35 W Bridge Collapse

MINNEAPOLIS, MN -August 20, 2007- In the days since the tragic collapse of the 35W Bridge over the Mississippi River in Minneapolis the law firm of Schwebel, Goetz & Sieben was hired by family members of those who died as well as by individuals who had suffered various serious injuries.  The law firm immediately assembled a team of lawyers and staff to assist the victims in securing payment of medical bills, funeral expenses and lost wages.  Within days, contacts were established with numerous no-fault carriers, the American Red Cross and the Minneapolis Foundation.  Simultaneously a team of the nation’s leading experts in structural engineering and failure analysis following bridge collapses was assembled.  A Petition was filed in United States District Court in St. Paul to allow the experts access to the site in conjunction with their impartial investigation of the causes of this tragedy.  The law firm is committed to working with the Minnesota legislature with the hope that the losses suffered by the many victims will be included in the Special Session Transportation Bill.  We are proud of the efforts that our law firm is expending on behalf of the victims of this tragedy.  We are their advocates, and will pursue whatever paths are necessary to assist them at this time of their terrible losses.
