Minneapolis Spinal Injury Lawyer

Spinal injuries can disrupt your life, sometimes temporarily and sometimes for extended periods. They can make it impossible to work, play with your children, or even complete simple everyday tasks. Severe spinal injuries can make it difficult to move without excruciating pain. While dealing with the loss of income and quality of life problems, you also must worry about your medical bills.
You should not have to face all the problems caused by your spinal injury when the cause was someone else’s fault. If someone else caused your injury, they should have to help pay for your care.

At Tyroler Leonard Injury Law, we are ready to stand by your side and fight for every penny you deserve.

Your Spinal Injury Lawyer Fights Insurance Companies Too
Battles with insurance companies often come before a court fight. If you cannot come to a settlement, insurance companies are not shy about going to court. They have deep pockets and do not want to pay out large settlements. They would often rather try to wear you down into accepting much less money than you deserve. Unfortunately, this includes both your own insurance company and the company of the person whose negligence caused your injuries.
Never Talk to an Insurance Company Without Your Minneapolis Spinal Injury Lawyer Present
Insurance companies can use the information you give them against you if you end up in court. When you are first injured, you are dealing with the pain of your injuries and the emotional toll of having to mold your life around being less mobile. That is precisely when insurance companies will try to take advantage of you and encourage you to take a low settlement to get the claim over with.
If your insurance company or the company for the negligent party wants to meet, contact our Minneapolis spinal injury lawyer immediately. We will advise you on whether to speak to the company at all, and we will be right there to guide you through any meetings and speak on your behalf. Call us at Tyroler Leonard Injury Law today at 615-259-1113.
Tyroler Leonard Injury Law won a $608,000 verdict for a woman who needed back surgery after a Minnesota car accident. The insurance company tried to get her to settle for $26,000.
Determining Negligence in Minnesota Spinal Injury Cases
Personal injury cases in Minnesota are decided by a comparative fault standard, as laid out in Minnesota Statutes 604.01. The law also refers to it as contributory fault. When determining negligence, there is a consideration for how much responsibility to assign to each party in personal injury cases.
Even if you contributed to your spinal injury due to your own actions, you could still recover if the other party were more at fault than you. Assigning blame is key to your case and one of the reasons you need an experienced, passionate injury attorney by your side. The other party and their insurance company will do everything they can to prove that your injury was more your fault than theirs. If they win that argument, you cannot collect.
We have a long history of proving negligence on the part of other parties at Tyroler Leonard Injury Law. It is not enough to say that you established your case. We will prove it in a court of law. To do that, we will show that the other party had a duty of care and that, through their negligence, they did not meet that duty. We do that by illustrating, through well-researched, thorough evidence, that the other party did not act the way a reasonable person would, given the same circumstances. They will argue that they did not do what you are accusing them of, or that it was not due to negligence if they did. We will not buy that argument. We will provide the evidence that the insurance company, the judge, or a jury needs to give you a fair settlement for your injuries.
Do not let someone else blame you for their actions. Protect yourself by letting our personal injury attorney prove their negligence for you.
When Do You Need a Spinal Injury Lawyer?
Spinal injuries can happen in several ways, and if someone else’s negligence causes them, you deserve to collect. This will help you deal with your medical and other costs. Your spinal cord injury attorney at Tyroler Leonard Injury Law has a long background in dealing with several types of incidents that lead to personal injuries. Regardless of how it happened, we will fight vigorously on your behalf if you suffer a spinal injury due to someone else’s negligence.
Spinal Injuries from Car Accidents
Being in a car accident, or being hit by a car, can be a very traumatic experience. You not only have to deal with your injuries but also the potential loss or repair of your vehicle, time missed from work, and other hardships. You should never try to deal with recovery from a car accident on your own. Insurance companies will try to take advantage of your current mindset and get you to settle for the lowest amount possible. Realizing afterward that your settlement does not begin to cover your costs adds even more to your pain and losses.
You can count on our car accident attorneys, Isaac Tyroler and Rachel Sperling Leonard, to fight for every penny you deserve. Our team will ask you detailed questions about your accident and listen with compassion and an eye toward strengthening your case. We will gather medical records, accident reports, eyewitness statements, and everything else you need to get a fair settlement.
Spinal Injuries from Slip and Falls
Businesses and property owners have a duty to keep their spaces safe. Unfortunately, their negligence makes it not uncommon for people to suffer a spinal injury due to wet floors, uneven sidewalks, uncleared snow, and other hazards. These cases often involve people with deep pockets who are more than willing to let their lawyers and insurance companies push off settling your case until you give in for a low amount because you need the money. They do not care about your injuries or whether it was their fault. They only care about not paying out. They would rather pay their lawyers than pay you in the hopes of not tarnishing their reputations or setting the stage for other cases. Insurance companies are in the business of making money. Paying out large claims is not good business for them.
With all of this facing you, choose the slip and fall attorney who will never back down from a fight. Even if it takes years, our team at Tyroler Leonard will stand by you. We will continue to answer all your questions, help your family understand each part of the process, and answer every challenge the other side throws our way.
Spinal Injuries Due to Other Causes
Unfortunately, back injuries can occur in any number of circumstances. An intoxicated fan could injure you at a Vikings game, or a negligent worker could hit you with a shopping cart in the mall parking lot. There are endless ways you can end up injured at the hands of another, but luckily your case will come down to the same question: Who is at fault for your injuries?
Regardless of the circumstances, your spinal cord injury attorney at Tyroler Leonard is ready to gather the evidence you need to collect.
What if My Spinal Injury Happened at Work?
You are entitled to economic relief through Worker’s Compensation if you are injured at work. You cannot sue your employer for personal injury even if they or a coworker were negligent. You can still collect money for your medical bills, some loss of wages, and other benefits if you suffer a spinal injury at work.
Filing for Worker’s Compensation can be complicated and depends on submitting reports and claims to the right people within specific time frames. If you suffer an injury at work, seek medical care immediately. If you do not get proof of your injuries, the insurance company will claim that you were never actually hurt. To move your claim forward from the start, report your injury to your employer.
To ensure that you navigate Worker’s Compensation properly to get the money you deserve, contact our Minnesota work injury lawyer after receiving medical care. We can help you file your paperwork on time and fight the insurance company if they try to claim that you do not deserve compensation.
How Much Money Can Your Spine Injury Attorney Help You Recover?
It is difficult to place an exact number on how much you can collect following a spinal injury due to someone else’s negligence. There are several types of damages that we fight for on your behalf. Our goal is to both make you economically whole again, and to make the other side pay for the pain and suffering caused by your accident.
Compensatory Damages
You cannot recover from your spinal injury and return to your life without addressing your monetary losses. Our spinal injury attorneys will fight tirelessly to ensure that you receive economic compensation for the following:
- Lost wages
- Medical Bills
- Rehabilitation
- Loss of future earnings
- In-home care
- Legal fees.
We will also fight to get you compensatory damages for the emotional aspects of your spinal cord injury. This could include compensation for your pain and suffering, disability, and a lower quality of life. If you experience mental distress following your injuries, such as anxiety or PTSD, we will argue that the other party is responsible for paying for your care in that regard as well.
Punitive Damages
You are not entitled to punitive damages in every personal injury case, but if you deserve them, we will fight for them. If the other party acted in a way that showed a deliberate disregard for your rights or safety, we will argue for punitive damages. In these cases, a public good is associated with making that party pay for their actions.
You might be entitled to punitive damages if your injuries were caused by a drunk driver or during a road rage incident. Get the extra compensation you deserve by contacting our spinal cord injury lawyer today at 615-259-1113.
Can My Case Settle Without Going to Court?
Our goal is to get you the compensation you deserve in the quickest way possible. Sometimes that means settling out of court. We will help you do so when the amount that the other side is offering is fair and at least close to the amount you could win in court. We always put your needs first and work on a contingency fee, so that you do not have to worry about paying us until your case is over.
We are entirely focused on your needs. If the other side is unwilling to negotiate or offer a fair settlement, we will continue to fight on your behalf when your case gets to court. For six weeks or six years, you can count on your Tyroler Leonard spinal injury attorney to be a part of the team working to make you whole again.

Make Your Next Call to Our Spine Injury Attorneys, Not to the Insurance Company
At Tyroler Leonard Injury Law, we are well-versed in the manipulative tactics that insurance companies use to get victims to settle for less than they deserve. They will tell you that the injury was partly your fault so that you cannot claim. That simply is not true. If the other party bears more responsibility than you for your injuries, you are entitled to compensation. You may deserve $250,000 of your $400,000 costs, but they will try to give you nothing or offer an incredibly low amount.
Insurance companies are not on your side, but Tyroler Leonard Injury Law is. We will not let them interview you and use it against you later. We will fight them every step of the way when they try to delay the process in the hope that you will give in. Your spinal injury attorney at Tyroler Leonard Injury Law will not cave to insurance companies, but we will stand by your side throughout the process.
