INJURED IN CAR ACCIDENT WHILE VISITING MINNESOTA
People travel through or visit Minnesota every day. Many people drive here regularly from Wisconsin, North Dakota, and Iowa. Of course, there are also people visiting Minnesota from all over the country. Really, all over the world.
So what happens if you are in a car accident while visiting Minnesota? In other words, will your insurance still apply? Does it matter if you caused the crash or were the victim? Our car accident lawyers answer these questions for people every day.
First, you should know that Minnesota law applies to all car accidents that occur in Minnesota. Therefore, regardless of where you are from, the law applies to you. This can make a difference in many situations. For example, injury compensation for a MN car accident requires a ‘threshold.’ This means your injury must reach a certain level of seriousness before you can receive any compenstation. At the same time, however, your medical bills from a car accident must be automatically paid, regardless of who caused the crash.
It is most likely that your auto insurance will apply to a Minnesota accident, even if you are just visiting. In other words, if you cause a crash, your insurance should cover you. However, if you are the victim of a crash, the rules can vary. Most importantly, Minnesota law requires No-Fault coverage as part of every auto insurance policy. Many visitors may come from a state where No-Fault insurance is not required. However, if you insurance is with a national insurer, they will be forced to provide No-Fault coverage while you are in Minnesota.
