Not every personal injury case goes to trial. In many cases, by conducting a thorough investigation and presenting strong evidence, we can reach a favorable settlement that avoids the expense, stress and delays of trial. However, every case is different, and we are always prepared to fight for you in court if needed. Our lawyers will discuss these possibilities with you so you understand your options and know what to expect.
No. Once you have contacted an attorney, you should allow your attorney to handle all communication with any insurance representatives. Your attorney will advocate for you and will handle negotiations so that the case is not compromised in any way.
Unless they receive approval for self-insurance from the Department of Commerce, Minnesota law dictates that all employers must acquire workers’ compensation insurance.
Always prioritize medical attention as your first step. You will then need to notify your employer of your injury – be sure to do so in writing as soon as possible. Workers’ compensation insurance may deny your claim if you are too late in notifying your employer.
An employer-recommended doctor may have a bias in examining your injuries. While your employer or their insurance may still require that you see their recommended physician, you should see your regular doctor as they will know your medical records and can give an unbiased second opinion.
Your employer’s insurance should cover all treatment related to your injury as well as necessary medical supplies.
Typically, the wait time to hear whether the insurance company approves your claim is around two weeks from the day of filing.
One of the most overwhelming aspects of an accident injury is the financial burden it brings. Even seemingly minor injuries can quickly rack up a mountain of medical bills. And, in all likelihood, those bills will come due before your case has been resolved. Fortunately, there are options. Your no-fault insurance coverage can pay for those bills until you reach your policy limits. After that, your health insurance is second in priority, providing coverage while your claim is still pending. Our lawyers will work with you to find the right coverage for your situation.

Workers’ compensation typically covers all medical costs related to your workplace injury as well as two-thirds of your average weekly wage, up to a maximum amount specified by the state. If you incur any travel expenses while going to healthcare appointments or medical treatments, these should also be fully covered by your workers’ compensation plan. It is important to become familiar with Minnesota’s workers’ compensation coverage and reach out to your employer to ensure they know you’ve been injured on the job.
Those partly responsible for their accident can still pursue compensation as part of a legal case. However, awards can be reduced based on how much a judge or jury determines this individual was at fault. For instance, a personal injury victim may file a lawsuit for $100,000. If a judge or jury determines the victim was 20% at fault, this individual will only receive $80,000. That’s why it’s essential to be represented by an attorney you can trust, and injury victims have trusted our firm for nearly six decades.

It helps to meet with a personal injury lawyer to determine if a legal claim is valid. The attorney can review an accident that led to a personal injury and the associated evidence. Then, the lawyer can help the client make an informed decision about whether to file a personal injury lawsuit.
Most Minnesota personal injury legal claims have a two-year statute of limitations. But some exceptions apply.
The cost to hire a personal injury lawyer varies. In many instances, a personal injury lawyer uses a contingency fee agreement, meaning they don’t get paid unless their client’s case is successful. Meanwhile, some personal injury attorneys charge hourly rates and require a retainer.

A trustee appointed by the family or court system can file a wrongful death claim on behalf of the surviving family members. Compensation is distributed to the surviving spouse and next of kin.
The amount of compensation you receive will depend on the details of your case. If the deceased person is partly at fault, the family can receive compensation as long as the decedent’s share of fault is not more than that of the opposing party. However, compensation will be reduced proportionately.
