FYI -- Minnesota is a no-fault state.  The term no-fault refers to the fact that, in most cases, the medical costs, wage loss, and certain other expenses of a person injured in a collision will be paid by the insurance under which the injured person is insured, without regard to who was at fault in the collision.  The trade-off for receiving these relatively automatic insurance payments is that only certain injured parties can sue the at-fault party for other damages (for example, pain and suffering).  In order to sue for damages outside the coverage of the no-fault insurance policy, the injured party must meet one of four criteria:  (1) the injured party’s medical expenses (not counting diagnostic expenses) must be $4,000.00 or more; or (2) the injured party must have been disabled for 60 days or more; or (3) the injured party must have suffered a permanent injury; or (4) the injured party must have died as a result of the injuries.

The law requires that automobile accident claims be commenced within a certain amount of time, or you lose your right to present any claim.  Don’t delay in contacting an experienced Minnesota automobile accident lawyer today.
