Common questions

What not to say to a personal injury lawyer?

Avoid admitting fault or discussing settlement amounts with insurance adjusters or other parties. Be truthful and provide all details of the accident and your injuries to your attorney. Your lawyer will manage all communication to safeguard your case.

How much do most personal injury lawyers charge?

Personal injury lawyers typically work on a contingency fee basis. You pay no legal fees unless your case results in a settlement or award. The fee is a percentage of your recovery. This ensures access to legal representation regardless of your financial situation.

What evidence do you need for a personal injury claim?

Key evidence includes the police report, photographs of the accident scene and vehicle damage, and witness contact information. Thorough medical records detailing your injuries and treatment are essential, along with documentation of lost income.

How long do I have to get a lawyer after a car accident?

Minnesota has a statute of limitations, a deadline for filing a lawsuit, which is typically six years from the date of the accident. However, it is crucial to contact a lawyer as soon as possible to preserve evidence and begin the claims process effectively.

The final amount you receive from a settlement is after attorney fees and case expenses are deducted. Attorney fees are a percentage of the settlement. We will provide a clear breakdown of these deductions and your net recovery, ensuring transparency.

What are the unique aspects of Minnesota car accident law?

Minnesota operates under a no-fault insurance system for personal injury protection (PIP) benefits. This means your own insurance covers initial medical expenses and lost wages, regardless of fault. Our attorneys understand how to navigate these specific regulations.
