When you have our Minnetonka personal injury lawyers on your side, we will:
- Meet with you to discuss what happened, who the at-fault parties may be, and determine whether you have a case and what a fair settlement should be.
- Make sure you get the medical treatment you need. Even if you do not think your injuries are serious, you should seek medical attention after an accident and document everything.
- Investigate your case, gathering evidence from photos and videos and police and medical reports, and interviewing witnesses and first responders.
- Take care of all legal matters, paperwork, filings, and court appearances.

COMPENSATION OUR PERSONAL ATTORNEYS MAY RECOVER
Your Settlement Award Should Cover Your Economic And Non-Economic Damages
The term damages refers to both your injuries and losses caused by the accident and the award you can receive to cover them. In a successful personal injury case, we can win a settlement for both economic and non-economic damages.
Economic damages are payments for your financial losses, such as:
- Medical bills and rehabilitation costs and continuing care
- Past and future wage loss
- Property damage resulting from the accident.
Noneconomic damages are for losses that do not have a specific dollar value, including:
- Pain and suffering
- Disability
- Emotional distress and anguish
- Loss of consortium and quality of life.
To have a case for pain and suffering or other noneconomic damages, you must meet a threshold as defined by Minnesota law.
The required thresholds are:
- Medical bills over $4,000, not including diagnostic X-rays;
- Permanent disfigurement;
- Permanent injury;
- Death; or
- A 60-day disability.
You must only meet one of these thresholds to have a claim for noneconomic damages.
Personal Injury Attorneys In Minnetonka, MN, Must Prove Fault
To win your case, our attorneys would have to show that another party was negligent (unless it was intentional) and at fault for causing harm to you.
Sometimes, there may be multiple parties responsible for the accident, and we would look to name all of them in your lawsuit. They all may have insurance and assets that can go toward a settlement.
Important Statutes of Limitation in Minnesota
There are a complicated set of time limitations that mean you need to contact your Minnetonka, MN, personal injury lawyers as soon as possible after the injury. If an important deadline passes, it could bar them from filing your case. There are several important deadlines, including:
- Six months for the no-fault portion of car accident claims
- Six years for most car accident and other personal injury claims
- Three years for wrongful death lawsuits
- Four years for an injury caused by medical malpractice
- Two years for intentional torts such as assaults or slander.
These deadlines are more complicated than simple time periods. When does the time period start? What could cause the time period to be extended? These are some of the many questions your personal injury attorneys in Minnetonka, MN, can help you with.
It’s a terrible idea to wait a while before contacting an attorney after an injury. The attorney needs to be on the case as quickly as possible after the injury. Time is of the essence when collecting important evidence.
Damage Amounts You May Receive
Damage amounts vary widely from the thousands to millions of dollars in personal injury cases, depending on the factors involved. The most important factors which affect any personal injury settlement amount include:
- Damages the actions of the other party caused to you
- The skill of your attorney.
PERSONAL INJURY LAWYERS IN MINNETONKA, MN, ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS
When you suffer personal injury, it’s natural to be confused and unsure of what to do. Here are some answers to questions clients often ask our Minnetonka personal injury attorneys:
Should I Talk To Insurance Companies?
The less you say to insurance companies, the better. Insurance companies are out for profit and use tactics such as trying to get you to say something that shows you were at fault. Or they may try luring you into a quick settlement for less than your case is worth. Having an experienced Minnetonka personal injury lawyer on your side will help you get the money you’re entitled to.
What If I Did Something To Contribute To The Accident?
Minnesota is a comparative fault state, which means that you can collect a settlement as long as you are 50% or less at fault for the accident. If you’re partially at fault, the percentage you’re at fault will reduce your damages. For example, if your case is worth $100,000 but you are 20% at fault for the accident, your Minnetonka, MN, personal injury attorneys can help you recover $80,000.
How Long Does It Take A Minnetonka Personal Injury Lawyer To Win A Settlement?
Each case is different, but it’s usually not a good idea for a Minnetonka personal injury lawyer to settle a case too soon. Injuries may worsen over time and you want a settlement that covers all medical bills along with pain and suffering compensation that may result from additional diagnoses and treatment.
How Much Time Does A Personal Injury Lawyer In Minnetonka, MN, Have To Start A Lawsuit?
In most cases, the statute of limitations for a personal injury claim is six years in Minnesota. There are a few scenarios where courts may extend the “clock” on the statute of limitations. These include:
- If the injured person under is the age of 18, then the statute does not run until the latter of 6 years or the person turns 19 years old.
- If the injured person is legally insane, then the clock won’t start running until the period of legal disability is over (the injured person regains their mental competence). However, this filing deadline can’t extend past five years. And when the client’s sanity returns, they’ll have one year to file the case.
The time your Minnetonka, MN, personal injury lawyer has to file your case isn’t the most important issue. What really matters is that you consult with an attorney as quickly as possible after the injury.
