Drunk Driving Accidents
In 2006 alone, 166 people died in Minnesota and more than 3,500 were injured in alcohol-related crashes. Historically, accidents involving alcohol cause more serious injuries: Recent figures show that 13 percent of moderate injuries and almost 25 percent of severe injuries from automobile accidents in Minnesota were the result of an alcohol-related crash.
Under Minnesota law, survivors of victims killed in a drunk driving accident may be eligible to pursue a wrongful death action and seek punitive damages against the drunk driver or the bar or store that sold the alcoholic beverages. In the event of an alcohol-related injury or fatality accident, you may be eligible to receive compensation to cover the cost of automobile repairs or any loss of personal property, medical expenses, lost current and future wages, pain and suffering, and any permanent or disfiguring injuries or death.
At Faris & Faris Law Office, we have a unique personal understanding of the impact a drunk driving-related accident can have on an injured person or the family of someone killed by a drunk driver. We can evaluate your case and determine what legal action and benefits may be available.

Dog/Animal Bites
Almost everyone loves pets, especially dogs. But did you know that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that bites by dogs and other pets account for more emergency room visits than playground injuries, bikes, mopeds, ATVs, inline skating and skateboard injuries combined?
If you’ve been bitten by a dog or other pet, Faris & Faris Law Office can help you file a claim against the pet owner’s insurance and determine whether there are local or regional laws that define precautions a pet owner is required to take to protect others. We’ll work with you to investigate the facts and pursue any appropriate action.
