Minnesota Car Accident Injury

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

mn-ambulance-1 Minnesota Car Accident InjuryMore than two million people are the victims of a car accident injury each year in the United States. The majority of car accidents, resulting in car accident injury, are due to negligence on the part of one or both of the drivers. Negligence is defined as failure to exercise a degree of care that is necessary in order to prevent damage or car accident injury.

Victims of a car accident injury have the legal right to seek compensation for:

  • medical expenses
  • loss of income
  • loss of earning potential

  • property damage (usually settled under no-fault)

If the car accident injury was the result of an accident due to a defect, a product liability claim may also be filed. The defects may be the result of a:

  • flawed design
  • manufacturing error
  • defective part
  • negligent repair job

After you have called the police, exchanged driver information, and notified your insurance company about the accident; it is in your best interests to seek legal counsel.
