarely awarded. These damages are awarded only if your attorney can prove the at-fault party showed a deliberate disregard to cause harm to others. A Minneapolis personal injury lawyer at our firm is ready to review your situation and determine the value of your injuries.

Personal injury victims that are represented by a licensed personal injury lawyer recover more financial compensation compared to victims that have no legal representation.
At TSR Injury Law, we also have access to medical experts and other industry specialists to help us strengthen your claim and establish the full value of your damages. We can reconstruct the scene of the accident, take steps to preserve important evidence, and prepare your case for trial if the insurance company does not offer fair compensation.
Injury victims often face mounting medical bills and other related expenses and may believe they cannot afford to seek legal representation. However, our firm offers free consultations so that we can review your claim and determine the legal options available to you to see if you are eligible for compensation for your injury. If you have a case, we work on a contingency fee basis, which means that you only pay us if we help you win.
Our legal team has years of experience recovering millions in verdicts and settlements for our clients. We know what it takes to thoroughly investigate accidents, collect strong evidence, analyze your injuries, and communicate with the insurance company on your behalf in order to seek just and fair compensation for you and your family.
It’s also important to note that while our lawyers have many years of experience taking cases to trial, most cases do not actually go to court — at least not for a lengthy trial. The vast majority of cases are settled outside of court before a lawsuit is even filed. Even if a trial is imminent, many lawyers will force mediation or arbitration before a jury is ever selected.
Being partially responsible for the accident can affect how much compensation you may be able to receive. The state of Minnesota follows a comparative fault rule. The rule allows victims to seek compensation only if they were less at fault than the other party (no more than 50 percent).
Any damages recovered will be reduced by the amount of fault attributed to the victim. For instance, if you were found to be 30 percent responsible for causing the accident, your reward amount would be reduced by 30 percent. If you are more than 50 percent at fault, you will be barred from seeking compensation.

In Minnesota, most personal injury victims have just two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. If you fail to file before those two years pass, you may be unable to file a lawsuit.
However, there can be certain exceptions to this law. For example, if the injured person is a minor at the time of the accident, the statute of limitations is extended to the minors 18th birthday. There is another exception for lawsuits against government entities – victims must file a notice of claim within only 180 days of their injury.
If you have any questions about the statute of limitations or are unsure if your time to file has passed, we recommend that you reach out to one of our Minneapolis personal injury attorneys.
The duration of a personal injury lawsuit depends on many factors, including:

Soon after you have been injured in an accident, you will likely be contacted by one or more insurance companies. The insurance company’s goal is to gather as much information as possible to use against you when you open a claim to pursue compensation for your injuries.
It is important that you choose your words carefully in order to protect your best interests. Saying the wrong thing can have a negative impact on your claim.
You can decline to speak to the insurance company until you have talked to an attorney. You can also allow your attorney to deal with the insurance company on your behalf.
If you decide to speak to the insurance adjuster, refrain from giving more details than necessary.
Statements NOT to make to a representative of the insurance company may include the following:

What you do immediately following an accident can have a huge impact on your personal injury claim. Consulting with a lawyer is just one of many essential steps we encourage you to take in order to protect a potential legal claim for compensation. Other important actions include:
