Upon contacting SiebenCarey, we will schedule an initial consultation to discuss the details of your case. This allows us to assess the viability of your claim and provide you with valuable legal advice.

Minnesota Car Accident Lawyer FAQs

What should I do after a car accident?

After a car accident, it is essential to prioritize your safety and well-being. If possible, move to a safe location and call emergency services for medical assistance. Exchange information with the other parties involved, gather evidence, and take photographs of the accident scene. It's crucial to report the accident to the police and your insurance company as soon as possible.

Lastly, consult with an experienced car accident lawyer to understand your rights and legal options. To learn more, see our free guide: 10 Steps to Follow After a Car Accident.

What types of compensation can I recover in a car accident claim?

If you've been injured in a car accident, you may be entitled to various forms of compensation, including:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Property damage
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Rehabilitation costs
  • Future expenses and losses

Our team of Minnesota car accident lawyers will evaluate your case and fight to ensure you receive the full and fair compensation you deserve.

What evidence do I need for a successful car accident claim?

Building a strong case requires gathering relevant evidence to support your claim. This may include:

  • Accident reports
  • Photographs of the accident scene and property damage
  • Witness statements
  • Expert opinions
  • Medical records
  • Surveillance footage

Our experienced attorneys will conduct a thorough investigation and collect the necessary evidence to establish liability and demonstrate the full extent of your damages.

How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Minnesota?

In Minnesota, the statute of limitations for filing a car accident claim is generally six years from the date of the accident. However, you should always consult with an attorney promptly, as there may be exceptions and specific deadlines depending on the circumstances of your case. Failing to file within the applicable timeframe could result in losing your right to seek compensation.

How can a Minnesota car accident lawyer help me?

A Minnesota car accident lawyer can:

  • Offer legal guidance
  • Gather evidence
  • Strengthen your case
  • Negotiate with insurance companies
  • Advocate for your rights
  • Represent you in court if needed

In short, your attorney will handle all the complications of your case so you can rest and focus on healing.

What if I was partially responsible for an accident?

In Minnesota, you can pursue compensation even if you were partially responsible for an accident. However, the amount of compensation you receive may be reduced proportionally based on your percentage of fault. For example, if you were found to be 20% at fault and the total damages amounted to $100,000, your compensation would be reduced by 20% to $80,000.

It's important to consult with an experienced car accident attorney who can navigate the complexities of comparative negligence laws, build a strong case on your behalf, and strive to maximize your recovery—even if you share some degree of fault in the accident.

How long will it take to resolve my car accident claim?

The duration of a car accident claim can vary depending on various factors, including the complexity of the case, the severity of injuries, and the willingness of the insurance company to negotiate a fair settlement. Some cases can be resolved through negotiation within a few months, while others may require litigation and can take longer. Rest assured that our team will work diligently to resolve your claim as efficiently as possible while ensuring that your rights and best interests are protected.

Will I have to go to court for my car accident claim?

Not all car accident claims go to court. In fact, the majority of cases are resolved through negotiation and settlement outside of the courtroom. Our attorneys will strive to reach a fair settlement through negotiation, mediation, or alternative dispute resolution methods. However, if a fair agreement cannot be reached, we are fully prepared to take your case to court and advocate for your rights before a judge and jury.

How much will it cost to hire a car accident attorney?

At SiebenCarey, we work on a contingency fee basis for car accident cases. This means that we only charge legal fees if we successfully recover compensation for you. Our fees are a percentage of the settlement or verdict obtained on your behalf.

We understand that you may be facing financial challenges after an injury, which is why we offer free initial consultations and work on a no-win, no-fee basis. This ensures that you can access quality legal representation without any upfront costs or financial risks.

What if the other driver doesn’t have insurance?

If the at-fault driver in your car accident does not have insurance or carries insufficient insurance coverage, you may still have options for compensation. In such cases, your own insurance policy may include uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, which can provide coverage for your injuries and damages. Consulting with an experienced car accident attorney can help you understand your insurance policy and explore all available avenues for compensation.

Should I accept a settlement offer for my car accident injury?

It is common for insurance companies to offer quick settlements soon after an accident. However, it is important to approach such offers with caution. Insurance companies may try to settle for a lower amount than you deserve, hoping to minimize their costs.

Before accepting any settlement offer, it is advisable to consult with a car accident attorney who can assess the offer, evaluate the full extent of your damages, and negotiate on your behalf to ensure you receive fair and just compensation.

Can I pursue a car accident claim if I was a passenger in the vehicle?

Yes, as a passenger in a car involved in an accident, you have the right to pursue a car accident claim. You can seek compensation for your injuries and damages from the at-fault driver's insurance company or through other available insurance coverage. Consulting with a car accident attorney will help you understand your rights as a passenger and guide you through the process of filing a claim.

What is Minnesota's no-fault insurance law, and how does it affect my car accident claim?

Minnesota's no-fault insurance law requires motor vehicle owners to carry personal injury protection (PIP) coverage. This coverage ensures that your own insurance company will promptly cover your medical expenses and certain other damages, regardless of fault.

However, the law also limits your ability to sue the at-fault driver for non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering, unless your injuries meet specific criteria outlined in the law. Consulting with a car accident attorney can help you understand how the no-fault insurance law impacts your claim and navigate the legal requirements to seek the maximum benefits and compensation available.

What if I’m in an accident while out of state?

Minnesota drivers can get the compensation they deserve after a car crash both in-state and out-of-state by having adequate uninsured motorist, under-insured motorist, and no-fault insurance. Learn more about out-of-state car insurance coverage.

How can teen drivers stay safe on the road?

Teen drivers can stay safe on the road by following essential safety practices, such as:

  • Obeying all traffic laws
  • Avoiding distractions like cell phones
  • Wearing seat belts at all times

Additionally, ongoing driver education programs, including defensive driving courses, can provide valuable skills and knowledge to enhance their safety awareness and decision-making abilities. Open communication with parents or guardians about driving responsibilities, setting clear expectations, and enforcing curfews and passenger limitations can also contribute to safer driving habits for teen drivers.

See our safety tips for teen drivers and their parents.
