Personal Injury Laws in Minnesota
After being injured in an accident, it is crucial that you understand your rights in Minnesota. Personal injury accidents are unique to each person, and the laws can be just as personal. After suffering any type of injury, either from an accident or illness in an incident in Minnesota, you have the power to request fair compensation from the negligent party or entity, as well as benefits for wage loss, mileage, medical bills and homemaking from your own auto insurance called no fault insurance.
No fault insurance does not mean that it does not matter who is at fault. No Fault insurance provides coverage IN ADDITION to the personal injury claims that can be made against the at-fault driver. No fault coverage provides up to $20,000 in medical bills and medical mileage to visits, and up to $20,000 of wage loss and homemaker benefits.
The laws in the state of Minnesota allow you to hold someone else responsible for your injuries, no matter what happens with no fault coverage, and receive payment for all of your related losses, including past and future medical bills, past and future wage loss and loss of earning capacity, and past and future pain and suffering, and disability. After filing a personal injury claim, you may be eligible to collect the following damages:
- Lifelong medical costs associated with your injuries
- Lost wages, income, and capacity to earn
- Pain and suffering, emotional distress, or mental anguish
- Property damage repairs or replacements
- Medical mileage
- Loss of consortium and wrongful death damages
If you are unsure what damages you may be eligible for, our team of personal injury lawyers may be able to help. If another party breached a duty of care owed to you or a loved one and these actions resulted in injuries or wrongful death, surviving victims have the right to pursue fair compensation from the party that caused the damages.
