Our client was hired to assist in a salvage cleanup after a train derailment. One of the boxcars was full of plywood, which our client was instructed to remove. The stacks fell and hit him in the head, resulting in a neck fracture. We successfully maintained the plywood was improperly loaded and stacked, creating a dangerous situation for those removing the plywood.

On a clear summer evening, two boats were on a parallel course, both moving very fast. A jet boat testing its speed passed a fishing boat and made a U-turn so it was on course for a head-on collision. At the last moment, both boat operators attempted to avoid a collision but it was too late. The fishing boat flew into the air, did a barrel roll and landed upside down. Three people lost their lives and others were seriously injured. Jim Carey represented one of the injury victims as well as the family of one of the deceased passengers.

Our client, on her way to a dental appointment, traveled through an intersection on a green light when suddenly another driver made a left-hand turn in front of her. The two vehicles collided and our client's vehicle was spun around by the force of the impact.

Our clients' 18-year-old son was leaning on the driver's side door of his 20-year-old friend's pick-up truck outside a bar where they had been drinking. The 18 year old was trying to convince his friend not to drive because he was drunk. However, the friend drove ahead, knocked down the 18-year-old and ran over his head, causing fatal injuries.

After visiting his cousin in Minneapolis, our client was on his way home. Meanwhile, the defendant jumped in his car after being served excessive alcohol at a bar. He later admitted he had no recollection of leaving the bar. He entered I-35 and reached speeds over 100 mph when he hit our client. Not only was the defendant drunk, he was uninsured. We settled the case for the dram shop policy limits from the bar that had been serving the defendant driver.

Our client, a 25 year old mother, underwent left L4-L5 and L5-S1 microdiscectomies recommended by her neurosurgeon. As she was recovering from the anesthetic, the nursing staff determined that she could not move her left foot. Her neurosurgeon had already left town for the weekend, so the on-call neurosurgeon performed an exam which revealed that she had left foot drop and left L5 weakness, numbness and paresthesias. A MRI revealed a fluid collection within the L4-L5 epidural space and extending into the laminectomy bed  which was severely compressing the nerve roots. The on-call neurosurgeon performed an emergency "re-do" of the microdiscectomies and discovered that the original neurosurgeon had placed fat in the laminectomy site to prevent scar formation.

Our client left her daughter with a trusted daycare provider. While in the facility, one of the providers touched our client inappropriately. Jeffrey Montpetit pursued the daycare provider and the assailant, successfully obtaining a $1,000,000 judgment against them both.
