Car Accidents
Car accidents are one of the most common causes of personal injuries in Faribault. Whether the crash was caused by distracted driving, speeding, or another form of negligence, our attorneys will work hard to recover compensation for your medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.

Property owners are responsible for maintaining safe environments. If you’ve been injured due to unsafe conditions on someone else’s property, we can help you hold the responsible party accountable and pursue the compensation you deserve.

Losing a loved one is painful enough, but when their death is due to someone else’s negligence, it can be devastating. We are here to help you pursue a wrongful death claim to seek justice for your loved one and compensation for your loss.
Your health and safety should be your top priority after an injury. Once you’ve sought medical care, follow these steps to protect your rights:
1. Seek Medical Attention Immediately
Even if you feel fine, it’s essential to see a healthcare provider right away. Some injuries may not present symptoms right away, and prompt medical care will establish an important record for your case.
2. Report the Incident
If the injury occurred at work or on someone else’s property, report it to the appropriate parties, such as your employer or the property owner. Be sure to get a copy of the report for your records.
3. Collect Evidence
If you can, take photos of the scene of the accident, your injuries, and any other relevant details. Make sure to gather contact information from witnesses and keep records of your medical treatments and expenses.

1. How much will hiring a personal injury lawyer cost?
At Knutson + Casey, we operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning there are no upfront fees. You only pay us if we win your case.
2. Should I accept a settlement offer from an insurance company?
Before accepting any offer, it’s important to consult with a personal injury lawyer. Insurance companies may offer a quick settlement, but it might be less than what you truly deserve. We’ll help you evaluate any offer and negotiate for the best outcome.
3. What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Minnesota follows a comparative fault rule, so you may still be entitled to compensation even if you were partially responsible for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced based on your degree of fault.
4. How long does a personal injury case take to resolve?
The length of time varies depending on the complexity of the case and how willing the insurance company is to settle. Some cases can be resolved quickly, while others may take longer. We will keep you informed throughout the entire process.
