Minnesota Insurance Companies Don't Have Your Best Interests In Mind
Insurance exists to protect organizations and individuals from the financial consequences of accidents. However, insurance companies work for profits, and minimizing claim payouts is part of their business model. They’ll try every trick to suggest you contributed to the accident, even if it wasn’t your fault.
Don’t risk your financial future by trusting an insurance company. That’s especially true if you have severe injuries or the accident left you with costly bills to pay. Instead, get help from a qualified attorney who will do what it takes to hold insurance companies accountable.

Damages in Personal Injury Lawsuits in Minnesota
In a personal injury lawsuit, you can pursue compensation for your economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages cover the past and future costs resulting from the injury. They include the following:
- Medical Expenses: Compensation for past and future medical costs
- Lost Wages: Reimbursement for earnings while you’re recovering from your injury
- Lost Earning Capacity: Compensation for the difference in earning capacity if the injury prevents you from returning to your regular line of work
- Property Damage: Compensation for repairing or replacing personal items, such as a vehicle in a car accident
Non-economic damages compensate for the intangible impacts of your injury, including the following:
- Pain and Suffering:Compensation for the physical pain you’ve experienced from your injuries
- Emotional Distress: Cover the emotional impact of your injury, including PTSD
- Loss of Consortium:Damages for a surviving spouse of someone killed or catastrophically injured in an accident.
A court may also award you punitive damages to punish the defendant and deter future misbehavior. To qualify for punitive damages, you must present clear and convincing evidence that the defendant acted with a deliberate disregard for the rights or safety of others.
Our personal injury lawyers in Minnesota holistically evaluate your case and go after the maximum damages you deserve.
Minnesota State Laws That Impact Personal Injury Cases
Several state laws can impact a lawsuit’s outcome. Our attorneys know how regulations can affect your case, and we’ll mount a vigorous defense to protect your interests.
Minnesota's Personal Injury Statute of Limitations
Every state has a statute of limitations for personal injury claims. This law sets the length of time you have to file a lawsuit after an accident. The Minnesota personal injury statute of limitations generally gives injury victims six years to file, and the clock starts ticking on the day of the accident.
Waiting too long to file means a court will likely dismiss your lawsuit, making you ineligible to recover any damages.
Contact a lawyer as soon as possible after an accident. Memories and evidence may fade over time, making it impossible to prove your case.
Minnesota's Comparative Negligence Law
Minnesota’s comparative negligence statute is another law that regularly comes into play in personal injury cases. In Minnesota, you can recover compensation from an at-fault driver if you are not more at fault for the accident than the defendant. However, your compensation will be reduced in proportion to your share of the responsibility for the accident. Insurance companies may argue that you were partially responsible for an accident in some way to reduce your compensation.
For example, suppose you slipped and fell on spilled water at the grocery store. The insurer might argue you were partially responsible for the accident because you were using your smartphone at the time.
Our Minnesota personal injury lawyers know how to fight such tactics and keep the opposition from shifting blame. We’ll refute those arguments to fight for the compensation you deserve.
No-Fault Laws
Minnesota is a no-fault state for vehicle accidents, meaning car accident victims must first turn to their personal injury protection, or PIP, coverage. However, PIP only covers specific damages, such as medical costs and lost wages. It doesn’t reimburse you for pain and suffering and other damages. Therefore, PIP may not be enough to cover all your losses. Instead, you might need to seek compensation from the other driver and their insurer.
Minnesota only allows you to pursue a claim against an at-fault driver if your injuries require more than $4,000 in medical treatment or you have suffered a permanent injury, permanent disfigurement, or a disability lasting more than 60 days.
Our attorneys can help you navigate Minnesota no-fault laws and pursue all the compensation you’re entitled to for your injuries.
