MINNEAPOLIS INJURY LAWYERS INJURED IN ACCIDENT ATTORNEYS
A personal injury lawyer represents people injured in accidents. Minneapolis seems to get many injury cases. Of course, there are a lot of people walking and driving in the case. Minneapolis injury cases include car accidents, defective product injuries, dog bites, slip and fall accidents, medical malpractice, etc. Our lawyers handle many of these cases in Minneapolis.
Attorneys who practice personal injury law in Minnesota usually focus their practice either on helping people injured in accidents, or defending insurance companies against those claims. At the Rochlin Law Firm, our top MN personal injury attorneys only represent people who have been injured in accidents. We do not represent insurance companies to defend against claims. Many of our accident cases are in Minneapolis.
THE BEST MINNEAPOLIS PERSONAL INJURY LAWYERS ARE EXPERIENCED
Personal injury law is very specific and requires specialized knowledge. Some attorneys take on a personal injury case even though personal injury law is not their primary focus. Therefore, they may not have the specialized knowledge required. However, the insurance companies only hire defense attorneys who are experienced with MN accident injury cases. Therefore, if you are injured in an accident in Minneapolis, make sure your lawyer has specialized knowledge in personal injury law. Your interests will then be properly represented.
It is also important to work with a law firm where you will not get lost in the shuffle of too many cases. Unfortunately, some of the larger law firms process so many cases they cannot know who you really are. At our firm, you will meet with a top accident injury lawyer in Minneapolis from the beginning of your case. In addition, you will always be able to get us on the phone or have us call you back within 24 hours.
Many of the best personal injury lawyers belong to the Minnesota Association for Justice. Our law firm has supported this organization for many years. Pam Rochlin served on the Board of Governors for 10 years. Also, she still contributes by writing articles or speaking at seminars when asked. The top MN personal injury attorneys belong to the Minnesota Association for Justice for the educational opportunities, shared resources, common lobbying and communication efforts.
COMMON ISSUES FACED BY A PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY
When someone is injured in an accident in Minneapolis, there are several issues requiring the specialized knowledge and study of an experienced personal injury attorney. For example, there are different statutes of limitation for different types of personal injury cases.
Most car accident personal injury cases in MN have a six-year statute of limitations. However, if there is a death involved, the statute of limitations is three years. Many slip and fall personal injury cases have a six-year statute of limitations. However, injuries on property that are a result of a permanent improvement to the property have a two-year statute of limitations. There are also specific legal issues that must be considered when the injury is to a child.
If you have been injured in an accident, you want a top Minneapolis lawyer who understands the medical issues involved in your case. For example, one of the most common defenses our MN injury attorneys see from an insurance company is the “preexisting condition” defense. That issue comes up every day for an experienced personal injury lawyer in Minneapolis MN. You do not want an attorney facing that issue for the first time on your case.
