What to do after a car accident?
- Call 911 immediately. Even if you feel fine, adrenaline masks pain. You must get an official police report to document the facts and the other driver’s information.
- Document the scene. Take photos of all vehicles, skid marks, road conditions, and your visible injuries. Gather contact info from any witnesses before they leave.
- Seek medical attention. Go to urgent care or the emergency room the same day. Delaying medical treatment gives the insurance company an excuse to deny your claim later.
- Notify your insurance, but do not give a recorded statement. Report the crash to your provider to trigger your No-Fault benefits. However, never speak to the at-fault driver’s insurance adjuster without your attorney present. They are trained to use your words against you.
Why You Need an Experienced Attorney on Your Side
If you or a loved one has been injured, you should contact a car accident attorney immediately, especially if a loved one dies as a result. By contacting a lawyer right away, you give our team the time and opportunity to assess what happened, gather evidence, and work with the necessary parties to ensure your rights are protected. This process can move quickly, and you want an attorney who can handle every legal facet while you focus on recovering.
Also consider the role of insurance companies. They are businesses looking out for their own bottom line. If you choose to represent yourself, you are taking on a system designed to process an enormous number of auto accidents daily and pay out the minimum settlement possible. They understand every part of this system. This is why it is crucial to have an aggressive lawyer fighting for you.
Should I hire a lawyer after a minor car accident?
It is tempting to simply exchange insurance information and drive away from a minor collision to avoid the hassle. However, Minnesota law requires you to call the police and file a report if there is more than $1,000 in property damage.
More importantly, severe physical trauma is rarely apparent at the scene. Soft tissue injuries like whiplash, herniated discs, and ligament damage often take days to manifest. If you decide to ignore the accident and skip the police report, you make it incredibly difficult to gather evidence after the fact. You will likely lose your ability to file an injury claim. If you are in a minor crash, call the police, see a doctor, and then reach out to 612-INJURED. It costs nothing to have a conversation and protect your rights.

Navigating Medical Bills and Minnesota No-Fault Laws
Car accidents often come with devastating injuries. Typical injuries we see after a serious car accident include:
- Whiplash and chronic neck complications
- Amputations
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal and back injuries
- Psychological damage
Because Minnesota is a No-Fault state, your own auto insurance policy is responsible for covering your initial medical bills up to $20,000, regardless of who caused the crash. But for a serious injury requiring surgery, specialized imaging, or long-term physical therapy, that coverage is exhausted rapidly.
This is where our attorneys step in. We aggressively build your case to pursue the at-fault driver’s liability insurance. Once your damages meet the state threshold, such as accumulating $4,000 in medical expenses or sustaining a permanent injury, we take action against the negligent party. We do not just look at your current hospital bills. We fight to ensure you are fully compensated for your pain, suffering, and any future medical care you will need.
Who Will Pay My Lost Wages?
Minnesota no-fault insurance will also pay up to $20,000 in wage loss benefits. However, it will only pay up to $250 a week. Because this statutory limit is rarely enough to protect your family, our priority is aggressively pursuing the at-fault driver’s bodily injury policy to recover the full balance of your actual lost paychecks. Our lawyers may be able to help you recover additional wage loss and other damages such as compensation for pain and suffering from the at-fault driver.
When Should I Hire an Attorney?
We always suggest reaching out right away. Unless you have a dispute with the insurance company and need our help to receive compensation, our personal injury attorneys are not going to collect any fees. We will simply keep information in your file, answer your questions, and monitor your case to ensure that all goes well.
