Attorney Doug Schmidt of the Schmidt Salita Law Team has established himself as a top Anoka Injury Lawyer. Schmidt is AV rated, 5 star rated with 40 years experience in personal injury and wrongful death cases. Schmidt is a member of the Schmidt Salita Law Team, which is an AV Rated law firm located in close proximity to Anoka.
Schmidt successfully represented the victims of toxic chemical injuries to the lungs of hockey players and coaches at the Jay Cooke Ice Arena. He successfully represented 33 victims. He took the first 5 cases to trial and won jury verdicts for the 5 clients. The successful jury verdicts then led to successful settlements for the remaining 28 victims. The results have gone down as a historic victory in the annals of Minnesota law.
Schmidt also scored another Anoka victory. He successfully tried what is believed to be Minnesota’s first Underinsured Motorist Insurance claim to an Anoka jury, with another successful result. All Minnesota Automobile Insurance Companies had previously required that claims for UM insurance benefits be made through arbitration. In the mid 1980’s, insurance companies writing policies in Minnesota decided that they didn’t like the arbitration clause. They eliminated the arbitration provision from their No Fault Insurance policies and required policy holder to seek justice in state courts.
Douglas Schmidt of the Schmidt Salita Law Team was the plaintiff’s lawyer. Schmidt has been recognized as perhaps the most experienced Minnesota lawyer in No Fault claims. The case was tried to a jury. The jury returned a verdict in favor of the policy holder in the amount of $48,000.00 plus court costs and interests.
Interestingly, Douglas Schmidt most recently won a very favorable verdict against American Family Insurance in a No Fault case in Hennepin County. That case was tried to a jury that returned a verdict of $91,861.95.
The Schmidt Salita Law Team is very experienced in handling both No Fault and At Fault claims arising from Minnesota car accidents.
Schmidt has also successfully settled two wrongful death claims for Anoka County residents. One involved a swimming pool death case for the death of a young girl in a local school swimming pool. Another involved a wrongful death claim where emergency responders were found to have been negligent in failing to revive a man suffering respiratory difficulty. This case was settled during trial before an Anoka County jury.
Schmidt has also successfully settled a major medical malpractice claim for an Anoka County resident who suffered cauda equina injuries that the medical doctors overlooked.
Schmidt’s track record as a successful personal injury trial lawyer goes back many years. His track record of success speaks for itself.
