Financial Awards Our Spinal Cord Injury Attorneys in Willmar Can Try to Help You Win

If you are trying to represent yourself against the insurance company after an accident that causes a spinal cord injury, you might struggle to receive the full award amount you should have. The insurance representative might tell you that the company will treat you fairly, but it has no incentive to do so, because it makes bigger profits by reducing your payout.

When you hire our spinal cord injury lawyers serving Willmar, MN, we have a direct understanding of how insurance companies treat victims like you. We know how to take steps to attempt to maximize your injury payout in both economic and non-economic damages.

Economic Damages

Economic damages are financial awards you can win that have a specific amount associated with them, including:

Medical costs
Lost wages
Lost employee benefits.

It’s easy to calculate these losses because we can measure how many days of work you missed, or we can present your medical bills to the insurance company for an exact amount of payment. That doesn’t mean that the insurer will acknowledge economic damages and automatically pay you for them. The insurer might claim that some of your medical procedures were unnecessary, for example. Our team at Tyroler Leonard Injury Law can present evidence that shows why your medical bills are all legitimate.

Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages do not have a specific amount associated with them and are more subjective. The experience of our spinal cord injury lawyers in Willmar, MN, is valuable here, as we know how to determine the proper amount to request for your pain and suffering, emotional distress, and reduction in quality of life.

We’ll use amounts we requested for non-economic damages in cases similar to yours in the past to make the calculation, along with the severity of your injuries, to determine the correct amount to request in damages.

Attorney Rachel Sperling Leonard has been helping injury victims for nearly a decade. She was named a Super Lawyers Rising Star in 2021. Before becoming an injury lawyer, she worked during college in an insurance company defense department, so she understands the techniques insurers use to try to prevent victims from receiving the maximum amount in a settlement.

After you hire us to represent you, we begin investigating the accident where you suffered your spinal cord injury. This is vital work because we must be able to prove that the other party behaved in a negligent manner to cause your injuries. Without proof of negligence, you would not be eligible to seek a financial award. If the insurance company is trying to blame you for the accident in an effort to reduce or deny your financial claim for your spinal injuries, the facts we uncover during our investigation could keep your lawsuit alive.

We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you do not pay us any money at the time you hire us. Instead, we receive our payment as a percentage of the award amount that we win for you at the end of the case. You owe us nothing if we don’t win your case. Our Willmar spinal cord injury lawyers believe strongly in this type of payment structure, as it allows you to afford the legal representation you need without having to worry about how you’ll pay for it.

Frequently Asked Questions for Our Attorneys for Spinal Cord Injury Accidents in Willmar, MN

It’s common for injury victims to be unsure about what steps to take for seeking a financial award. When you hire our Willmar spinal cord accident law firm, we take the time to answer any questions you have about the case and the process. Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions we hear from our clients, allowing you to gain a feel for how we might represent you in a spinal cord injury lawsuit.

How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit for My Spinal Injury Accident?

In Minnesota, you have up to six years from the date of the accident to file an injury lawsuit. You don’t have to settle the case in the six-year time frame (although you can), but you must at least file the lawsuit within this time. Minnesota Statute section 541.05 sets this deadline.

Do I Really Need to Hire a Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer?

Most people do need to hire a personal injury lawyer for help with the case. Insurance companies rarely treat victims fairly in terms of offering a financial settlement, especially when a severe injury to the spine is involved. Our spinal cord injury lawyers in Willmar can help you combat the efforts of the insurer by presenting evidence that shows why you deserve a larger amount than the insurer may offer initially.

What Is a Spinal Cord Injury Claim Worth?

The value of a spinal cord injury claim in Willmar, MN, depends on the severity of your injuries. Victims who have injuries that permanently affect their ability to live a normal life could win a larger amount than someone who is able to fully recover after a few months. At Tyroler Leonard Injury Law, we’ve won six- and seven-figure past settlement awards for our clients, including multiple awards at those levels in spinal injury accidents. We can potentially give you an estimated value for your case when we meet with you during a free case review.

Do I Have to Go to Court for My Spinal Cord Injury Lawsuit?

Although it is possible that you would have to go to court for your spinal cord injury lawsuit, many cases settle during negotiations before ever going to court. Our injury lawyers will calculate pain and suffering for your spinal injury case, as well as other financial awards you could win, to determine a starting point for negotiations. If the insurance company refuses to agree to our requests for a financial award and to negotiate fairly about your claim, we are proud to fight for your maximum injury award in court.

At Tyroler Leonard Injury Law, we believe strongly in giving our clients the highest level of representation. That’s why we focus on taking the time to answer questions that you have and to regularly update you on the status of the case.
