Rochester Personal Injury Lawyer

Metro Attorney represents people injured in Rochester and southeastern Minnesota — Byron, Stewartville, Kasson, Austin, Owatonna, Winona, and the communities along Highways 52, 14, and 63 and I-90. Rochester’s mix of commuter traffic, out-of-town visitors, and heavy construction, together with rural two-lane highways across the region, produces car, truck, motorcycle, and pedestrian injuries every year. We handle every case on a contingent fee: free consultation, and no fee unless we win.

Injury claims in Rochester and Olmsted County

Many people injured in Rochester are visitors — patients and families in town for medical care — who then return home and try to manage a Minnesota insurance claim from another state. Minnesota’s no-fault system, its comparative fault rule, and its deadlines all differ from other states’, and insurers count on out-of-town claimants not knowing the difference. We handle the claim from here, keep you informed wherever you are, and coordinate with your treating providers. For local residents, we obtain reports from the Rochester Police Department, the Olmsted County Sheriff, or the Minnesota State Patrol and preserve camera and vehicle evidence before it is gone.
