JD Haas Personal Blog

I am licensed in most states in the upper Midwest.  The focus of my practice is serious injury cases primarily as a result of motor vehicle collisions.  I currently have referral and association relationships with a number of attorneys in many states.

If you are interested in establishing a referral relationship and/or an association relationship with me, and agree that we will strictly observe the laws of professional responsibility in each state, I would love to hear from you.

Please call me at (612) 729-4884 or send me an e-mail at jdh@jdhaas.com so that we can discuss referral and association opportunities.  Thank you.

When someone’s carelessness causes another person to suffer a catastrophic injury such as the amputation injury or an arm or leg, the victim of this carelessness will face huge medical bills, rehabilitation costs, prosthetic device costs, and lost work.  If the injured person had a physically demanding job, they might not be able to return to that line of work.

If the person who caused the injury has insurance, the insurance company decides how much they are willing to pay to settle the case.  An injured person must have someone on their side who can communicate the enormity of the case to the insurance company.  If the insurance company is not willing to pay an adequate amount for the injury suffered; then the only option for the victim is to start a lawsuit.  At that point, the victim needs someone on their side who has tried catastrophic injury cases to a jury.  I am an experienced trial lawyer, and I have experience in negotiating with insurance companies in catastrophic injury cases, and if they do not offer enough money in settlement negotiations, I am experienced in trying the case to a jury.  I have tried catastrophic injury cases to juries in Iowa and Minnesota.

If someone is not careful when operating a heavy motor vehicle, they can cause a collision.  Motor vehicle collisions are one of the leading causes of amputation injuries in the United States.  The force applied to the human body during a motor vehicle collision, or other traumatic event, can sometimes be so great that parts of the body are separated from the body.  The victim then faces massive medical bills, rehabilitation costs, prosthetic device costs, and lost work.

If the person who caused the injury has insurance, the insurance company determines how much they are willing to pay to settle the injured person’s claim.  If the insurance company is not willing to pay an adequate amount for the injury suffered; then the only option for the victim is to start a lawsuit.  I am an experienced trial lawyer, and I have represented victims of catastrophic injuries.  I have tried catastrophic injury cases to juries in Iowa and Minnesota in addition to settling a number of catastrophic injury cases.

Pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists, and motor vehicle occupants who are involved in a collision with another vehicle can have massive amounts of force applied to their bodies.  This force can be so powerful that it can tear off parts of the victim’s body.  The victim faces huge medical bills, rehabilitation costs, prosthetic device costs, work loss, and retraining costs.

I am an experienced trial lawyer, and in my career I have had the opportunity of representing families who have had family members be the victims of catastrophic injuries.  I have tried catastrophic injury cases to juries in Iowa and Minnesota in addition to resolving catastrophic injury cases through settlement in other states.

Pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists, and motor vehicle occupants who are involved in a collision with another vehicle can have massive amounts of force applied to their bodies.  If there is a large weight difference between vehicles that collide, that force is magnified.  If a high speed collision occurs between a heavy vehicle and the human body, the forces can be great enough to tear off parts of the victim’s body.  The medical bills, rehabilitation costs, prosthetic device costs, and loss work can be staggering.

To safely operate a motor vehicle, a driver must have concentration and good judgment of speed and distance.  When a drunk driver is under the influence of alcohol, or drugs, he or she no longer possesses these necessary skills.  When a driver does not have these skills, they can kill or injure people who come into contact with them.  If you, or someone you know, have been injured by a drunk driver, you need an experienced trial lawyer to negotiate with the insurance company and to explain the severity of your injuries to them.  If the insurance company is not willing to make a fair settlement, you need an experienced trial lawyer to explain your injuries to a jury.

For many years, I have represented the families of people who have suffered serious injuries in car accidents, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, school bus accidents, and truck accidents.  Drunk drivers caused many of these accidents.  I have represented families in California, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin in serious accident cases.  I would be happy to meet you, at a place most convenient for you, to discuss your legal rights, and my qualifications to represent you in your drunk driving accident case.

Our society has gotten more fast-paced than ever.  One of the results is that drivers attempt to accomplish tasks while at the same time driving their motor vehicles.  Driver inattention is a leading cause of car accidents that can cause life-long effects for the injured person.

Car accidents cause thousands of deaths and severe injuries in the United States each year.  If you, or someone you know, have been severely injured in a car accident, you need an experienced car accident lawyer to protect your rights.  Insurance companies hire capable lawyers to represent their interests.  You need to have someone who is equally experienced to represent your interests.

I have more than 20 years of experience in negotiating settlements in car accident cases.  In those cases in which settlement negotiations have failed, I have tried more than 41 car accident cases to juries in several states.  These cases have included wrongful death cases and significant injury cases.

I have represented families in California, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin in serious car accident cases.  I would love to meet you, at a place most convenient for you, to discuss your legal rights, and my qualifications to represent you in your car accident injury case.
