DO I NEED A LAWYER AFTER A CAR ACCIDENT IN MN?
We are often asked if it is important to contact a car accident lawyer after an accident in Minnesota. Not surprisingly, our answer is yes. However, this does not necessarily mean you need to hire a lawyer; it just means you should initially consult with a lawyer after your car accident. There is a common-sense reason why you should talk with an experienced personal injury attorney soon after a car crash: So you can be informed of and protect your rights.
The auto insurance companies – yours and the other driver’s – are looking out for their interests, not yours. For this reason, you need to know what benefits you are entitled to under your automobile insurance policy and Minnesota law. A lawyer will tell you what you should be careful to do and not to do when dealing with the insurance companies. You need to know what you are doing to make sure you are protected in the event you have a personal injury case. Our car accident lawyers provide free consultations every day to people who have been in a car accident.
Too many people put off consulting with a personal injury attorney after a car accident. They wait until they have a dispute with an insurance company. Unfortunately, by that time, your claim could already be damaged if you did not properly document your injuries and the fault of the other driver. In some case there are also important deadlines that must be met. An experienced MN Car accident lawyer knows the deadlines for filing claims and can explain the insurance rules to you.
GET YOUR CAR ACCIDENT QUESTIONS ANSWEREDÂ
People who contact us often say that they “aren’t the suing kind of people” or that they are not “sue-happy.” In many cases, it is their first time calling a lawyer for anything. At Rochlin Law Firm, Ltd., our attorneys don’t take cases for the sue-happy people who are just trying to make money off their car crash. Those people usually call the law firms advertising on television. Plus, we carefully screen our cases to help people determine whether they have a legitimate case.
The people who hire us to represent them are not ‘sue-happy’ people. They are people whose lives have been uprooted by an auto accident. They have injuries from the crash and are facing worries about lost wages and medical bills. In other words, they just want fair treatment by the insurance company. Crash victims require representation from a personal injury attorney to get them the compensation they deserve. Our lawyers also represent families of children or other loved ones killed in accidents. We can help with the financial and other losses that come with such a tragedy.
