Common questions about Minnesota pedestrian accident claims

Who pays my medical bills if a car hit me while I was walking?

In Minnesota, no-fault (PIP) benefits typically cover initial medical expenses and wage loss when a motor vehicle strikes a pedestrian — often through the vehicle involved or your own auto policy — even though you were on foot.

The driver claims I was jaywalking. Can I still recover?

Possibly. Under Minnesota’s comparative fault rule, sharing some responsibility doesn’t automatically bar a claim; your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault as long as you aren’t found more at fault than the driver.

What evidence helps a pedestrian case?

Crosswalk and signal timing, traffic-camera or doorbell footage, vehicle damage, and witness statements all help establish how the collision happened and who was responsible.
