Minneapolis Motor Vehicle Accident Attorneys
Auto accident claims are complex and involve numerous issues. In Minnesota, your own insurance company can become your adversary. At the law firm of Scrimshire, Martineau, Gonko & Vavreck, located in Minneapolis, our attorneys offer a free initial consultation to explain your options and protect your rights.
Our lawyers represent car accident victims in both Minnesota and Wisconsin. Minnesota has a no-fault system, whereas, Wisconsin has a medical payments provision.
Car Accident Claims
Minnesota is a no-fault state for auto accident claims. In a no-fault system your own auto insurance pays claims for medical expenses, lost wages and replacement services (such as cleaning services and personal assistance), regardless of who is at fault. We can handle your claim even if you were at fault. Depending on the seriousness of your injury, you may also have a claim for pain and suffering and other damages against the at-fault driver's insurance company. Our experienced attorneys can assess your situation and explain your rights.
Many insurance companies are becoming more aggressive in denying benefits, especially those for soft-tissue injuries, such as whiplash, neck injuries and back injuries. However, neck and back pain can affect you for months or even years into the future. SMGV has a proven track record of getting insurance companies to pay benefits in soft tissue cases.
If you have suffered a catastrophic injury, such as a herniated disc, brain injury or spinal cord injury, you will likely need ongoing care for the rest of your life. Our lawyers work tirelessly to help you the compensation you deserve.
Truck Accident Claims
Claims involving commercial vehicles including semis can be even more complex. Often several insurance policies are involved, as the driver, vehicle and trailer may all have separate insurance policies. Determining which insurance company should pay benefits and obtaining those benefits for you is SMGV's job and we do it well.
