Bloomington Car Accident Lawyer FAQs
It’s normal to have questions after a car accident. Our Bloomington car accident attorneys have answered some of the most common questions we receive below.
You are not required to hire a lawyer after an accident, but it’s generally in your best interest. Hiring a lawyer greatly improves your chances of receiving fair compensation for your injuries. Because we charge no upfront fees and offer free consultations, there’s no risk in speaking with our Minnesota car accident lawyers to find out how we can help you.
The Minnesota car accident statute of limitations is normally six years. However, exceptions may apply. For example, wrongful death lawsuits must be filed within three years of the death, and product liability lawsuits must be filed within four years. In all cases, missing the correct deadline will result in your claim being dismissed in court. Do not wait to take legal action.
We represent our personal injury clients on a contingency fee basis, meaning our fees are calculated as a pre-negotiated percentage of your settlement or verdict. There are no out-of-pocket costs, and you pay us nothing unless we recover compensation on your behalf.
The value of a car accident claim depends on many factors, such as injury severity, available insurance coverage, and the defendant’s liability. Compensation in car accident cases ranges widely from a few thousand dollars to millions. Our attorneys can estimate the value of your claim after investigating the facts of the accident and evaluating your injuries and losses.
Most car accident settlements are not taxable. However, punitive damages and damages that cannot be tied back to an injury are taxable. Other tax rules exist for any interest you receive on settlement proceeds and previously deducted medical expenses.
Yes, you can file a car accident claim without a police report. However, your case will be stronger if you have a police report officially documenting the accident. It’s best to contact the police as soon as possible after a car accident in Minnesota so a report can be prepared. If an accident results in injury or death, involved drivers are legally required to make a report.
The laws of the jurisdictions where the accident occurred will apply if you get into a car accident out of state. As a Minnesota driver, your mandatory no-fault personal injury protection (PIP) insurance company will cover you in most cases. If you get into an accident in a fault state, the at-fault driver’s insurance company must cover your damages—even if you’re a Minnesota resident.
