How Minnesota’s No-Fault Insurance Works After A Car Accident
Minnesota is a no-fault insurance state. After a crash, your own auto insurance covers initial medical expenses and lost wages through no-fault benefits, also called basic economic loss coverage, regardless of who caused the accident.
However, when your injury is serious or your costs exceed those limits, you may have the right to file a claim against the at-fault driver. Knowing when to take that step is where experienced legal guidance makes a real difference.
What Can You Recover After A Motor Vehicle Accident In Minnesota?
Minnesota law may allow you to file a claim against the at-fault driver when your injuries or losses exceed no-fault coverage. The compensation available to you may include:
- Medical expenses, past and future
- Disability and disfigurement
- Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Out-of-pocket accident-related expenses
- Property damage
We can review your case and help you understand the full scope of what you can recover.
