When involved in an auto accident in Minnesota there are two claims that are available to you. One claim against the person that caused the accident and another is a no-fault claim with your own insurance company for your medical bills and any lost income associated with the accident. The more substantial claim is usually the negligence claim against the driver who caused the accident. The negligent driver is liable to pay you monetary damages for all of your property damage, injuries, and pain and suffering. Courts look to a number of factors in determining whether a driver was negligent. Some of these factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
● Disobeying traffic signs or signals
● Failing to signal while turning
● Driving above or below the posted speed limit
● Disregarding weather or traffic conditions
● Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
Your Minneapolis car accident lawyers will help you establish negligence and get you the monetary compensation you deserve.
