INJURY | PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER | PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY | INJURIES

In Minnesota, special attention is paid to drivers who cause automobile accidents within one year of receiving their license. According to Minnesota studies, teens have a fatal crash involvement of four-and-a-half times the amount that other, older drivers do. Also, the crashes caused by 16 and 17-year-old drivers totaled more than $10.5 million in hospital charges. However, regardless of what type of personal injury the victim suffers, it is important to file a claim in order to receive compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage.

Minnesota has a two year statute of limitations, meaning that most personal injury claims must be filed within two years. If the case is not filed within that time limit, it can’t be considered as a personal injury case. Victims of personal injury cases should contact a personal injury attorney immediately in order to ensure evidence is properly collected, all court paperwork is filed appropriately and on time, and so they have someone to advise them since the other side will be working hard to prove they aren’t at fault.
