Minnesota Personal Injury Lawyer

What You Get When a Minnesota Personal Injury Attorney from Mottaz & Sisk Injury Law Is Leading Your Case

Clients give us their cases to resolve, and also their trust that we will deliver the result they deserve. In return, we provide comprehensive legal services with dedicated care and a tireless work ethic. By handling their personal injury cases, we also afford clients the time and space necessary to heal and come to terms with their post-accident reality.

We also exhibit genuine compassion and respect for those we fight for and do everything in our power to get them the medical care, mental health services, and other resources that survivors of negligence often need.

Our former clients have told us that this exchange—their trust for our considerable legal services and resources—is more than fair. Many times, we hear that a client’s decision to hire us is one of the best they have ever made, and not just because they now have the compensation they need to move forward with their life. Our representation makes a mark, and that lasting impression comes from:

• The results we consistently deliver: No personal injury case is too complex or daunting for our team. Numerous attorneys at Mottaz & Sisk Injury Law have led cases to the Minnesota Supreme Court—with such experience, it’s no surprise that we regularly deliver attention-grabbing settlements and verdicts in our personal injury cases.
• A penetrating perspective behind insurance companies’ curtains: Several of our Minnesota personal injury attorneys (including President Jerry Sisk) have backgrounds representing insurance companies. This firsthand perspective into insurers’ tactics and operations provides our clients with a strong starting position in negotiations and litigation.
• Our award-winning legal talent: The firm’s attorneys have earned prestigious recognitions that only a small percentage of lawyers achieve. Our lawyers are recognized by Super Lawyers, U.S. News & World Report, and our legal peers in the Minnesota communities we serve. We aren’t bragging. Our attorneys are highly qualified and respected in the Minnesota communities we serve. 
• An uncompromising belief that clients’ needs come first, always: Unlike many larger firms that treat clients as case numbers and forget the client’s name as soon as they sign, Mottaz & Sisk prioritizes the human element of each personal injury case. Our clients can’t help but feel the warmth, compassion, and genuine care we feel towards them, and we will consider you to be another member of our team. 

Our firm is invested in Minnesota, with three offices conveniently located to serve every corner of the state. Yet, it’s the investment we make in Minnesota’s people that most defines us as a firm.

If you want legal services you can rely on, paired with service you won’t forget, choose your Minnesota personal injury lawyer from Mottaz & Sisk Injury Law.

Who Mottaz & Sisk Injury Law’s Personal Injury Attorneys Represent

While the mantra “Minnesota Nice” applies to most Minnesotans most of the time, we have seen how locals (and out-of-towners) too often act carelessly or recklessly when it suits them. Some of the incidents that compel us to seek justice for victims are:

• Car, SUV, and pickup truck accidents, which represent the majority of personal injury cases in Minnesota. 
• Truck accidents and other commercial vehicle crashes that typically require an understanding of federal transportation regulations in addition to Minnesota state law. 
• Pedestrian and bicycle accidents, which have become increasingly common as Minneapolis, St. Paul, and many other communities work to become more walkable and bike-friendly cities, they’re not there yet, and there will always be careless motorists who endanger walkers, joggers, bike riders, and other victims.
• Animal attacks, including dog bites, that cause both physical and psychological trauma to both minor and adult victims. Minnesota’s dog bite statute holds owners strictly liable for damages, but insurance coverage issues can complicate these cases.
• Premises liability cases arise when dangerous conditions on someone else’s property cause injuries. 
• Slip and fall accidents, a specific type of premises liability case worth singling out due to its frequency and potential to cause victims severe brain injuries (and other life-changing medical conditions). Minnesota’s inclement winter weather only heightens the risk of slip-and-fall accidents.
• Cases involving head injuries and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) demand particular attention because these injuries aren’t always immediately apparent, but often cause long-term hardship for the people who suffer them.
• Workers’ compensation claims, which fall under a different legal framework than other personal injury cases, showcase our attorneys’ versatility (including in cases where clients pursue both a workers’ compensation claim and a lawsuit).
• Wrongful death cases, which are undoubtedly the most heart-wrenching cases our lawyers encounter, compel us to put ourselves in the survivors’ shoes so that we can truly comprehend the magnitude of their losses.

Even if your circumstances are not listed, we ask you to call our team. We are the firm you want advocating for you, and if we can help, we will.

The Goal of Your Case: Recoverable Damages and Your Complete Financial Recovery

Minnesota law recognizes that injuries result in both tangible and intangible losses, which can only be adequately addressed by compensation for the victim. This is what personal injury law is all about—ensuring that victims of negligence receive fair compensation for their economic and non-economic damages.

Minnesota law recognizes that injuries create various losses that deserve compensation. The damages you may be entitled to recover include:

• Medical expenses
• Rehabilitation and therapy costs (which can overlap with medical costs)
• Medication costs
• Lost income and earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Property damage
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Home modification costs
• Loss of consortium (which reflects harm to spousal relationships)
• Disfigurement and scarring (and the cost of surgery or other services to address any disfigurement)

Minnesota law allows certain family members to recover additional damages in wrongful death cases. These can include funeral and burial expenses, the financial support the deceased would have provided, and the loss of companionship, care, and guidance that survivors must now live without.

We don’t believe in half measures when it comes to clients’ financial recoveries. Fair is fair, and your Minnesota personal injury lawyer from our team will have every intention of delivering a fair financial recovery to you.

Everything You Need: Your Case Will Be Your Lawyer’s Responsibility

From the moment you hire Mottaz & Sisk Injury Law, we become your advocates and guides through every aspect of the legal process. In fact, you won’t see or hear about most of the work we do. Although we will update you regularly, we will be working diligently while you rest, see your doctors, and attend to any other necessary tasks to recover.

Some of the responsibilities your lawyer and their support staff will handle for you include:

• A case investigation that begins right away. We secure accident scenes, obtain police reports, interview witnesses, gather surveillance footage, and retain experts to help us create, interpret, and present evidence. 
• Documenting your damages to ensure that your injuries and medical care are vividly depicted in your case. We will also secure any financial records, expert opinions, photographs, and other documentation related to the case.
• Dealing with insurance companies, which quickly recognize that our attorneys have a thorough understanding of the insurance industry (and in some cases, a professional background in that industry). Insurers will know not to waste time with bad-faith strategies; we will demand an honest approach from them.
• Securing a fair settlement, which might require a hard-nosed negotiation, especially if insurers are determined to blame, lowball, or mistreat you in any other way.
• A trial showdown, which can be necessary when liable parties negotiate unreasonably (or not at all), and going to court becomes our client’s best strategy.

Personal injury cases are all distinct, so the challenges and demands of your case are unpredictable. Our lawyers’ extensive experience, composure under pressure, and comprehensive grasp of personal injury law make them especially valuable.
