What Pritzker Hageman does

Pritzker Hageman, P.A. is a privately held plaintiff-side personal injury law firm founded in 1980 by Fred Pritzker in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and currently led by Managing Partner Eric Hageman. The firm represents seriously injured individuals and their families across all 50 states in complex personal injury and wrongful death matters, with a particular concentration in food poisoning litigation (E. coli, Listeria, Salmonella, Cyclospora, Campylobacter, Hepatitis A, Botulism, Vibrio), Legionnaires' disease claims, burn and explosion injuries, commercial truck and vehicle accidents, product liability (including medical devices), and wrongful death. The firm leverages a national practice structure, retaining local counsel and seeking pro hac vice admission in state and federal courts outside its home jurisdictions, and maintains a second office in Las Vegas, Nevada to support western U.S. cases.

The firm has no proprietary technology platform; its core "product" is bespoke legal representation delivered by approximately eight attorneys. Service delivery is supported by a substantial content marketing footprint (255+ pages of practice-area and outbreak-related content) and formal referral pipelines including attorney-to-attorney referrals and partnerships with the American Burn Association and Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors. Notable results include more than 100 settlements and verdicts above $1 million, a $45 million product liability settlement, a $10 million burn injury verdict, and a $7.5 million E. coli verdict, with the firm claiming "hundreds of millions" recovered for clients cumulatively.

Pritzker Hageman operates on a contingency fee model: clients pay nothing upfront and the firm is compensated only from settlement or verdict proceeds, with attorney fees and case expenses deducted from recovery. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The firm is recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a Best Law Firm every year since 2012, has held Super Lawyers distinctions since 2004, and includes attorneys named to America's Top 100 Attorneys and Minnesota Attorney of the Year (three times). The firm is a Professional Association domiciled in Minnesota with no parent company, no external institutional investors, and no disclosed funding rounds.
