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.
You may qualify for compensation if you or your lawyer can prove the four elements of negligence were present at the time of your accident.
The four elements are:
Proving negligence is a complex task that requires extensive legal knowledge, experience and resources. Our firm has decades of combined experience building negligence cases and has a dedicated legal team ready to investigate, gather evidence and build a robust argument for an injury victim’s claim.
Since no two traumatic brain accidents are the same, this is a difficult question to answer without a review of your circumstances. There are many factors involved, such as the details of the at-fault party’s insurance policy and the amount of time it takes you to recover from your injury. Normally a claim will not be settled until your injury has stabilized so you can account for all medical expenses.
Regardless of your situation, a St. Paul traumatic brain injury lawyer from TSR Injury Law is prepared to review your situation to determine what your damages might be worth, if you have a case.
Some of the damages you may be compensated for include:

You may be wondering if there is a time limit or deadline to file your personal injury claim, and the answer is – yes. Minnesota law states you have two years after the injury is discovered to file a claim.
However, there could be certain details that give you more or less time to file. For instance, if you were a minor at the time of the accident, you have two years from your 18th birthday to file your claim. However, if your claim happens to be against a government entity, you only have 180 days to give that entity notice of your intent to file legal action. If you miss the deadline for your claim, you run the risk of having your case dismissed.
The clock could be running on your claim. Our St. Paul traumatic brain injury lawyers are ready to review your situation and determine the deadline that may apply.
Traumatic brain injuries (also known as TBI’s) are commonly caused by a blow or bump to the head that creates some type of disruption to the brain’s normal ability to function. TBI’s are commonly separated into the following two types:
These types of brain injuries are caused by blunt force trauma to the head, causing the brain to move around inside the skull. For example, if someone slips and falls and bangs his or her head on the ground, they may suffer from a concussion or worse. Closed head injuries could cause lifelong cognitive problems.
These happen when an object pierces through the skull and hits the brain, which usually causes severe damage. If the object is made of metal, the injury could be much more difficult to treat because the victim will not be able to go into an MRI machine because these machines have magnets that could pull on the metal object and cause more damage.
Some of the more common types of traumatic brain injuries are:
TBI’s can result from a variety of different accidents, such as:
