Car accidents can turn lives upside down in an instant, leaving victims grappling with physical pain, emotional trauma, and mounting financial burdens. From significant injuries that alter daily life to the overwhelming costs of medical care and vehicle repairs, the aftermath of a collision is often as distressing as the incident itself.

Determining liability in these cases is no easy task, either. Factors such as road conditions, driver behavior, and insurance policies require a thorough, informed review.

Received an Insurance Settlement Offer? Consult an Attorney Before Accepting.

After a car accident, it is common for insurance companies to approach victims with quick settlement offers. While these may seem tempting, especially when dealing with medical expenses and other financial stresses, accepting a settlement too soon can have serious consequences. Insurance companies often propose amounts that undervalue the true cost of your injuries, which could leave you struggling to cover future expenses like ongoing medical care, rehabilitation, or lost income.

Consulting with our attorney at Butwinick Injury Law before agreeing to any settlement allows you to fully understand the scope of your claim. Attorney Butwinick can accurately assess the accident's impact on your life and future needs and then review the offer to determine if it is adequate. If it is in your best interests, he can negotiate aggressively with insurance adjusters to pursue maximum compensation, and should they refuse to offer a fair amount, Attorney Butwinick and our supporting team are prepared to take your case to court.

Minnesota's Statute of Limitations for Car Accident Injury Claims

If you have been injured in a car accident, understanding the timeline for filing a legal claim (called a "statute of limitations") is crucial. A statute of limitations is a legal deadline determining how long you have to take action after an incident occurs. For personal injury claims in Minnesota, including those stemming from car accidents, this statute is generally set at two years from the accident date.

Failing to file a claim within this period usually means you lose the right to seek compensation for injuries, no matter how severe or clear the liability. This is why you should not wait to take action after a car accident. The sooner you reach out to partner with our attorney, the quicker he and our team can collect and preserve evidence, interview witnesses, and begin crafting a compelling case to support your claim.
