From wooded single‑track to frozen lakes, North Oaks residents enjoy Minnesota’s four‑season playground.

If you were hurt in a recreational or off‑road incident, we can review your options, explain how insurance may apply, and take on the communications while you focus on healing.
Recreational vehicle claims differ from typical car crashes. Policies vary, liability can be contested, and injuries may not be immediately apparent. Prompt medical care and early documentation matter, as does identifying all available coverage, including recreational vehicle insurance, homeowners policies, med‑pay, and health insurance. Based in Minnesota, Metro Law Offices understands the riding culture in and around North Oaks and the unique issues that arise on private property, trails, and frozen lakes. We provide clear guidance and practical steps after an off‑road injury, from preserving your gear to coordinating records with your providers.

We welcome your questions and offer a free consultation at 651-615-3322 to discuss your situation, your coverage, and a practical strategy for moving forward.
Recreational and off‑road injury claims typically involve negligence, unsafe property conditions, or defective products. The setting can be a private trail in North Oaks, a club‑maintained corridor, or a lake used for winter riding. Unlike on‑road crashes, coverage may come from a mix of recreational vehicle policies, homeowners insurance, medical payments coverage, and health insurance. Establishing liability requires careful fact‑gathering: photos of the scene, helmet and gear preservation, ride data, and witness statements. Prompt medical evaluation is essential to document injuries that may not be obvious at first. Our role is to connect the facts, coverage, and damages so insurers see the full picture of your loss.
Timing is important because evidence disappears quickly on trails and ice. Snow drifts, groomed pathways, and changing conditions can erase tracks and hazards within hours. We help secure photos, GPS data, and maintenance records to support your account of what happened. We also review applicable Minnesota laws, including comparative fault, recreational use issues, and notice requirements that may apply when public entities are involved. From day one, we focus on your health and financial stability by coordinating benefits, tracking bills, and presenting clear proof of pain, limitations, and lost income. Our goal is to build a case that is accurate, well‑documented, and persuasive.
A recreational or off‑road injury claim arises when someone is harmed while using vehicles like ATVs, UTVs, snowmobiles, or off‑highway motorcycles, or while participating in outdoor activities on trails, private land, or frozen lakes. These claims may involve negligent operation by another rider, unsafe property conditions, or defective parts and equipment. Unlike street collisions, proof can hinge on trail conditions, signage, grooming, maintenance routines, and the conduct of multiple parties. Coverage sources vary, so identifying every available policy is essential. We work to pinpoint what went wrong, who may be responsible, and how to present your injuries, medical care, wage loss, and other damages for a full and fair evaluation.
Successful off‑road injury claims rely on four building blocks: liability, causation, damages, and coverage. Liability addresses who acted carelessly and how; causation connects that conduct to your injuries; damages document the impact on your body, work, and daily life; and coverage determines which policies can pay. We gather photos, witness statements, medical records, and receipts for damaged equipment. We also handle insurer communications and settlement discussions, aiming to resolve your claim efficiently while protecting your rights. If an early resolution is not appropriate, we explore litigation with you, explaining risks, timelines, and costs so you can make informed choices at every step.
Understanding common terms can help you make confident decisions. Comparative fault affects how responsibility is divided among riders and landowners. Medical payments and health insurance coordination can influence how your bills are handled during the claim. Product liability may apply when a part fails on the trail, and statutes of limitation set deadlines for different types of claims. We translate these concepts into practical steps, like preserving damaged gear, tracking symptoms, and communicating with insurers in a way that protects your interests. When questions arise, we provide clear, Minnesota‑focused answers, tailored to how off‑road claims unfold in North Oaks and the surrounding Ramsey County communities.
Comparative fault is the legal framework that allocates responsibility among everyone involved in an incident. In off‑road cases, that can include riders, passengers, landowners, and maintenance entities. Your recovery may be reduced by your share of responsibility, and in some circumstances, too much fault can bar a recovery altogether. Because trail conditions change rapidly, documenting what happened is essential to show how the event unfolded. Photos of ruts, signage, grooming, and impact points can help clarify responsibility. We analyze the facts, evaluate statements, and present evidence so insurers and, if necessary, a jury can fairly assess conduct and assign responsibility under Minnesota law.
Medical payments coverage, often called med‑pay, may be included in recreational vehicle or homeowners policies and can help pay medical bills after an off‑road injury, regardless of fault and subject to policy limits. It is not the same as health insurance, and coordination between the two matters to avoid gaps or duplicate payments. Using med‑pay can reduce immediate out‑of‑pocket costs while a liability claim is investigated. We review your policies, confirm eligibility, and help route bills correctly so providers are paid and collections pressure is reduced. Proper coordination can also protect your eventual settlement from unnecessary reimbursement demands by insurers.
Product liability involves injuries caused by defective vehicles, components, or safety gear. In off‑road claims, that may include failed brakes, steering components, throttle issues, helmet defects, or aftermarket parts that do not perform as intended. Proving a product claim requires preserving the vehicle and components so they can be inspected by qualified professionals. Maintenance logs, recall notices, and purchase records are also valuable. Because multiple parties may be involved—including manufacturers, distributors, and installers—these cases require careful investigation and a methodical approach. We help secure the equipment, coordinate inspections, and evaluate whether a product theory should be pursued alongside negligence or premises liability claims.
A statute of limitations is a legal deadline to start a claim or lawsuit. The correct deadline can vary based on the nature of your case, the parties involved, the location of the incident, and the types of coverage at issue. Missing a deadline can end your ability to recover, even if liability is strong. Because evidence fades quickly in off‑road cases, waiting can also make proof harder to obtain. We encourage prompt action so we can identify the applicable deadline, preserve key records, and move your claim forward on a timeline that safeguards your rights under Minnesota law.
After an ATV, UTV, snowmobile, or dirt bike crash, you can manage your claim alone, work with an attorney for targeted tasks, or retain full representation. A limited approach may fit minor injuries with clear liability and cooperative insurers. A comprehensive approach may be better where injuries are significant, responsibility is disputed, or multiple policies and liens must be coordinated. We tailor our involvement to your goals, balancing speed, cost, and outcome. During your consultation, we discuss what success looks like for you, the documentation needed, and the best way to handle negotiations so you can make an informed choice.
If your injuries are minor, fully evaluated, and resolve quickly, a limited engagement can be sensible. This may involve assistance with organizing records, verifying coverage, and preparing a concise settlement packet while you handle straightforward communications. Clear liability, responsive adjusters, and prompt med‑pay or health insurance payments can make a streamlined strategy effective. We help you avoid common pitfalls, like signing overly broad releases or overlooking future care. The goal is to provide just enough guidance to protect your interests without prolonging the process, so you can close the claim and move forward with confidence.
When only one policy is involved and responsibility is not contested, a focused approach can reduce time and cost. We assist with gathering medical records, calculating lost time, and documenting damaged gear to present a clean, verifiable claim. If the insurer acts in good faith and responds promptly, settlement may be reached without extensive negotiation. Even in simple matters, we remain alert to lien issues, subrogation, and final paperwork to prevent surprises after payment. Our role is to keep the process efficient while ensuring the release language, payment timing, and closing documents align with your needs and protect your rights.
Off‑road crashes often involve conflicting accounts, fast‑changing trail conditions, and parties beyond the riders, such as landowners, event organizers, or equipment makers. In these cases, comprehensive representation helps secure scene evidence, analyze maintenance and grooming records, and manage competing insurer narratives. Coordinating statements, expert inspections, and data downloads from devices or sleds can be essential. We also address municipal notice issues when public entities are involved. A thorough approach helps ensure important details are not missed, deadlines are met, and the full scope of your injuries and losses is presented clearly through strong medical and damages documentation.
Significant injuries require careful planning to account for future treatment, wage loss, and life impacts. Multiple coverage sources may apply, including med‑pay, health insurance, and liability policies, each with different rules and reimbursement rights. We coordinate benefits, monitor balances, and negotiate with lienholders so your net recovery is protected. Comprehensive representation also supports you through independent medical examinations, complex settlement discussions, or litigation if needed. Our aim is to present a complete picture of your damages—physical, financial, and personal—so any resolution reflects both current needs and the challenges you may face in the months and years ahead.
A comprehensive strategy keeps your case organized and focused from day one. We create a timeline of the incident, preserve physical evidence, and coordinate with providers to document injuries and treatment plans. Clear, credible documentation helps insurers understand the full impact on your work, family, and activities. This approach also reduces stress by centralizing communication, so you are not juggling adjusters, bills, and forms. By anticipating insurer defenses and addressing them early, we help position your claim for a fair resolution and avoid delays that can occur when key records or proof are missing.
Comprehensive representation also supports long‑term planning. We evaluate future care, potential complications, and the effect of lingering pain or limitations on your life in North Oaks. Coordinating liens and subrogation can significantly impact your net recovery, and negotiating these issues requires persistence and attention to policy language. If settlement is not appropriate, a thorough file transitions smoothly into litigation with preserved evidence and prepared witnesses. At every stage, you will understand the options, risks, and likely timelines. The result is a process designed to honor your goals while pursuing the strongest outcome supported by the facts and the law.
Preserving the machine, helmet, and riding gear can be as important as photos of the trail or ice. We help secure and catalog these items, arrange inspections, and track maintenance and recall information. With a well‑documented file, negotiations focus on facts, not speculation. Detailed medical records, clear wage documentation, and organized proof of damaged equipment create leverage at the table. When insurers see preparation and clarity, they are more likely to engage constructively. If a reasonable agreement cannot be reached, the same evidence strengthens your position in litigation, supporting depositions, motion practice, and, if needed, trial presentation.
Multiple insurance plans can touch the same bill, from med‑pay to health insurance to liability coverage. Without coordination, duplicate payments, collections activity, or large reimbursement claims can erode your recovery. We help route bills properly, track balances, and address liens early, including those from health insurers and public programs. Clear communication with providers and insurers helps prevent surprises at settlement. When it’s time to resolve the claim, we negotiate reimbursement demands where permitted by law, with the goal of maximizing your net result. This careful attention to billing details complements the liability work and supports a successful resolution.
Safety comes first. Once immediate dangers are addressed, gather photos and short videos of the machine, helmet, tracks, signage, and surface conditions. Capture wide shots and close‑ups that show angles, ruts, and impact points. If weather or grooming will change the scene, record quickly. Save contact details for witnesses and riders, and note any maintenance or trail work observed. Keep damaged gear and parts in a safe place without altering them. This evidence can strongly support your account of what happened, especially on North Oaks trails where snow, wind, and traffic can erase details within hours.
Create a simple folder system for policies, claim numbers, and billing statements. List every potential coverage: recreational vehicle insurance, homeowners or renters policies, med‑pay, and health insurance. Send providers the correct claim information to prevent misrouted bills and collections. Track out‑of‑pocket expenses, mileage to appointments, and time missed from work. Keep communications with adjusters polite and brief, and avoid speculation about fault. If forms or releases arrive, review them carefully before signing. An organized approach prevents avoidable delays, supports accurate damages calculations, and helps protect your recovery at settlement time.
Off‑road cases demand quick action and careful coordination. We help North Oaks clients identify coverage, secure evidence, and track medical care while keeping the process understandable and manageable. You will receive straightforward guidance about the strength of your claim, what documentation is needed, and how negotiations are likely to unfold. When issues arise—such as disputed liability or lien questions—we address them promptly. Our goal is to reduce uncertainty, protect your rights, and present a clear, fact‑based case to the insurer or, if needed, the court, while you focus on recovery and getting back to the activities you enjoy.
We understand the unique riding environment in and around North Oaks, from wooded trails to frozen lakes. That local awareness helps us evaluate conditions, signage, and maintenance practices that may factor into liability. We coordinate with your providers and employers to fully capture the impact of your injuries, including lost time and restrictions. We also manage subrogation and lien issues to protect your net result. Whether your goal is a timely settlement or pursuing litigation, we tailor our approach to your priorities, keeping you informed and supported at each step. When you need help, one call can start the process.
We see a range of incidents in North Oaks and Ramsey County. Snowmobile collisions on groomed corridors can involve visibility challenges, speed differences, or unsafe passing. ATV and UTV rollovers often stem from hidden ruts, soft shoulders, or mechanical issues. Off‑road motorcycle crashes may involve trail debris, unmarked obstacles, or negligent operation by others. Some cases include property hazards on private land or defects in protective gear. Each scenario requires quick evidence preservation and a careful review of applicable coverage. The sooner we evaluate the facts, the more effectively we can protect your rights and guide your next steps.
Winter riding is a North Oaks tradition, but snowmobile traffic, drifting snow, and changing light can create hazards. Collisions may occur at trail intersections, on narrow segments, or on lakes where tracks cross at angles. Liability can involve speed, lane position, or failure to maintain a lookout, and visibility is often a factor. We gather helmet cam footage, GPS data, and grooming logs when available, and we interview witnesses who observed conditions before the scene changed. Our goal is to establish a clear record of what happened so we can present a strong claim for your injuries and losses.
ATV and UTV rollovers can occur during routine rides, property work, or group outings near North Oaks. Soft shoulders, hidden ruts, and uneven terrain can contribute, as can cargo shifts, tire issues, or steering problems. We examine the machine’s condition, aftermarket parts, and any recent service to determine whether equipment played a role. We also evaluate property conditions, signage, and warnings. Documenting the rollover path, damage patterns, and injuries provides insight into liability and damages. By coordinating with insurers and medical providers, we work to secure coverage for treatment, wage loss, and replacement of damaged gear.
Off‑road motorcycles are sensitive to trail ruts, loose gravel, and sudden obstacles. Crashes may involve unmarked hazards, poor sightlines, or another rider’s loss of control. In some cases, a part failure or tire issue contributes. We gather photos of the hazard, surface conditions, and any signage, and we preserve the bike and gear for inspection. Medical documentation is critical to connect symptoms with the mechanism of injury. We also review coverage options, including recreational policies, homeowners insurance, and health insurance, to manage bills during the claim. Our goal is to present a complete, credible account supporting full and fair compensation.
We focus on clear communication, thorough preparation, and steady advocacy. From the first call, you’ll know what information matters most, how to protect your claim, and what to expect from insurers. We build your file carefully, documenting medical care, time away from work, and the effect on your daily life. Our team is accessible and proactive, returning calls promptly and providing regular updates, so you always know the status of your case and the timeline for the next steps.
Our Minnesota roots and familiarity with North Oaks riding conditions help us evaluate trail factors, signage, grooming, and seasonal issues that can influence liability. We coordinate with providers to ensure accurate records and help you navigate billing, med‑pay, and health insurance. When multiple policies or parties are involved, we organize the moving parts so your claim remains on track. We are committed to presenting your case clearly and persuasively, backed by evidence and careful analysis.
We offer free consultations and represent injury clients on a contingency fee, meaning you pay no attorney fee unless we recover compensation. You remain in control of major decisions, including settlement and litigation, and we provide practical advice to help you weigh risk and reward. If litigation becomes necessary, your case will be ready with preserved evidence, organized records, and a strategy aligned with your goals. Our purpose is simple: guide you through a difficult time with steady, effective representation.
We start by listening to your story, reviewing coverage, and outlining a plan designed around your health and goals. Next, we gather medical records, bills, wage information, and evidence from the scene, preserving your machine and gear where appropriate. We identify all responsible parties and insurance policies and manage communications so nothing important is missed. Once your treatment stabilizes, we prepare a detailed demand supported by records and evidence. If settlement talks are productive, we work to resolve your claim efficiently. If not, we discuss litigation, including timelines, costs, and strategy, and proceed in a way that protects your rights.
Your first meeting focuses on safety, medical care, and immediate next steps. We review available insurance, including recreational vehicle policies, homeowners coverage, med‑pay, and health insurance. We identify urgent evidence, such as scene photos, ride data, and witness information, and we discuss preserving your machine and gear for inspection. We also explain how to handle insurer calls and forms, and we contact carriers when appropriate to open claims and prevent delays. The goal is to stabilize the situation, protect your rights, and lay the groundwork for a clear, organized claim.
We collect a detailed account of what happened, including weather, visibility, surface conditions, and the path of travel. We obtain policy documents, claim numbers, and coverage limits so we know where benefits may be available. We also identify potential witnesses and entities with maintenance or grooming records. This early fact‑gathering sets the stage for accurate liability analysis and helps us avoid missed coverage or late notices that could complicate your claim. With a clear picture of the incident and the insurance landscape, we build a plan that makes sense for your needs.
Evidence can vanish quickly on trails and ice. We help secure the machine, helmet, and damaged gear, and we collect photos or video that show the scene as close to the time of the incident as possible. We coordinate with your providers to ensure accurate, timely medical records that reflect symptoms, diagnoses, and work restrictions. Keeping this information organized pays dividends later, supporting negotiations and, if necessary, litigation. Our focus is to capture the facts now, while they are still available, so your case remains strong throughout the process.
As treatment progresses, we compile medical records, bills, wage loss documentation, and proof of damaged equipment. We analyze liability, consult with appropriate professionals when needed, and assemble a demand package that tells your story clearly. We engage insurers with a fact‑driven presentation and negotiate from a position of preparation. Throughout, we advise you on offers, risks, and timing so you can choose the path that best fits your goals. If a fair settlement is achievable, we finalize terms, confirm lien resolutions, and prepare closing documents designed to protect your interests.
We track diagnoses, treatment milestones, and future care recommendations, assembling a complete record of your injuries. We also document wage loss, reduced hours, and missed opportunities, supported by employer statements and financial records. Pain, limitations, and activity changes are captured through consistent notes and provider entries. Proof of damaged equipment and replacement costs rounds out the economic picture. This documentation makes your claim tangible and credible, supporting negotiations with insurers who require thorough proof before agreeing to pay fair value.
We organize photos, witness accounts, and any inspection findings to demonstrate how and why the incident occurred. We address potential defenses and comparative fault proactively, presenting a balanced, evidence‑based narrative. Our settlement demand outlines liability, medical care, wage loss, and other damages, supported by records and receipts. We then negotiate with insurers, seeking a resolution that reflects the full impact of your injuries. If offers do not match the strength of the evidence, we discuss litigation options and the strategy for moving forward.
If a fair settlement is reached, we confirm terms in writing, address liens and subrogation, and review the release with you before signing. We aim for a smooth closing that protects your net recovery and avoids post‑settlement issues. If litigation is the better path, we file suit within applicable deadlines and prepare your case for the next phase, including discovery and, if appropriate, trial. Throughout, we explain each step and help you weigh options so every decision aligns with your goals. Our focus is a resolution that respects your health, time, and future.
We prepare you for settlement discussions by reviewing the strengths and risks of your case and establishing clear goals. When agreement is reached, we confirm payment details, timelines, and responsibilities for liens. We review the release carefully to ensure it matches the negotiated terms and does not overreach. We also coordinate final provider statements and obtain lien reductions where possible. Our aim is to conclude the matter cleanly, with no loose ends or surprises after funds are issued, so you can move forward with confidence.
If litigation is necessary, we file your case and move promptly to preserve momentum. We prepare pleadings, exchange discovery, and schedule depositions, keeping you informed throughout. We collaborate with the right professionals to explain technical issues, such as vehicle dynamics or medical causation, in a clear, understandable way. Settlement remains possible at many points, but if trial becomes the best option, we present your story with organization and care. From the first filing to the final verdict or agreement, our focus is steady advocacy aligned with your goals.
Start with safety and medical care. Call 911 if needed, and move to a safe area. If possible, photograph the scene, machine, helmet, tracks, signage, and surface conditions from multiple angles. Exchange contact and insurance information and gather names and numbers of witnesses. Preserve the machine and damaged gear without repairs. Avoid posting about the incident online. Seek prompt medical evaluation, even if symptoms seem minor, and follow recommendations for imaging or follow‑up. Notify applicable insurers promptly but keep statements brief and factual. Do not speculate about fault. If forms or broad releases arrive, review them carefully before signing. Track medical bills and out‑of‑pocket costs, and keep a simple log of symptoms and missed activities. Call Metro Law Offices at 651-615-3322 for a free consultation. We can help secure evidence, manage communications, and outline a plan that protects your claim while you focus on recovery.
Minnesota no‑fault (PIP) generally applies to motor vehicles used on public roads, and many off‑road vehicles are not covered in the same way. However, other policies often help, including recreational vehicle insurance with medical payments coverage, homeowners or renters insurance for certain liability scenarios, and health insurance for ongoing treatment. Determining which policies apply depends on where and how the crash occurred and the vehicles involved. We review all potential coverage sources, confirm claim procedures, and help route bills correctly to reduce collections pressure. Med‑pay can provide early help regardless of fault, subject to limits. Health insurance can then address ongoing care, with reimbursement rights to consider at settlement. Liability coverage from at‑fault parties may compensate for broader losses. A quick coverage review can prevent missed benefits and help you make informed choices from the start.
Deadlines vary based on the type of claim, the parties involved, and where the incident occurred. Different timelines may apply to claims against individuals, property owners, manufacturers, or public entities, and specific notice requirements can arise with governmental bodies. Waiting can also make proof harder to obtain because trail conditions change and equipment may be altered or lost. Because the correct deadline depends on the facts, the safest approach is to contact a law firm promptly to evaluate your situation. We will identify potential deadlines, preserve key evidence, and initiate claims with the appropriate insurers. Early action helps protect your rights, keeps options open, and strengthens your position in negotiations. If litigation becomes necessary, timely filing is essential to maintain your ability to pursue compensation.
Compensation in an off‑road injury case may include medical expenses, future treatment needs, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, and damage to equipment and gear. Non‑economic losses, such as pain, limitations, and the impact on your ability to participate in activities you enjoy, may also be considered. The available insurance, evidence of liability, and thorough medical documentation all influence the value of a claim. We build a detailed record that connects your injuries to the incident, shows how life has changed, and substantiates every dollar requested. We also address liens and subrogation to protect your net recovery. With a clear, evidence‑based presentation, we seek a resolution that reflects both current needs and the challenges you may face going forward, whether that resolution comes through settlement or, if appropriate, litigation.
Minnesota follows a comparative fault system, which means your compensation can be reduced by your share of responsibility. In some situations, being too far at fault can bar recovery entirely. Because off‑road incidents unfold quickly and conditions change, documentation is vital to show what each person did and how those actions contributed to the crash. We focus on evidence that clarifies responsibility: photos, witness statements, machine inspections, and maintenance or grooming records. With a careful analysis, we present a fair allocation of fault supported by facts. Even if you believe you share some responsibility, speak with us before making conclusions. A thorough review may reveal additional factors that meaningfully change how fault is assessed.
Potentially responsible parties can include other riders, property owners or managers, event organizers, rental companies, and manufacturers or distributors of vehicles and gear. Liability may arise from careless operation, unsafe property conditions, poor trail maintenance, inadequate warnings, or defective components. Identifying all responsible parties is important for both accountability and insurance coverage. We investigate scene conditions, signage, and maintenance practices, and we preserve machines and equipment for inspection. We also examine contracts, waivers, and rental paperwork when relevant. By mapping how each party’s actions contributed to the incident, we aim to access all applicable insurance and build a strong, fact‑based case for compensation.
Insurers for other parties often request recorded statements early. While cooperation may be required with your own insurer, you typically have no obligation to speak with an opposing carrier without counsel. Early statements can be incomplete, especially before injuries are fully evaluated or evidence is gathered, and may be used to challenge your claim later. We recommend consulting with a law firm before giving recorded statements or signing releases. We can handle communications, provide accurate information, and ensure your rights are protected while the facts are developed. If a statement is appropriate, we will prepare with you and attend, keeping the discussion focused on clear, documented facts rather than speculation.
Medical bills are typically handled through a combination of med‑pay, health insurance, and eventual liability recovery. We help route bills correctly, confirm claim numbers with providers, and track balances to minimize collections activity. Accurate coordination reduces stress and prevents duplicate payments that can complicate settlement. At the end of the case, some insurers may assert reimbursement rights. We address these claims early, verify their validity, and negotiate reductions where permitted by law. Our goal is to maximize your net recovery by resolving liens and subrogation efficiently while ensuring providers are paid and your credit remains protected.
Trail incidents can involve clubs or local governments that perform grooming or maintenance. These cases may involve special procedures or notice requirements, and evaluating liability often requires reviewing maintenance logs, signage, and the timing of grooming relative to the crash. Immunity issues can arise and must be analyzed under Minnesota law. We move quickly to preserve records and scene evidence before conditions change. We then assess whether the facts support a claim and identify all other potential parties and coverages. If a public entity is involved, we explain any additional steps required and ensure deadlines are met so your rights remain protected throughout the process.
Metro Law Offices offers free consultations for off‑road injury cases. If we take your case, we work on a contingency fee, which means you pay no attorney fee unless we recover compensation for you. We will explain the fee agreement in plain language and answer any questions before you decide how to proceed. There are costs associated with building a claim, such as records, reports, or inspections. We discuss potential costs in advance and outline how they are handled. Transparency is important to us, and you will know what to expect throughout the process. Call 651-615-3322 to discuss your case and learn how we can help.
