Personal Injuries…
Automobile Collisions:Minnesota is a "no-fault" state, which means that the injured party must pursue a claim with his/her own insurance company for medical expenses, mileage reimbursement, wage loss and replacement services reimbursement no matter who was at fault for the accident.
If what is called a "tort threshold," a substantial level of loss, is met, an injured party can also pursue a claim for additional benefits, such as pain and suffering, disability, future medical bills, and future lost wages.
Pursuant to state law, the tort threshold involves a permanent injury, more than $4,000 in medical bills, a 60 day disability, scarring or disfigurement, or death. Retaining an experienced attorney promptly will help ensure that all benefits are pursued.
