Personal injury cases generically refer to those cases where a person is injured as a result of a wrongdoing by another. Thus, a personal injury case can arise under a host of different scenarios;
however, the most common include auto accidents, dog bites, slip and falls, snowmobile accidents, and ATV accidents. Some lesser-known cases may involve defective products, illegal sale of alcohol
by liquor establishments, and railroad injuries.
Shermoen & Jaksa has handled all types of personal injury cases; but, simply due to its common occurrence, focuses on auto accident cases and the Minnesota No-Fault Law. In all injury
cases, we do not charge an hourly rate for our time; rather, our fees are a percentage of any recovery you receive from any settlement we obtain for you. If there is no monetary recovery, you pay no
attorney fees. Thus, it costs you absolutely nothing to call or stop by if you wish to discuss your rights or what you should do now that you have been injured. Please do not wait or do nothing if you
have been injured. Insurance companies are counting on you doing exactly that.
