What to Do after a Minnesota Auto Accident

If you have been injured in a Minnesota auto accident, you need to contact your insurance agent and promptly report the accident.  Your insurance policy may require you to cooperate with your insurance company.  However, your insurance company is going to look out for its own interests before it looks out for yours, so it’s a good idea to talk to a lawyer before you talk to your insurance company.

If your auto accident involved another vehicle, you will be called by representatives of the other insurance company.  Whatever you say can be used against you, so DO NOT TALK TO THEM. Their goal is to settle the case as soon as possible for as little as possible, and they can be relentless.  If you retain our law firm, we will contact the insurance company and tell them to stop calling you and deal with us instead.

As soon as you are able, keep a daily journal of how you feel physically, emotionally and mentally.  Write down the story of how the injuries from the accident are affecting your life. If your child was injured, keep a journal about your child’s life after the accident.  This will be important when we seek compensation for you and your family.
