DO I HAVE A CASE FOR ACCIDENT INJURY MINNEAPOLIS?
An experienced personal injury lawyer understands there are three important parts to an accident claim in Minneapolis or any other city: First, to have an accident injury case, there must be another party at fault. If you injure yourself in an accident, you cannot successfully bring an accident case.
The other party in a Minneapolis MN accident case can be a person or a business. For example, if you were injured because you fell on something slippery 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 a person.
Similarly, if you are injured in a car accident by a truck being driven for a company. Our accident injury lawyers in Minneapolis will pursue the case against the business that owns the truck. The insurance issues can be complicated and tricky. However, you can meet with an injury attorney at our Minneapolis office for a free consultation to discuss your case. We will answer your questions and protect your rights.
SERIOUS INJURY MINNEAPOLIS LAWYERS
The second requirement for a lawyer in an accident case is that there has to be an injury. In car accident cases, the injury has to meet a threshold. In other personal injury accidents in Minneapolis, the injury has to at least be significant enough to make it worthwhile for the accident attorney to pursue.
Our lawyers take personal injury accident cases based on a contingency. This means we are paid a percentage of what we collect for the person injured in the accident. Therefore, we can only take a case if the injury is serious enough to make it worth the time and expense we incur.
It is not always clear at the time of the accident how badly you have been injured. Our personal injury lawyers will meet with you after an accident in Minneapolis to discuss your case in more detail.
MINNEAPOLIS ACCIDENT INSURANCE ATTORNEY
The third requirement our personal injury lawyers look for in a Minneapolis accident case is insurance. Unfortunately, it only makes sense to pursue a case where the person or business causing the accident has insurance.
Usually, people who don’t have insurance for accidents they cause also don’t have money to pay damages for their accidents. This is true if you are injured in a car accident, slip fall, dog bite, etc. Unfortunately, the penalties for not having insurance are minimal. However, if you are injured in a Minneapolis car accident caused by an uninsured driver, there are other options. A top accident attorney from our office will help you get compensation from the uninsured motorist coverage of your own insurance.
