A car crash can upend your life in seconds — medical bills, missed work, and insurance adjusters who call before you’ve even left the hospital. Metro Attorney represents drivers, passengers, and families across Crystal, New Hope, Robbinsdale, Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center, Golden Valley, and the greater Minneapolis–St. Paul metro after collisions of every kind, from rear-end crashes on Bass Lake Road to serious wrecks on Highway 100, I-94, and I-494.

How we help after a crash

We handle the insurance companies, document your injuries, and pursue the full value of your claim so you can focus on recovering. Minnesota is a no-fault state, which changes how medical expenses and wage loss are paid — we’ll explain exactly what that means for your situation and protect your right to pursue the at-fault driver when your injuries qualify.

• Rear-end, intersection, and highway collisions
• Distracted, drunk, and reckless driving
• Uninsured and underinsured motorist claims
• Hit-and-run and multi-vehicle crashes
• Crashes involving commercial vehicles and rideshares

What a car accident claim can recover

Depending on the facts, a Minnesota car accident claim can include past and future medical expenses, lost wages and reduced earning capacity, replacement services — help around the house you now have to pay for — and compensation for pain, disability, and disfigurement. We work with your providers to document the full picture before any settlement discussion begins, because once you settle, you can’t come back for more.

How the process works

1. Free consultation. Tell us what happened; we’ll explain your options the same day whenever possible.
2. Investigation. We gather the crash report, photos, witness statements, and medical records, and put every insurer on notice.
3. Treatment first. You focus on getting better while your no-fault benefits are set up correctly so bills get paid as the claim develops.
4. Demand and negotiation. When your medical picture is clear, we present a documented demand and negotiate from evidence.
5. Litigation if needed. Most claims settle; if the insurer won’t be fair, we file suit and litigate.

Common questions about Minnesota car accident claims

What should I do right after a crash?

Get medical attention, report the collision, and document the scene and damage if you’re able. Be cautious about giving a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurer before speaking with an attorney — early statements can be used to reduce what you recover.

Who pays my medical bills while my claim is pending?

Minnesota is a no-fault state, so your own PIP (personal injury protection) coverage generally pays initial medical expenses and a portion of lost wages regardless of who caused the crash. When injuries are serious enough to meet Minnesota’s threshold, you may also pursue the at-fault driver for additional compensation.

How long do I have to act?

The statute of limitations for most Minnesota injury claims is generally six years, but no-fault benefits carry much shorter notice and application deadlines — so it’s best not to wait.

What if the other driver didn’t have insurance?

Minnesota auto policies include uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. If the at-fault driver has no insurance or too little, your own UM/UIM coverage may pay the difference — and using it should not raise your rates for a crash you didn’t cause.

Can I still recover if the crash was partly my fault?

Usually yes. Minnesota’s comparative fault rule reduces your recovery by your percentage of fault, and bars it only if you were more at fault than the other driver.

What is my case worth?

No honest lawyer can tell you at the first call. Value depends on the severity and permanence of your injuries, your medical expenses and wage loss, and how clearly fault can be proven. What we can promise is a documented, evidence-based demand — not a guess.
