Compensation Our Apple Valley Personal Injury Lawyers May Recover for You
Your Settlement Should Cover Your Economic and Noneconomic Damages
The term “damages” refers to both your injuries and the losses caused by the accident. The award is the amount you receive to cover those damages. In a successful personal injury case, settlements include both economic and noneconomic damages.
Economic damages help recoup financial losses, such as:
- Medical bills
- Rehabilitation and continuing care costs
- Past and future wage loss
- Property damage resulting from the accident.
Noneconomic damages compensate for losses that do not have a specific dollar value, including:
- Pain and suffering (Minnesota law requires meeting a threshold to claim pain and suffering)
- Disability
- Emotional stress and anguish
- Loss of consortium and quality of life.
Damage Amounts You May Receive
Tyroler Leonard has won damages in the hundreds of thousands, even in the millions, for past personal injury clients. Even with such an excellent rate of successful case results, it’s important to remember that each case is different, and your outcome will depend on your case’s facts.

FAQs: Common Questions for Our Personal Injury Lawyers in Apple Valley, MN
When injured clients speak with us for the first time, they often are unsure whether they actually want or need to hire Apple Valley personal injury attorneys. They may be afraid of having to testify in court, or they may simply want to settle the case as fast as possible – even if that means not receiving the maximum amount of damages they should have – to put the memory of the accident behind them. However, after they realize that maximizing their personal injury award is so important to their future, they often decide to hire us immediately to represent them. We simply want the best possible outcome for all our clients.
Hiring personal injury attorneys and having to go through this type of case can be intimidating. That’s why our team promises to answer any questions you may have. To help you gain a feel for how our Apple Valley personal injury law firm handles cases like this, here are answers to common questions clients often have for us.
Should I Talk to Insurance Companies?
The less you say to an insurance company, the better. Insurance companies are only interested in turning a profit and will use various tactics to protect that interest. They might try to get you to say something that implicates you as being at fault, or they may try to get you to accept a quick settlement for much less than you’re entitled to have. Having experienced Apple Valley personal injury lawyers on your side will help with appropriately valuing the case and with maximizing your settlement from the insurance company.
What If I Did Something to Contribute to The Accident?
Minnesota is a comparative fault state. This means that you can collect a settlement as long as you are 50% or less at fault for the accident. If you are partially at fault, your damages will be reduced by the percentage you are at fault. For example, if your damages amount to $100,000 but you are 20% at fault, your Apple Valley personal injury lawyers will seek to recover $80,000.
How Long Does It Take to Get a Settlement?
Each case is different and is dependent on various criteria, but it’s generally not a good idea to settle too quickly. Injuries could worsen over time, and there could be additional diagnoses and treatments. Ideally, you will want your settlement to include any medical treatment you have received and any future treatment you might need. This is why a settlement should only occur when a doctor is certain of the injuries that you have – and that no new injuries will appear – or that the doctor has designated your injuries as permanent. That way, you will have a good idea of what medical care might be needed in the future. Ultimately, if an agreement can be made through negotiations, you will see your settlement sooner than if we have to take it to court.
What Sort of Accidents Can I Seek Damages For?
There are a variety of different accidents for which you can seek damages. Tyroler Leonard will seek damages if you have sustained an injury due to someone else’s negligence that resulted in the following:
- Boating accidents
- Car accidents
- Daycare injuries
- Defective products
- Dog bites
- Motorcycle accidents
- Nursing home abuse
- Semi-truck accidents
- Slip and fall
- Work injuries
- Wrongful death
What Is the Statute of Limitations for An Apple Valley Personal Injury Claim?
According to Minnesota law, the statute of limitations to file a personal injury lawsuit is six years.
