JUSTICE FOR SERIOUS CAR ACCIDENT – LAWYERS MN
How do you get justice for a car accident? When the other driver has been negligent, they should be held accountable. Our car accident lawyers represent people injured in serious car accidents.
Unfortunately, our attorneys do not have police power. We cannot prosecute the person who caused your accident. That is up to the police and the prosecutor. However, our lawyers can make sure you and your family are financially compensated to the extent possible.
COMPENSATION FOR CAR ACCIDENT INJURIES
The other driver’s insurance needs to pay compensation for your car accident injuries. Yes, Minnesota is a No-Fault state. However, this does not mean it doesn’t matter who was at fault. It also doesn’t mean the other driver doesn’t have to pay for their bad driving mistake. “No-Fault” just means that your initial medical bills and wage loss are paid by your insurance no matter who was at fault. But additional compensation may still be had from the other driver’s auto insurance.
First, the No-Fault insurance only pays $20,000 in medical bills. If you are in the hospital for more than a day, or you require surgery, your medical bills will exceed $20,000. The other driver’s insurance must pay the remainder. Second, No-Fault insurance doesn’t pay for pain and suffering. When you are seriously injured, you are entitled to more than just having your medical bills paid. You are entitled to compensation for what you have gone through and the disruption to your life. In many cases, that is more than the medical bills. However, to receive that compensation, you must prove the other driver was at fault. In addition, your injury must meet a “threshold” of seriousness.
CAR ACCIDENT LAWYERS
Our car accident lawyers work hard to hold the other driver accountable. When there is a dispute regarding fault, we make sure there is a complete investigation. We will contact witnesses and get any available video. When the insurance company disputes the extent of your injury, we will get your medical records and contact the doctors to prove the truth. That is how you get some justice for your injury.
