Striving For Fair Compensation For Car Accident Injuries

Obtaining fair compensation and the medical care needed after a car accident is not something that comes without some kind of action. Typically, the only way to acquire the needed compensation is through the representation of a knowledgeable personal injury lawyer. By obtaining the proper compensation the accident victim needs, he or she can take the time to recover rather than worry about how they are going to pay the bills.

Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accidents In Minnesota

Do you want to know your rights after a car accident? Here are some questions you may have:

What should I do immediately after a car accident?

If you have been in a car accident, it is crucial to call for emergency help. The police should arrive at the scene of the accident. They will make a police report detailing the parties involved in the accident, the time and location of the accident and how the accident may have occurred. This report is a crucial document for a successful auto accident claim.

Paramedics can also arrive at the accident to care for your wounds. You may be transported to a hospital to have your wounds treated by professional medical practitioners. A medical report can detail the impact of your injuries on your life.

After receiving emergency care, you can contact an attorney to learn how to begin a car accident claim and protect your interests before you speak to the insurance company.

What if the other driver doesn’t have insurance? Can I still file a claim?

Yes. Minnesota requires drivers to have uninsured motorist coverage. This coverage helps ensure people who are injured by uninsured drivers can still recover compensation. A driver can file a claim with their own insurance company after an accident with an uninsured driver. A claim could also be filed against the uninsured driver to recover damages.

What types of compensation can I receive after a car accident?

There are two types of compensation that you could recover from a successful car accident case: economic and noneconomic damages.

Economic damages are tangible losses that are caused by bills, debts and other financial obligations. Medical bills are one of the most common types of economic damages, often caused by hospital stays, rehabilitation, medical procedures, medical equipment, medication and long-term care. Wages lost during recovery and future lost income are two types of economic damages. Another type of economic damage includes bills for funeral expenses and burial or cremation costs that the surviving family members had to pay after a fatal car accident.

Noneconomic damages are intangible losses. Some types of intangible include emotional turmoil, stress, anxiety, depression, loss of enjoyment from life, pain and suffering, and loss of companionship. Intangible losses cannot be compensated with money, so calculating the impact of intangible losses is often more difficult.

Mr. Stephens can help evaluate the impact of a car accident and help calculate the value of a case.
