Auto Insurance Bodily Injury Claim

An auto insurance bodily injury claim is based on physical injury to a person who was in a traffic accident. The injured person may be a driver of a car or other motor vehicle, passenger, bicyclist or pedestrian. These claims seek compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, disfigurement, disability, loss of quality of life and other damages.

Our Minnesota car accident lawyers have won multimillion dollar cases for people with bodily injury claims and are available for a free consultation. Our law firm is not paid unless you win.
