Introduction

Heimerl & Lammers has practiced personal injury law in Minnesota for over two decades, operating from offices in Minnetonka, Bloomington, and Minneapolis. The firm handles car accidents, slip and fall cases, and truck accidents, with particular depth in how Minnesota’s no-fault insurance system affects injury claims and what thresholds must be met before a claimant can recover from an at-fault driver. Representation is available on a contingency fee basis, with attorneys and staff responding to client communications around the clock.

Practice Areas

Heimerl & Lammers focuses on three categories of personal injury claims, all of which intersect with Minnesota’s specific insurance and liability framework.

Car Accidents

Car accident cases in Minnesota begin within the no-fault insurance system, which provides initial benefits regardless of fault. Under Minnesota’s no-fault structure, injured parties are entitled to up to $20,000 in medical expense coverage, with wage loss benefits capped at $250 per week. When damages exceed the $4,000 threshold, the injured party may step outside the no-fault system and pursue a claim directly against the at-fault driver for additional compensation.

The firm handles injuries across a wide spectrum of severity: whiplash and soft tissue injuries, traumatic brain injuries, spinal damage, amputations, and other catastrophic harm. Uninsured motorist claims: where the at-fault driver lacked insurance: and wrongful death cases are also within the firm’s scope.

Truck Accidents

Large truck accident cases typically involve higher damages due to the severity of injuries that commercial vehicle collisions produce, and greater legal complexity because of federal motor carrier regulations, multiple potentially liable parties (driver, carrier, cargo loader), and commercial insurance companies with experienced defense teams.

Slip and Fall

Premises liability cases involving slip and fall accidents fall under Minnesota’s statute of limitations for these claims, which ranges from two to six years depending on the circumstances of the case. The firm evaluates liability based on the property owner’s or occupier’s duty to maintain safe conditions and whether a breach of that duty caused the injury.

Client Focus

Minnesota’s no-fault insurance system creates a specific educational gap for many injury victims: they often do not understand what their initial no-fault benefits cover, where the limits are, and when they become eligible to pursue an at-fault claim. The $4,000 threshold for stepping outside no-fault and the $250 per week wage loss cap are consequential figures that affect how injury cases are valued and pursued. Heimerl & Lammers’s focus on Minnesota-specific insurance law reflects the practical reality that navigating these rules is essential to recovering full compensation.

The firm’s communication model: responding to emails and texts around the clock: acknowledges that injured clients often have urgent questions outside business hours, particularly in the days immediately following an accident. Insurance companies begin building their files quickly after accidents, and injured parties benefit from legal guidance during that same period.

The contingency fee arrangement means the firm bears the financial risk of litigation. Clients owe nothing unless the firm obtains a recovery.
