Minnesota law generally requires that personal injury claims be filed within two years from the date of the accident or injury. It is important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure deadlines are met and your claim is preserved.
Many personal injury cases resolve through settlement negotiations without going to trial. However, if a fair agreement cannot be reached, your case may proceed to court where your attorney will represent your interests vigorously.
Compensation typically considers medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related damages. Each case is unique, and your attorney will help quantify these factors to pursue appropriate settlement or courtroom recovery.
Minnesota follows a modified comparative fault system, meaning your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault, but you can still recover damages if you are less than 50% responsible. Legal counsel can clarify how this applies to your case.
Many personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay legal fees only if your case is successful. This arrangement allows you to pursue your claim without upfront costs, with fees typically deducted from the settlement or award.
While it is possible to handle a claim independently, personal injury law can be complex and opposing parties like insurance companies often have experienced representation. An attorney helps protect your rights and ensures fair treatment throughout the process.
The duration varies based on case complexity, evidence gathering, and negotiation responsiveness. Some cases resolve within months, while others may take longer if litigation is necessary. Your attorney will provide estimates based on your specific circumstances.
You may claim economic damages such as medical bills and lost income, as well as non-economic damages including pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. Your attorney will help identify all applicable damages.
Provide all relevant details including accident reports, medical records, photographs, witness contacts, and insurance information. Being thorough and organized aids your attorney in building a strong case on your behalf.
