Minneapolis Car Accident Lawyer
Consequences of Minneapolis Car Accidents
There are thousands of motor vehicle accidents on Minneapolis roads each year. A high percentage of those accidents will result in an injury to the car driver or passengers, including broken bones, burns, paralysis, amputation, traumatic brain injury, whiplash, a herniated disc, spinal cord injury and even wrongful death. If you've been injured in a car accident, our Minneapolis car accident lawyers can help.
Once the six year statute of limitations expires (two years in wrongful death cases), you lose your right to file a claim. This type of case is time sensitive; a lawyer may be able to help you win compensation for the pain and suffering you have endured if you act before the statute of limitations ends.
Common Causes of Car Accidents
In order to recover damages for injuries sustained in a car accident, it must be proven that the other driver was careless or negligent in the operation of their motor vehicle or that the vehicle itself was defective in some manner. A knowledgeable personal injury lawyer can conduct a thorough evaluation in regards to proving any negligence on the part of the other driver involved.
Some car accidents entail an injury not only to other car drivers and passengers, but also pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcyclists. Some common causes of car accidents include:
- Drunk Driving
- Failure to Yield
- Rear-End Collisions
- T-Bone Accidents
- Failure to Stop
- Inattentive Driving
- Vehicle Rollovers
- Driver Fatigue
- Blown Tires
