What is my Auto-Bicycle Accident in Minnesota Worth?

Our Minnesota attorneys look at a number of factors to determine what your auto-bicycle accident case is worth:

  • Personal Injury or Wrongful Death. If you were hit by an automobile while riding your bike and the driver was at fault, you have a personal injury claim against the driver if you were hurt in the accident. If your child, spouse, parent, or other family member died in a auto-bicycle accident and the driver was at fault, you have a wrongful death claim against the driver. It is generally the driver's insurance company that pays the claim and defends the driver if he or she is sued.
  • The Severity of Your Injuries. In many cases a person does not know how severe his or her injuries are until days or weeks after the accident. Even mild traumatic brain injury can cause enough harm to require a change in jobs or other lifestyle changes.
  • How Your Injuries Affect You as an Individual. The same injury can impact two people very differently. For example, a broken finger to most people is not that severe an injury. If you happen to be a concert pianist, however, a broken finger can be a terrible loss. Thus, it's important that we know a lot about you and how your injuries have impacted your life.
  • Your Medical Bills and Expected Future Medical Expenses. We hire medical experts to determine what your expected future medical expenses will be. In Minnesota, $20,000 of this is covered with no-fault insurance.
  • Your Lost Wages and Expected Future Lost Wages. Although one would think this is a simple calculation, it can be extremely complex, depending on the facts. When necessary, we hire experts to calculate expected future lost wages and other income. Less than $20,000 of this is covered with no-fault insurance.
  • Pain and Suffering. Pain and suffering is not compensated with Minnesota no-fault insurance. The at-fault driver in a bicycle accident can be sued for pain and suffering. In cases where there is an issue of fault, we hire accident reconstruction specialists. Pain and suffering includes amounts for physical pain, emotional distress, disfigurement, disability, loss of quality of life and other intangible losses.

Every case is different, and we have had enough experience with auto-bicycle accidents to know how to determine how much money you should seek in a lawsuit against the at-fault driver.
