Auto Accidents

Motor vehicle accidents are a common occurrence in our mobile society.  Auto accidents are also a leading cause of injury and death.  For that reason, Minnesota drivers are required to carry auto insurance providing a minimum of $20,000 in medical benefits and up to $20,000 in economic benefits.

When it comes to auto accidents, Minnesota is a “no-fault” state.  This means that regardless of who caused the accident, your own insurance policy must pay your medical bills and wage loss as long as they are considered reasonable, necessary, and related to the injuries resulting from the accident.

A person involved in an auto accident may have a no-fault claim against their own insurance company, as well as a liability claim against the other driver’s insurance company. The attorneys at McCarten Law Firm in Alexandria, MN work with clients to ensure that wage loss, replacement services, medical bills, prescriptions, and mileage are compensated by the client’s own insurance company.  In addition to the no-fault claim, our attorneys complete an investigation of each auto accident and assist clients in preparing a liability claim.

Our goal is to ensure that injured clients are compensated for that which they are entitled, allowing the client to focus on recovery without the stress of dealing with insurance companies.  If you have been in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident and need legal advice, call McCarten Law Firm to arrange a free initial consultation with one of our personal injury lawyers.
