SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: LAW TIGERS OF MINNESOTA

When you're a passionate motorcyclist, the thrill of the open road is unbeatable, but accidents can happen, and that's where Law Tigers of Minnesota comes in. As dedicated motorcycle injury lawyers, they fight on behalf of Minnesota riders to ensure they get the compensation they deserve after a motorcycle accident.

What makes Law Tigers stand out is their personal connection to the Minnesota motorcycle community. Marketing Manager Tanner Seymour and attorney Jeremy Lampman are lifelong Minnesotans who have been riding motorcycles since their childhoods. They know the roads, the events, and the unique challenges riders in Minnesota face because they live it every day. As Tanner puts it, "We ride the same roads, attend the same events, and experience the same culture as the riders we fight to protect." This shared experience makes them not just attorneys, but true advocates for local bikers.

At the core of Law Tigers of Minnesota are the people who are driven by passion and commitment. Tanner leads the marketing efforts, while attorney Jeremy Lampman brings his legal expertise and dedication to helping injured riders. Together, they work with a team of ambassadors who help connect Minnesota riders with the legal assistance they need. The entire team is united by one goal: ensuring that anyone hurt in a motorcycle accident gets the professional and compassionate help they deserve.

Motorcycle riding is exhilarating, but it also comes with risks, especially with Minnesota's high deer population and increasingly distracted drivers on the road. Law Tigers understands the dangers local riders face and works tirelessly to provide a safety net. They offer expert legal services that focus on local motorcycle laws and are backed by a network of nationwide attorneys, repair shops, and appraisers. Their mission is simple: to help Minnesota motorcyclists get the maximum compensation for their injuries and bike repairs, so they can focus on recovery.

The future is exciting for Law Tigers of Minnesota. They are committed to supporting local businesses, organizations, and events that celebrate the riding community and advocate for improved laws and rider safety. From sponsoring safety schools to collaborating with local experts, Law Tigers continues to show up for Minnesota riders and MN D23 ARMCA couldn’t be more thrilled to have Law Tigers as a district sponsor for the 2024 season!

One of the many reasons to trust Law Tigers is their proven track record. Right now, they are involved in over 50 cases, and they've recently secured a one-million-dollar settlement for a Minnesota rider who was injured by a distracted driver. And here's the best part: they only get paid when their clients do! This dedication to their clients' success speaks volumes about their commitment to justice.
