Our client’s husband was hunting coyotes in North Dakota with his friends in February. A member of his hunting party took a shot at a coyote without knowing where all the members of the hunting party were located. He accidently shot our client in the leg. Unfortunately because the snow cover was so heavy, he died before his colleagues could reach him in the deep snow.

Our client was riding his motorcycle in Plymouth, MN on a sunny afternoon when he slowed down for a set of railroad tracks and was rear ended by the vehicle traveling behind him.  It is believed his motorcycle was pushed forward quite some distance underneath the vehicle.  Our client was wearing a helmet yet he sustained a sub-dural hematoma, two skull fractures, a broken collar bone, two broken ribs, a broken tailbone, two broken toes, and 3 broken bones in his foot.

Our client was a Russian immigrant who came to this country after working for several years as a professional in Moscow. Our client was able to speak limited English. Shortly after purchasing a new vehicle in the United States, our client was involved in a car accident on snowy roads.

One of our clients suffered a serious brain injury when he lost control of an ATV and hit a tree.  Just 15 years old at the time of the accident, he was operating the ATV while performing clean up work for a landscape business.  The family's health insurance company fought responsibility for his medical bills and the workers' compensation insurance company denied liability.

Many Minnesotans remember the sad news from downtown St. Cloud, Minnesota, when a gas line explosion in December 1998 leveled an entire city block and killed four people, injuring 15. According to federal investigators, construction workers drilling an anchor into the ground to brace a utility pole punctured a plastic natural-gas pipe, causing the leak that led to the explosion.

Our client was on his way to work on morning in July, 2018. As he entered an intersection, suddenly and without warning, a vehicle turned in front of him, causing our client to be thrown off his motorcycle and onto the hood of the car that struck him. He then flew over the roof of that car and landed on the trunk then to the ground.

Our client and his wife were riding their motorcycles on a two-lane highway.  Our client was the lead motorcycle and his wife was riding behind him.  They met 5-6 cars going the opposite direction and the 3rd car in that line of vehicles drifted over into our client's lane.  Our client swerved to avoid the car, but it struck the side of his motorcycle with the driver's door area.  The driver that struck him continued on and didn't stop. Our client's wife stopped and the two people in the car right behind her stopped and asked what had happened.  She said that her husband had been hit by a car that kept going.  The people in that vehicle then turned around and found the vehicle that had struck our client a short distance down the road. The driver was trying to change a flat tire sustained in the accident.  When the police arrived at the scene, they arrested the driver, who was intoxicated at the time of the accident.

Our client, an 11 year-old girl, was hospitalized for over a month after becoming ill with E.coli poisoning from eating a contaminated hamburger. The hamburger was linked to an E.coli outbreak that led Cargill Meat Solutions to recall 845,000 pounds of frozen hamburger patties in 2007. The pre-formed hamburger patties were bought at Sam's Club and grilled at home. Within two days, our client became sick with stomach cramps, nausea and severe diarrhea. After she became sick, the meat was turned over to the Minnesota Department of Health, which found it contaminated with E.coli.

Jeff Sieben settled a wrongful death action for a family whose minivan was hit by a semi on an Iowa interstate. The semi-truck operator lost control and his truck crossed the median of the freeway and struck our clients' vehicle.

Our client was a young boy who was to undergo a skin harvest from his scalp for grafting of skin to his feet, related to burns he had sustained.  The intent by the surgeon was to harvest a split-thickness graft with an instrument called a dermatome.  However, a full-thickness portion of scalp was taken, resulting in traumatic alopecia and scarring.  It was necessary to harvest skin from a different area of the boy's body, and over the next several years, 3 additional procedures were done in attempts to excise the area of alopecia and scarring.  A similar procedure is anticipated to be performed when the boy is older.
