A Red Wing Minnesota boating injury case was settled for $300,000. The case involved a single boat incident on the Mississippi River where the boat operator encountered large waves without properly reducing speed. A passenger was flipped into the air repeatedly as the boat encountered several waves.
The passenger sustained injuries to his low back and brought a claim against the boat operator. He was represented by Minnesota Boat Injury Attorneys at the Schmidt Salita Law Team.
The Schmidt Salita Law Team has successfully handled both personal injury and wrongful death cases resulting from boating accidents.
Douglas Schmidt was able to bring justice to the family of a Bloomington Minnesota boy that was killed in a boating collision on Lake Minnetonka when a large powerboat collided with the small fishing boat occupied by a Bloomington, Minnesota father and son.
Schmidt successfully settled the personal injury case of a Red Wing, Minnesota man who was injured while riding as a passenger in a powerboat on the Mississippi when he was tossed as the result of excessive speed as the boat encountered large “roller waves” left by a larger cruise boat. The victim sustained a compression fracture of his low back. The case was settled for $3000,000.00.
Another successful result by Schmidt was the settlement of an injury claim for a woman who was injured on Lake Mary in a 2 boat collision. The boat in which she was a passenger was struck at a high rate of speed by a ski boat whose driver failed to maintain proper lookout and control of the ski boat.
