Experienced Representation Through Your Motor Vehicle Accident Claim
At the Law Office of Jeffrey A. Jones, P.A., we focus only on motor vehicle accident claims and litigation. We have been advocating for Minnesota accident victims and their families for many years and are ready to help you secure the compensation you need and deserve.
At your first meeting with us, we will take the time to listen to your story and understand how your life has been impacted. Our Minneapolis motor vehicle accident lawyers will explain clearly how the law affects you and help you understand your right to compensation through insurance companies. We will also provide honest feedback about the merits of your claim and what a realistic recovery might look like.
Representation After A Wide Array Of Motor Vehicle Accident Scenarios
Our team of skilled trial attorneys has been representing Minnesota auto accident victims since 2001. They have considerable experience in all types of motor vehicle accident claims, including:
Car accidents: Whether you were injured by a drunk driver, a texting driver or someone who was speeding and driving aggressively, our legal team will fully investigate the crash to determine how it happened and build a case against the at-fault driver.
Truck accidents: Semi trucks and other large commercial vehicles are a common sight on Minnesota roads and highways. If you suffered catastrophic injuries due to a truck driver’s negligence, our firm can help you seek compensation from the trucking company, truck driver, insurer and any other liable parties.
Pedestrian and bicyclist accidents: Infrastructure in the Twin Cities metro was designed around cars, which increases the risks bicyclists and pedestrians already face. We work to hold inattentive drivers accountable for serious injuries they inflict on non-motorized travelers.
Motorcycle accidents: It is also common for drivers to overlook the presence of motorcyclists, and riders are nearly as vulnerable in a crash as bicyclists and pedestrians are. If you were injured in a serious motorcycle accident, we want to help you seek full and fair compensation.
Bus and transit accidents: Were you struck by a city bus, taxi cab, Uber/ Lyft, or a light-rail train? Were you injured as a passenger? If so, our legal team will help you understand and exercise your legal options. Litigation involving government entities can be complex and time-sensitive, so it is important to consult a lawyer as soon as reasonably possible.
Sadly, motor vehicle accidents are often fatal. If you’ve lost a loved one in a fatal crash caused by negligence, our firm can help you pursue a wrongful death claim against any liable parties.
Types Of Damages You Can Claim
If you have been hurt in a motor vehicle accident, Minnesota law allows you to seek compensation for losses tied to the crash. Our team can work to identify every category of damages applicable to your case, including:
• Medical expenses: Coverage for hospital bills, surgeries, rehabilitation, medications and ongoing care related to your injuries.
• Lost income: Reimbursement for wages lost during recovery, including reduced earning capacity if injuries prevent a return to your previous job.
• Vehicle repairs: Costs to repair or replace your damaged vehicle and other personal property.
• Pain and suffering: Compensation for physical discomfort, emotional distress and reduced quality of life caused by the accident.
• Wrongful death: If you lost a family member, you may recover funeral expenses, loss of financial support and emotional grief under Minnesota’s wrongful death statutes.
With the Minnesota-modified comparative fault rules, your compensation may adjust if you are found partially at fault. As your legal defender, we will clarify how this applies to your claim and fight to minimize any unfair reductions.
Factors That Influence Your Claim’s Value
The value of a motor vehicle accident claim depends on several key details:
• Severity of injuries: Long-term disabilities or chronic conditions typically result in higher settlements due to increased medical needs and life impacts.
• Evidence strength: Clear documentation, like police reports, witness statements and medical records, helps prove liability and justify your losses.
• Insurance policy limits: Minnesota requires drivers to carry minimum coverage, but higher policy limits or underinsured motorist coverage can affect recoverable amounts.
• Impact on daily life: When calculating noneconomic damages, how injuries disrupt your routine, relationships or ability to enjoy hobbies is considered.
• Shared fault disputes: If the insurer wrongfully blames you, we challenge their claims to help protect your right to fair compensation.
Having been in the industry long enough to see different cases, we understand that every case is unique. So, no matter the nature of your case, we can analyze timelines, communication with insurers and legal deadlines to avoid missteps that could lower your recovery.
