INJURED IN CAR ACCIDENT – OUR LAWYERS CAN HELP
A car accident injury lawyer mostly deals with medical bills, lost income, and future needs. In addition, we get clients compensation for pain and suffering and other losses. A lawyer for someone injured in a car accident handles the insurance issues, including auto insurance, disability insurance and medical insurance.
After a car crash, the first issues are medical bills and replacement or repair of your vehicle. If the other driver was at fault, their insurance will pay for your vehicle repair or replacement. Sometimes, of course, there is a dispute about fault. When we get a new case, our car accident lawyers start proving the other vehicle was at fault. Even if it initially seems obvious, the insurance company may dispute fault at some point. Therefore, we get intersection or road video, police dash cam and body cam, and any other available evidence. In some cases, we hire an expert to reconstruct the accident if necessary.
The initial medical bills for a car accident are paid by your auto insurance. That is what “No-Fault” means in Minnsota. However, that coverage is limited to $20,000 in most cases. Therefore, if your car accident injury is serious, the $20,000 will be used up quickly. After that, medical bills for a car accident are paid by your health insurance. Later, when we settle the case, your health insurance company will be repaid out of the settlement. In addition, of course, you will be repaid for any deductibles or co-pays you made.
