Understanding Minnesota’s No-Fault System

Minnesota is a no-fault state, meaning your own auto insurance covers your basic medical and wage loss expenses — regardless of fault. But if your injuries are serious, permanent, or involve significant medical costs, you may be eligible to pursue a personal injury claim against the at-fault driver.

McEwen Law Firm will review your case for free and help determine if you qualify to step outside the no-fault system to seek additional compensation.

Time is Critical – Don’t Wait

Minnesota law limits the time you have to file a car accident claim:

No-fault benefits: Typically within 6 months
Personal injury lawsuits: Within 6 years

Electrical Burn Accidents

What are Electrical Burns?

Electrical burn injuries may occur to anyone at any time. Electrical burns are caused by exposure to high voltages of electricity. Electrical burn injuries may be minor, or they may cause severe, life-threatening, injuries.

Typically those who work in the electrical industry (electricians, etc.) are at the most risk of suffering electrical burns. There are also many sources of electrical burns including household wiring, outlets, batteries, and more. The source of the burn, the strength of the current, and other circumstances affect the severity of the electrical burn.

Electrical burns may appear on the skin’s surface as other burns appear and damage top skin layers or deeper tissue layers. Unlike other burns, electrical burn injuries may reach internal organs and tissues. These injuries are typically severe and life-threatening.

What Complications are Involved with Electrical Burns?

Electrical burn injuries may also be complicated if the victim fell after suffering an electrical shock, went into cardiac arrest after suffering an electrical shock, or if other circumstantial injury occurred.

If you or a loved one has suffered an electrical burn accident or other burn accident, contact McEwen Law Firm today. Our attorneys understand the life-altering affect electrical burns have on victims and their family and are dedicated to providing compensation to victims and their families.

What Causes Chemical Burns?

Chemical burns may occur during the fabrication of products or medications, during repairs, or as a result of a spill or other accident when using the product. Treatment for these burns varies depending on their severity and the chemicals used. Typically less severe burns are flushed immediately while more severe burns may require surgery or other treatment.

McEwen Law Firm understands how challenging chemical burn injuries are. Our lawyers are dedicated to providing victims and their families with the support, experience, and knowledge necessary to not only win burn injury cases but also recuperate after chemical burn injuries.

What is the Definition of Chemical Burns?

Chemical burn accidents are typically very serious, damaging, burns. As with other burns, chemical burns are classified in first, second, and third degree burn categories. Chemical burns are usually severe and result in a great amount of damage to the skin tissue.

Chemical burn injuries most commonly occur in workplace settings, but may also occur as a result of home accidents or while in other settings. Burn injuries may result after coming into contact with a variety of products. These products typically include industrial chemicals such as acids, strong alkali, silver nitrate, lye, and lime. Household products including some cleaning products, drain products, and fertilizers may also cause chemical burns.

Propane Gas Explosion Burns

Propane Gas Definition

Propane gas is used for many purposes each day. Propane is commonly used in homes for heating and cooking purposes. While propane is typically stable, faulty equipment can cause propane leaks which result in gas explosions.

Propane leaks may occur throughout the household as well as the backyard in grill areas. When propane is exposed to sparks, heat, or other flammable circumstance explosions occur. Propane gas explosions can severely burn victims in close proximity to the explosion. Gas explosions also spark fires which may also cause severe burn injuries.

Leaks begin to occur for a number of reasons. Faulty equipment, holes, poor installation are common causes of propane leaks. Leaks also occur in defective tanks, hoses, and other materials. Propane leaks may be present for weeks without any indication of a problem due to the usual stable condition of the gas.

If your family has recently experienced a propane explosion due to defective equipment contact McEwen Law Firm today. Our attorneys realize how physically and emotionally damaging propane explosions can be to victims and their families. McEwen Law Firm lawyers are dedicated to providing propane gas explosion victims with the compensation they deserve after suffering burn injuries.
