Minnetonka Car Accident Lawyers

OUR MINNETONKA CAR ACCIDENT LAWYERS HELP YOU GET COMPENSATION

Car crashes are a common occurrence in Minnesota and can cause major property damage, devastating injuries, and even death. Survivors struggle to recover from their injuries while medical bills mount up, injuries may limit their ability to work, and financial problems keep increasing. If you or a family member of yours is injured or someone has died in a car accident, this could entitle you to compensation for your losses through insurance or a lawsuit. However, Minnesota has complicated laws. Making mistakes can be costly. Insurance companies and their lawyers will attempt to get you to settle for the lowest amount possible. It’s extremely difficult to come out ahead when you go up against them on your own. Fortunately, Tyroler Leonard Injury Law will fight for a fair settlement for you. Attorney Isaac Tyroler and Attorney Rachel Sperling Leonard believe clients come first and spend the time necessary with you to make you feel comfortable. They do this while achieving the best results possible.

HOW OUR MINNETONKA CAR ACCIDENT LAWYERS CAN HELP

We Handle All Investigations, Negotiations, and Legal Requirements.

Right after a car accident can be the most stressful time for an injured person. You may wonder whether you can work, how you will pay medical bills, how you will afford a new car, and what you’re supposed to do for medical treatment. Insurance companies will flood you with calls and requests to fill out paperwork, and if you say something they can use against you, it may cost you the compensation you deserve. Having an experienced Minnetonka car accident attorney who will handle your case all the way to trial lets the insurance company know you are serious. That increases the chances they will negotiate in good faith for an optimal settlement. When you have our lawyers on your side, we will:

• Meet with you to discuss what happened, determine if you have a case, and estimate what a fair settlement should be.
• Make sure you get the medical treatment you need. Even if you don’t think your injuries are serious, seek medical attention as some injuries get worse over time. Also, it’s a good idea to document everything.
• Investigate your case, gathering evidence from photos and videos of the accident scene, skid marks, damages to your vehicle, and police and medical reports, and interviewing witnesses and first responders.
• Hire experts to reconstruct the crash scene and provide testimony as to fault and how your injuries negatively affect your life into the future.
• Locate all potential at-fault parties.
• Take care of all legal matters, paperwork, filings, and court appearances.
• Handle communications and settlement negotiations with the insurance company and their lawyers.
• Build your case and take it to trial, if necessary, to present it in front of a judge and jury.

COMPENSATION OUR MINNETONKA CAR ACCIDENT ATTORNEYS MAY RECOVER

• Past and future medical bills, rehabilitative expenses, and continuing care
• Pain and suffering
• Past and future wage loss from being unable to work
• Repair or replacement of your vehicle

Car Accident Attorneys in Minnetonka, MN, Must Prove Fault

To win your case, our car accident attorneys have to show that another party was negligent and at fault for causing the accident. And they’ll need to prove this in a timely manner. Since multiple parties can be responsible for the accident, it’s sometimes difficult to analyze fault. For example, a driver who hit you may be at fault, or the manufacturer of an auto part that failed may be at fault, or a road repair company that left debris on the road may have also contributed to the accident. Our attorneys will name every potentially liable party in your lawsuit, as they all may have insurance or assets that can go toward a settlement. There are a complicated set of time limitations that mean you need to contact your Minnetonka, MN, car accident lawyers as soon as possible after the accident. If an important deadline passes, it could bar them from filing your case. Three important deadlines include:

• Six months for no-fault claims
• Six years for most car accident personal injury claims
• Three years for wrongful death lawsuits.

The six-month no-fault claim deadline isn’t a hard deadline, and your attorneys may get around this one. But, it’s a terrible idea to wait to contact an attorney. The attorney needs to be on the case within twenty-four hours at the latest. You risk losing a lot of important evidence if you wait. Your attorney needs to work with your doctors to get a full understanding of your injuries. There are injuries that might seem like nothing immediately after the accident but could devolve into serious injuries as early as the next day.

What Will My Damage Award Be?

Damage amounts can vary in cases that involve car accidents — ranging from thousands to millions of dollars, depending on the factors involved. Cases are worth more if you were paralyzed from a major brain injury or spinal injury, after a devastating crash with a large truck. Factors which may affect a settlement amount include:

• Actual costs of your losses and expenses
• The extent and permanence of your injuries and whether you’ll require continuing care
• Lost earnings and whether you will can work in the future
• Whether a wrongful death was involved in the accident
• The skill and negotiating power of your attorney.
