Overview
Experienced Representation for Significant Injury Cases
Robins Kaplan personal injury attorneys have compassion for our clients and passion for justice. We understand that an unexpected catastrophic injury or death causes many hardships for you and loved ones. We know that, when life takes an unexpected turn for those who have experienced the most devastating and life-altering events, having the right legal representation can make all the difference.
Our attorneys are dedicated to addressing catastrophic, serious, life-altering injuries and wrongful death cases, where individuals and families’ lives have been permanently and forever altered. We understand the gravity of serious injury and aim to provide compassionate, focused legal representation to those in the most challenging circumstances.
Our specialization in significant injury and wrongful death cases allows us to provide a level of expertise and focus that can be crucial; allowing our attorneys to concentrate resources, expertise, and attention where the impact is most profound. Examples of cases we handle include:
Catastrophic Injury: Severe or devastating injuries, life-changing and traumatic injuries, profound injuries, and irreversible injuries.
Wrongful Death: Negligent fatalities, fatal crashes, and fatal workplace incidents.
Serious Injuries: Severe harm, major bodily injuries, and critical injuries.
Life-altering Injuries: Long-term life-impacting injuries, injuries causing permanent change or prolonged effects, and injuries that cause permanent disability.
We Take on Complexity
Our courtroom experience and success in personal injury and wrongful death cases include some of the most complicated cases. Catastrophic events like fires and explosions, deadly drunk driver accidents, significant car, truck, and motorcycle catastrophes, and fatal airplane crashes often have one thing in common: a wrongdoer failed to use reasonable care and their carelessness caused severe or permanent harm to you or someone you love.
You are Not Alone
We see the person and family behind every personal injury or wrongful death case. We understand that, because of a catastrophic event or wrongful death, life may never be the same again. We may be able to help you and your family handle the many difficulties a serious injury or wrongful death brings. Our attorneys and in-house resources including investigators, medical advisors and Ph.D. science advisors are ready to tackle complicated incidents that require real courtroom know-how.
We have clarified or helped change laws that protect individual rights in important cases before the Supreme Courts of Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, and Iowa. Our attorneys have appeared on the Today Show (NBC), CBS News, Good Morning America (ABC), Dateline NBC, and other news programs and have been consistently named Super Lawyers and Best Lawyers in America.
