Car Accident Laws in Minnesota
Minnesota is a “no-fault” insurance state, meaning that after a car accident, your own insurance company typically covers your medical expenses and certain other losses, regardless of who caused the crash. This coverage is called Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and generally includes:
- Medical expenses (up to $20,000)
- Lost wages (up to $20,000)
- Replacement services for household help
- Funeral expenses, if applicable
However, serious injury cases often exceed the limits of no-fault coverage. You can pursue a liability claim or lawsuit against the at-fault driver if you meet one of Minnesota’s “threshold” requirements, such as:
- Permanent disfigurement
- Permanent injury
- Medical expenses over $4,000
- Disability for more than 60 days
Our Minneapolis car accident attorney from Tamburino Law Group can determine whether your injuries meet these thresholds and help you pursue the compensation you deserve beyond PIP limits.
Where Do Crashes Often Happen in Minneapolis?
Minneapolis sees thousands of traffic collisions every year, many occurring in high-traffic or high-speed areas. Common accident hotspots include:
- Interstate 94 (I-94) – Frequent congestion and merging traffic create dangerous conditions.
- Hennepin Avenue and Lyndale Avenue – Busy intersections prone to rear-end and T-bone collisions.
- Highway 62 and I-35W interchanges – Complex lane changes and fast-moving vehicles often result in severe crashes.
- Downtown Minneapolis streets – Distracted driving and pedestrian activity contribute to frequent accidents.
- Residential areas – Speeding and failure to yield lead to collisions in neighborhoods and school zones.
Whether your accident happened on a major highway or a city street, our legal team knows how to investigate and build a strong case on your behalf.
Common Crash Injuries
Car accidents can cause a wide range of injuries, from minor bruises to life-altering conditions. Some of the most frequent include:
- Whiplash and soft tissue injuries
- Broken bones and fractures
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Internal bleeding or organ damage
- Facial injuries and disfigurement
- Emotional trauma, such as PTSD
Even seemingly minor symptoms can indicate serious underlying injuries. Always seek medical care immediately after an accident, then contact a Minneapolis car accident lawyer to protect your right to compensation.
Recovering Compensation
If your accident meets Minnesota’s threshold for a personal injury claim, you may be entitled to recover damages for:
- Medical expenses: Current and future treatment, hospital stays, physical therapy, medications, and rehabilitation.
- Lost wages: Income lost due to time off work or reduced earning capacity.
- Pain and suffering: Physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life.
- Property damage: Vehicle repairs or replacement costs.
- Loss of consortium: Impact on your relationship with a spouse or family member.
At Tamburino Law Group, we meticulously document every loss and negotiate aggressively with insurance companies to ensure our clients receive full and fair compensation. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, our trial-tested attorneys are prepared to take your case to court.
Car Accident Claim FAQs
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Minnesota?
You generally have six years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit, though certain cases may have shorter deadlines. Contact an attorney as soon as possible to preserve your rights.
What if I was partially at fault for the crash?
Minnesota follows a modified comparative fault rule. You can still recover damages as long as you were less than 50% at fault, but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
Do I need a lawyer if I have insurance?
Yes. Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts. An experienced Minneapolis car accident lawyer can handle negotiations, gather evidence, and make sure you receive the compensation you deserve.
How much does it cost to hire a car accident lawyer?
Tamburino Law Group works on a contingency fee basis — meaning you pay no upfront fees. We only get paid if we recover compensation for you.
What should I do after a car accident?
- Call 911 and seek medical attention.
- Exchange information with the other driver.
- Take photos and gather witness statements.
- Report the crash to your insurance company.
- Contact a Minneapolis car accident attorney before speaking to the other party’s insurer.
