We opposed summary judgment motions from two Defendants seeking to dismiss the case of a man blinded in an industrial accident from high voltage electricity. I am sorry to report that the Federal District Court dismissed this case and it is now on appeal to the Eighth Circuit.

Minnesota appellate lawyer stalwart, Wil Fluegel, is assisting Jim Miller and I in seeking to reverse this injustice in taking away, wrongfully, our client’s right to a trial by jury. Perhaps we can catch a break and be able to do the right thing for our client who was injured in a preventable accident that could have been stopped by the manufacturer and installer of the high voltage system.

We have argued for reversal of yet another Federal District Court decision that severely limits the rights of Plaintiffs to a trial by jury and to recover for injuries caused by defective products in Minnesota. Again, Wil Fluegel, President of the Minnesota Trial Lawyers has argued this case for us. Please keep our client in your thoughts and best wishes for a reversal by the Eighth Circuit,as our client lost most of his hand due to complete and utter disregard for product safety.

We are representing a young man who is in a coma and a double amputee from a high speed car crash. We were looking for ways to help this family. I am happy to report that we have been successful in helping and our client is on his way to a full life. He is out of a coma, he is at Courage Center learning the life skills he will need to overcome his disabilities and he is an inspiration to me. Along with my friend, Randy Boggio, we were able to set up a Special Needs Trust which will assist him to have the benefits of his personal injury recovery while maintaining his eligibility for Medical Assistance. I am proud of the accomplishments of this young man and our work on the case. Randy, you are a little slow, but you do good work.

We are helping a man whose medical records were disclosed without permission and broadcast throughout a community in Minnesota. Interestingly, the medical clinic is defending, has not offered a dime in settlement and is trying to disparage my client. Oh, boy…. let’s be afraid and just let the big medical corporations do what they wish including publishing sensitive medical information about it’s patients to the community at large. Let’s just go away and let them do what they want because it is too expensive to fight medical corporations.
