Minneapolis St. Paul Car Accident and Insurance Claim Attorneys
When people are injured in a car accident, they are usually still suffering the after effects of the accident when the other driver's insurance carrier contacts them. Sometimes they don't think of protecting their own interests at this critical time. They don't gather and document evidence, and they don't talk to witnesses. This is why you want to contact an experienced attorney as soon as possible after the accident; we know what information to gather, the witnesses to interview and the evidence that needs to be preserved.
Insurance Claims Examiners telephone auto, truck, motorcycle, taxi-cab, bus, bicycle or pedestrian accident victims NOT to help the victim. Rather, insurance companies call to limit the potential of auto accident injury claimants by obtaining statements insurers later hope to use against those injured in a car crash. If you’ve been injured in an accident and been telephoned by a claims examiner, call Krug & Zupke immediately.

We can answer your questions about Minnesota's no-fault insurance system and help you understand specific threshold amounts required by Minnesota motor vehicle liability law, before you can sue the other driver.
What is no-fault insurance and how does it affect me?
The Minnesota No-Fault Act provides that your own insurance company usually pays up to $20,000 of your medical bills and provides for some lost wages, regardless of whose fault the accident was. For damages greater than what no-fault insurance pays, like damage to your vehicle and yourself, the insurance company for the at-fault driver is the one that should pay. Additionally, personal injury victims are entitled to sue for money damages to help compensate them for:
- Unpaid medical and hospital bills
- Physical disability
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Unpaid lost wages
- Property damage
We talk with clients about how insurance laws may affect them and offer advice on the best course of action for recovering compensation to meet their specific needs.
