Minnesota Personal Injury Accident Lawyers

Personal injury can include many different types of injuries. In this area of the law, a person injured due to the action or negligence of another party can use a civil action to sue for damages. Examples of a personal injury case can include a motor vehicle accident, a slip and fall, dog bite, or the actions or negligence of someone acting in a professional role.

In order to demonstrate the injury was caused by another party, a personal injury attorney in Minnesota must be able to prove a degree of fault exists. In addition, it is also possible for multiple parties being at fault, with each having some degree of responsibility.
Minnesota personal injury attorneys like Osterbauer Law Firm can help you understand your rights.

The fact is, insurance companies often can offer settlements that are far less than the victim deserves. If you have questions about an offer from either your own insurance company or the insurance company of the person you were in an accident with, call our office today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not all injuries require a personal injury lawyer. However, if the injury is significant or has the potential to create a short or long-term disability, will result in the loss of wages, or requires medical attention, talking to a personal injury attorney provides you with insight into your legal options if the party at fault is not willing to address the damages.
Personal injury attorneys typically charge on a contingency basis. This means they are only paid if you win a settlement, and the cost of the legal services is usually a pre-set percentage of the settlement. This means the injured person does not have to pay anything out of pocket during the legal action.
The time it takes to settle a personal injury lawsuit is determined on a case-by-case basis. The ideal situation is to avoid litigation and to resolve the case through mediation or arbitration, eliminating the need to wait to go to court. Most cases will settle in a few months, but cases with significant legal issues and damages may take longer to settle.
There are many different types of personal injury cases from dog bites through to automobile accidents or even wrongful death cases. Each of these types of personal injury actions has a different range of settlement possibilities. The best way to evaluate the potential settlement range for any personal injury case is to talk to the attorneys at Osterbauer Law Firm.
There are several important steps in filing a personal injury lawsuit. A critical factor is to know the time limit for filing, and this is determined on a state basis, with some variations based on the specifics of the case. In addition, the individual filing the suit has to know the defendants to the suit, and this is important as there may be more than one defendant.
The costs of personal injury claims can include court costs, expert witness costs, the cost of investigators, and the cost of administrative and deposition expenses. Your attorney will explain these costs in advance of the case and also discuss who is responsible for paying the costs.
A personal injury lawyer represents individuals or their survivors in civil legal action to obtain compensation for injuries due to the negligence of others. In most cases, a personal injury lawyer represents a client through all stages of the process, including litigation if necessary.
In most cases, personal injury settlements are not taxable. However, this may not be the case if punitive damages are part of the settlement. In these situations, only the punitive damages awarded are taxable.
PIP or personal injury protection is available as part of automobile insurance. It is also called no-fault insurance as it provides coverage for medical costs related to a car accident regardless of fault.
Payments received through personal injury compensation should not have any impact on SSI benefits. The only issue that can impact benefits is earned income, and a settlement is not earned income.
Personal injury coverage covers medical expenses due to car accidents regardless of who is at fault. Not all states offer or require personal injury protection, and in 30 states, it is not available.
A personal injury occurs when an individual is injured due to the negligence of another. The damages in these cases include compensatory (medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, etc.) as well as the possibility of punitive damages.
