Edina Personal Injury Lawyer FAQs
People overwhelmed by the aftermath of an accident often have questions about the process for securing legal compensation. These are some of the most common questions our Edina injury lawyers hear.
It’s not always an easy decision to sue someone. However, if you suffered serious injuries due to their actions, you deserve compensation. Contact our experienced team so we can review your case and advise if a personal injury claim is the best path forward.
The Minnesota personal injury statute of limitations is generally six years from the date of the accident. However, there are exceptions that can shorten this deadline. A judge will likely dismiss your case if you don’t file on time, and you will lose your chance to secure compensation. Act quickly to protect your rights.
Your personal injury lawsuit timeline depends on the unique circumstances of your case. Some cases settle in only a few months, but complex cases can take over a year. Factors that affect how long your case takes include the severity of your injuries, how difficult it is to sort out liability, and how cooperative insurance companies are.
Your settlement value depends on factors like your medical bills, lost wages, and the impact your injuries have on your life. Your damages may be in the thousands of dollars or much higher if your accident was severe. For example, we secured $3 million for a client injured in a work-related explosion and $2.5 million for a couple injured in a car crash.
There are several steps in a personal injury lawsuit, including gathering evidence, identifying who was liable, and calculating your damages. We will negotiate aggressively with insurance companies and go to trial if they do not offer a fair settlement. Our team will continue negotiations while preparing to persuasively argue before a judge or jury that you deserve full and fair compensation.
Don’t hesitate to ask your lawyer questions about their professional experience, similar cases they’ve handled, and their track record in settlement negotiations and trials. Ask how often they will update you on the progress of your case and whether they anticipate any difficulties with your claim. Get clarity on their fee structure and whether it can change based on going to trial or other factors.
The personal injury settlement payout process begins once you sign a settlement agreement. The defendant or their insurance company normally writes a check that your lawyer deposits. Your lawyer may have to pay bills from medical providers before distributing funds to you. They will also deduct their legal fees.
To increase your personal injury settlement, seek medical attention immediately and keep up with your follow-up appointments. Gathering detailed evidence will help your attorney build a strong case. For example, keep records of your injuries, lost wages, pain, and suffering.
Importantly, don’t accept an insurance settlement until you know the potential long-term effects of your accident. Finally, hire an experienced personal injury attorney to file your lawsuit before the statute of limitations runs out and to handle settlement negotiations for you.
Most personal injury damages are not taxable, but exceptions exist. For example, punitive damages and damages unrelated to a physical injury are usually considered taxable income. We can help you sort out the tax implications of your settlement or verdict.
