There are two parts to a motor vehicle accident : No-Fault and Liability.
NO-FAULT:
Many people don't understand how the Minnesota No-Fault Act applies to their case. Here is a brief summary of how No-Fault works:
In order to have No-Fault coverage there must be an accident causing an injury which results in a loss arising out of the maintenance or use of a motor vehicle or an injury resulting from being hit as a pedestrian by a motor vehicle. Your No-Fault coverage comes from your insurance carrier and typically offers $20,000 in medical coverage and $20,000 in wage loss coverage. We strongly recommend reviewing your insurance coverage to be sure of the amount. If your insurance company is denying you no-fault benefits or has recently cut your benefits off, you should consult with a lawyer right away.
LIABILITY:
This is the second part of an accident arising out of the maintenance or use of a motor vehicle. In order to bring a liability claim, the injured party must meet at least 1 of 4 requirements:
- Sixty days of disability;
- Scarring or disfigurement;
- $4,000 in medical care (not including diagnostics);
- Having a permanent injury.
If an injured party can meet one of the above four requirements, a claim can be made against the driver that caused the accident. Damages for which you can seek compensation include past and future pain and suffering, loss of earnings and earning capacity, loss of enjoyment of life, and other damages particular to your circumstances. In addition, the accident must have been more the fault of the other driver than your fault.
An attorney can help you bring your liability claim and negotiate a settlement, or sometimes an attorney needs to put the case into suit. If you would like additional information concerning your legal rights arising from your automobile accident, please call Coodin & Overson, PLLP.
