When you take your car to a repair shop or mechanic in Minneapolis, you expect your concerns to be addressed and your car to be in fine working order when the repairs are completed. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. When a mechanic fails to repair a vehicle properly, severe malfunctions may occur and cause deadly collisions. If you believe your car accident was caused by negligent repairs, you may have grounds to file a personal injury claim against the responsible party.
The first-class attorneys at Knutson + Casey understand how damaging and frustrating a maintenance-related collision can be and are committed to working tirelessly to hold the negligent party fully accountable for their actions. We have an established history of handling thousands of personal injury claims for our clients in Minneapolis and are prepared to take your case to trial to protect your rights, interests, and the total value of your claim.
Under Minnesota law, repair shop customers have the right to sue a negligent mechanic who damaged your vehicle and caused your accident and subsequent injuries. To successfully pursue a claim for compensation, you must establish the following essential elements:
It is essential to note that if your mechanic recommended repairs to your vehicle that you declined, they cannot be held liable for your injuries and other losses. For example, if your mechanic warns you that your brakes need to be urgently replaced and you are later involved in a brake failure accident, you may be held liable for not prioritizing the repairs. An experienced attorney will review your case and advise you on your rights and legal options and evaluate whether you have a case against a negligent mechanic.
