Car accidents are common. However, if you are hurt in an auto accident caused by another driver's carelessness, there is nothing ordinary about the situation. You will need to seek medical treatment for your injuries, which may force you to take time off work. If your vehicle was damaged, you may be left without transportation. While you are left wondering how you will pay your bills, the last thing you need to worry about is dealing with the insurance company.

I Have Been Hurt in an Accident. Now What?
After the accident, contact a personal injury lawyer immediately. When you call our firm, you will speak directly to an experienced attorney who is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We will hire an investigator or accident reconstructionist to gather evidence, which may include skid marks, fluid spills, black boxes from cars and witness statements. Since evidence fades or disappears over time, it is important that we start an investigation right away.
After an accident, you have a lot on your mind. We will strive to ease that burden by:
- Helping you find the best possible medical treatment
- Carefully reviewing and interpreting your insurance coverage
- Getting you a rental car
- Arranging for your damaged car to be repaired
- Filing a wage loss claim, if appropriate
- Dealing with the insurance company on your behalf
- Preparing your case as though it will go to trial in an effort to maximize your compensation
The last thing you need to worry about is money after an accident. That is why our firm handles car accident cases on a contingency fee basis. That means you do not pay us a penny until we get results for you.
Car accidents can happen anywhere. Whether you were hurt while driving to work in Minneapolis or while traveling to California, New York or any other location, we will come to you to help. We have extensive experience handling claims for clients across and outside the country.
Minnesota No-Fault Insurance Coverage
Many people are confused about Minnesota's no-fault insurance coverage. Under this system, if a negligent driver hits you, your insurance pays for the damages. Also, you are entitled to see any doctor you want, no referral necessary.
Our firm will communicate with the insurance company to help obtain fair compensation. We have extensive litigation experience, allowing for significant leverage in negotiations with insurers. Inside or outside the courtroom, we will aggressively pursue your rightful compensation.
