How do I know if I have a personal injury case?

You may have a valid personal injury claim if you were injured due to someone else’s negligence—such as in a car accident, slip and fall, or other preventable incident. To determine if you have a case, we must establish that the responsible party owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, and caused your injuries. Contact us for a free consultation to evaluate your specific situation.

How much is my personal injury case worth?

The value of a personal injury case depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any long-term impact on your life. Our attorneys will assess your case, gather evidence, and work with experts to ensure you receive fair compensation for economic and non-economic damages.

What if I was partially at fault for my injury? Can I still recover compensation?

Yes, Minnesota follows a comparative negligence rule, which means you may still be able to recover damages even if you were partially at fault. However, your compensation will be reduced by the percentage of your fault. For example, if you were found 20% responsible, your settlement would be reduced by 20%. Our attorneys will work to minimize your percentage of fault and maximize your recovery.

Understanding Long-Term Care and Future Expenses

A serious injury can have long-lasting consequences, often requiring ongoing medical treatment, rehabilitation, and lifestyle adjustments. Many victims underestimate the financial burden of long-term care, which is why it is critical to seek compensation that reflects both immediate and future expenses.

Some injuries may result in permanent disabilities that prevent victims from returning to work or living independently. Compensation should cover medical equipment, in-home care, physical therapy, and any modifications needed to accommodate disabilities.

Our firm works closely with medical professionals, vocational experts, and financial analysts to ensure that all future needs are factored into your claim.

Northfield Personal Injury Cases

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

Car Accidents

Auto accidents are one of the leading causes of personal injury claims. Whether you were involved in a rear-end collision, a head-on crash, or a hit-and-run, we will thoroughly investigate the accident, gather evidence, and negotiate with the insurance company to secure a fair settlement. We are prepared to take your case to court to fight for your rights if necessary.

Truck Accidents

Due to their size and weight, commercial truck accidents often result in devastating injuries. Trucking companies and insurers aggressively defend against claims, making it crucial to have an attorney with experience in these complex cases. We analyze factors such as driver fatigue, improper maintenance, and overloaded cargo to build a strong case for compensation.

Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents

When pedestrians or cyclists are struck by motor vehicles, the injuries can be catastrophic. Our firm fights for victims who have been injured due to reckless drivers, failure to yield, or distracted driving.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists face unique dangers on the road, often suffering severe injuries in collisions with larger vehicles. We advocate for the rights of motorcyclists injured due to negligent drivers, unsafe road conditions, or defective motorcycle parts.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Property owners have a legal obligation to maintain safe premises for visitors. If you suffered injuries due to hazardous conditions on someone else’s property, such as wet floors, poor lighting, or icy walkways, we can help you file a premises liability claim.

Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one due to negligence is a heartbreaking experience. We help families pursue wrongful death claims to seek justice and financial stability after a preventable tragedy.

What is Negligence in a Personal Injury Case?

Most personal injury claims are based on negligence, meaning another person’s careless or reckless actions caused your injury. To win your case, we must prove:

Duty of Care: The party responsible owed you a duty of care (e.g., drivers must follow traffic laws).

Breach of Duty: They failed to uphold that duty (e.g., distracted driving, unsafe premises).

Causation: Their actions directly led to your injury.

Damages: You suffered losses like medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

For example, a driver who runs a red light and causes a collision has breached their duty of care by failing to obey traffic laws. Similarly, a store owner who neglects to clean up a spill may be responsible if a customer slips and suffers an injury. Victims can file a personal injury claim to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other losses in these situations.

Understanding Comparative Negligence in Minnesota

In Minnesota, personal injury cases operate under a comparative negligence system, meaning that if the injured party is partially at fault for the accident, their compensation may be reduced by their percentage of responsibility. If you are found to be 20% at fault for your injuries, your total settlement will be reduced by 20%. 

Because insurance companies often try to shift blame onto victims to minimize payouts, it is crucial to have a skilled Northfield personal injury attorney who can counter these tactics and ensure that you receive fair compensation.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Minnesota?

In most cases, Minnesota law allows you to file a personal injury claim within six years from the date of the injury. However, certain cases, such as wrongful death or medical malpractice, may have different deadlines. Contacting an attorney as soon as possible is essential to ensure you do not miss important filing deadlines.

What should I do after an accident to protect my claim?

After an accident, take the following steps to protect your rights:

1. Seek medical attention immediately, even if you do not feel injured immediately.

2. Report the accident to the appropriate authorities, such as the police or property owner.

3. Gather evidence, including photos, witness contact information, and any documentation of your injuries.

4. Do not admit fault or provide statements to insurance companies without consulting an attorney.

Contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to discuss your case.

Will my case go to trial or be settled out of court?

Most personal injury cases are settled out of court through negotiations with insurance companies. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, we are prepared to take your case to trial. We will keep you informed throughout the process and fight for the best possible outcome.

How long does it take to resolve a personal injury case?

The timeline for resolving a personal injury case varies depending on the case's complexity, the injuries' severity, and the insurance company's willingness to settle. Some cases settle within a few months, while others may take a year or longer if litigation is necessary. Our attorneys will work efficiently to move your case forward while ensuring you receive the full compensation you deserve.

What if the insurance company offers me a settlement? Should I accept it?

No. Insurance companies often offer quick settlements far lower than victims deserve. Accepting an early settlement may prevent you from seeking additional compensation later, even if your medical condition worsens. Before accepting any offer, consult with a personal injury attorney to determine if it is fair and sufficient to cover all your damages.

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?

At Irwin Law Office, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you do not pay any legal fees unless we win your case. Our fees are a percentage of your final settlement or verdict, so there are no upfront or out-of-pocket expenses. If we do not secure compensation for you, you owe us nothing.
