Swor & Gatto

Roseville Personal Injury Lawyer

Nearly 100 Years of Combined Legal Experience

Hire a tough, smart lawyer for your personal injury case in Roseville

A serious injury can upend your life in a matter of seconds. In Roseville — where major thoroughfares like Highway 36, Snelling Avenue, and Lexington Avenue intersect with busy shopping centers and residential neighborhoods — accidents happen more often than people think. Whether you were injured in a crash near Rosedale Center or slipped at a local business off County Road B, getting the right legal help is essential.

We have years of experience representing injured clients in Roseville and across Ramsey County. Our firm understands the local courts, communities, and insurance tactics — and we’ll fight to get you the compensation you deserve so you can focus on healing.

Let us help you with your personal injury claim

Car accidents

Highways 36 and 35W are major corridors with frequent traffic congestion and crashes. Whether your accident happened near the Har Mar Mall or at a busy intersection like Snelling and County Road C, we’ll work to hold negligent drivers accountable.

Slip and fall injuries

Retailers, restaurants, and apartment buildings throughout Roseville are responsible for keeping their premises safe. We help clients injured due to icy sidewalks, slick store floors, broken railings, or poor lighting — hazards that often go unaddressed during Minnesota’s long winters.

Pedestrian and bicycle accidents

With access to places like the Reservoir Woods Trail and Central Park, Roseville sees significant foot and bike traffic. Unfortunately, inattentive drivers can turn these routes into danger zones. We represent individuals hit while using crosswalks, sidewalks, or bike lanes.

Dog bites

Dog bites can lead to serious physical and emotional trauma. Minnesota law holds dog owners strictly liable for bites — meaning they’re responsible even if the dog had no history of aggression. If you or your child was bitten, we’re here to help.

Wrongful death

If you’ve lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligence — whether from a car crash or another preventable incident — we offer compassionate, strategic support to help your family pursue justice and financial recovery.

Must know info for Roseville personal injury cases

Statute of limitations

In most personal injury cases, Minnesota gives you two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. If you miss this deadline, you may lose the right to seek compensation altogether. Acting quickly also helps preserve evidence and witness statements that could strengthen your case.

Comparative fault

Minnesota uses a modified comparative fault rule. This means you can still recover damages if you were less than 51% at fault for the accident — though your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you’re found 30% responsible, your award will be reduced by 30%.

Local legal process

Most injury cases in Roseville fall under Ramsey County District Court, which handles a high volume of civil litigation. Having an attorney who knows how to navigate the local court system can help ensure your case moves efficiently and gets the attention it deserves.

What to do if you’ve been injured in Roseville

Get medical attention

After any accident, your first priority should be your health. Even if injuries seem minor, they can worsen over time. Visit a nearby facility such as M Health Fairview Rosedale Clinic or Regions Hospital to get checked out. Medical documentation will also be important for your legal case.

Document and report the incident

Take photos of the accident scene, any visible injuries, and the conditions that contributed to the incident. If others witnessed what happened, get their contact information. Be sure to report the incident — whether to police, a property manager, or business staff — so there’s an official record.

Avoid speaking to insurance adjusters without counsel

Insurance companies may try to get a recorded statement or push a quick settlement before you know the full extent of your injuries. Politely decline to speak in detail and let them know your attorney will follow up.

Call a personal injury attorney

The sooner you involve a lawyer, the better your chances of a successful outcome. An experienced personal injury attorney will help you understand your rights, gather evidence, handle communication with insurers, and fight for full compensation on your behalf.

How to choose the best personal injury lawyer in Roseville

Relevant experience

Find a lawyer who has handled cases like yours and can show a track record of results — whether in car accidents, premises liability, or serious injury claims. Their familiarity with Minnesota law and personal injury procedure matters.

Knowledge of Roseville and Ramsey County

A lawyer who understands local roads, courts, and accident patterns in Roseville will be better equipped to represent you effectively. Local insight can lead to stronger case strategy and better negotiations with insurers.

No upfront fees

Choose a lawyer who works on a contingency fee basis — meaning you don’t pay anything unless they recover money for you. This ensures your interests are aligned and removes financial barriers to getting quality legal help.

Clear and caring communication

You deserve a lawyer who treats your case like it matters — because it does. Look for a firm that answers your questions promptly, keeps you informed, and listens to your concerns throughout the process.

Roseville Personal Injury FAQs

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Minnesota?
In most cases, you must file your claim within two years of the date of the injury. However, some exceptions may apply, so it’s best to speak with an attorney right away.
What compensation can I recover in a personal injury case?
Depending on the circumstances, you may be entitled to damages for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and future medical care or disability.

Yes. As long as you’re less than 51% at fault, you can still recover compensation. Your award will be reduced based on your percentage of fault.
