MINNESOTA ACCIDENT LAWYER – PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS
Our personal injury accident lawyers handle all kinds of accident injury cases in Minnesota. Mostly, accident injury cases are against an insurance company. The MN accident cases our best lawyers handle include car accident cases and slip and fall cases. Also, dog bite and dog attack cases, defective product cases, motorcycle injuries, and others. Basically, we handle all cases where people are injured in an accident in Minnesota.
MN law requires that the accident injury case is technically brought against the person who caused the accident. In other words, you can’t sue the insurance company directly. However, the insurance company defends the case and pays the settlement. Our top MN accident lawyers deal with insurance companies about accident injury cases every day. In fact, we have been doing so for more than 25 years.
ACCIDENT INJURY REQUIREMENT MN LAWYER
There are three parts to an accident case in Minnesota. Our attorneys carefully examine each of these before taking on an accident case. First, an injury case requires a third-party must be at fault. If you injure yourself in an accident, you cannot successfully bring an accident injury claim for compensation.
The other party in a MN personal injury accident claim can be a person or a business. For example, if you are injured because you fell after something slippery was left on the floor at a store, the accident claim is against the business. If you are injured because a homeowner did not properly salt their sidewalk, the accident claim is against the person who owns the home. (Although, again, it is their insurance that is actually responsible.) Similarly, if you are injured in a car accident by a truck being driven for a company, our injury attorneys pursue the accident case against the business that owns the truck.
SERIOUS INJURY COMPENSATION
The second requirement for an accident case in Minnesota is that there must be an injury. In a car accident case, the injury has to meet a threshold. In other MN personal injury accidents, the injury has to at least be significant enough to make it worthwhile for a MN accident lawyer to pursue the case.
Our lawyers take personal injury accident cases based on a contingency fee. This means that we are paid a percentage of what we collect for the person injured in the accident. Therefore, we can only take cases if the injury is significant enough to make it worth the time and expense we incur. This usually means eventual surgery or a permanent injury. However, it is not always clear at the time of the accident how significant your injury will be. Therefore, our top attorneys are always happy to meet with you after an accident and provide you with a free consultation. We will help you assess whether you have a case that is worth pursuing.
INSURANCE FOR ACCIDENT CASE MN
The third requirement our personal injury lawyers look for in a MN accident case is insurance. Unfortunately, it generally does not make sense to pursue a case if the person or business causing the accident does not have insurance. Usually, people who don’t have insurance for accidents they cause also don’t have money to pay damages for their accidents.
It is illegal to own and drive a car in Minnesota without having insurance for accidents, but we do see that happen sometimes. Unfortunately, the penalties are not as severe as we think they should be. However, if you are injured in a car accident caused by an uninsured driver, our accident lawyers will also help you get compensation from your own uninsured motorist coverage.
