Slip and fall on iced parking lot

My husband asked me to go for breakfast at a local restaurant. We pulled in and parked, as I open truck door I noticed looked slippery but wet (black ice). I carefully got out and down I went tried getting back up and slipped again. I reported that parking lot was very bad and it needs attention, we ...then ate, paid bill and asked if they got somebody to sand/ salt, as of yet parking lot got no attention, except by the entry doors which had been salted and that was all. I was feeling a bit sore, I'm trying to eat, realized my arm was sore, got home approx. 1/2 hr later I realized I lost mobility and strength in right arm/shoulder. I then went to ER. I had xray done, showed nothing broke, arm in a sling, I was taken off work til follow up with orthopedic which ordered MRI and results were full and partial tear in rotator cuff. This left me with no work, no income. I scheduled surgery asap, so I could get back to work. Recovery was painful, the stress of not working, loss of income, etc. 31/2 months I'm now going back to work. I contacted their insurance to let them know I'm returning to work in which I was told they dont even know if there gonna pay anything. I'm stressed enough and didnt have time to deal with that, due to fact I'm going back to work. I then decided to call Mingo & Yankala. Mark Mingo and his secretary Kim Kempfer were awesome. The both kept in contact with me thru phone or email. Mark Mingo was very good at explaining and finding information needed. He made it a very comfortable atmosphere, explained things thoroughly. In the few times we had met I felt I knew him before this, which I didnt, but he knew more about me than I knew myself. Mark and his assistant Kim Kempfer were kind, caring, and concerned how I was doing. I was very pleased with the outcome. We were able to settle without going to court, but if it would of we were ready. I'm amazed how things work and comes together. I can move on, I'm happy with the turnout and I will refer Mark Mingo to anyone. Thank you Mark and Kim for everything.

Excellent Lawyer

I hired Attorney Mark Mingo to represent me in a motor vehicle case. Throughout the entirety of my case, Attorney Mingo was excellent in maintaining communication in regards to updates and steps to expect. His professionalism and his wealth of knowledge brought me comfort since I knew that he had t...he experience and skill to represent me every step of the way.

Professional, knowledgeable, prepared

Mark has represented my husband and I for several years. Our cases were not typical, and required vast amounts of research and discovery. Mark was always prepared, never intimidated and represented us well. We got great results. I am forever grateful that he handled our case(s).

Was Fortunate To Find Mark Mingo

I sustained an disabling injury while staying at a Wisconsin hotel. I wasn't considering a legal remedy. Instead, I was trying to represent myself with the insurance company. Mistake! It became clear that I was in over my head, because all I was getting from the insurance adjusters was delay, diversi...on of blame onto others and frustration. In searching for a personal injury attorney on the Internet, I found Mark Mingo whose firm is in Milwaukee. I got very lucky! I highly recommend Mark to you. He is very professional with years of experience in both negotiation and litigation. Mark has worked both sides of personal injury law. He has defended insurance companies and sued them. He knows the legal landscape and has a working knowledge of many opposing lawyers and trial judges in Wisconsin. I was able to understand the legal process because Mark explained it well as i went through it. You can find his firm on the Internet listed as Mingo & Yankala S.C. If your case has merit and Mark is your attorney, I believe that you too will give Mark your strong endorsement.

Personal injury car accident

Hired Mark months after a car accident and my health insurance refused to pay my medical bills. Mark took my case, contacted the health insurer and got them to cover the bills, taking the huge expense off my family’s shoulders. Mark is a very knowledgeable lawyer with lots of experience. He handle...d every aspect of my case and gave proper legal advice on how to proceed as the case developed. Everything he advised me to do really helped the outcome of the case. I would recommend him to anyone I know who is in need of an attorney.
