Minnesota Motorcycle Accident Attorney

Motorcycle Accident Injury Claims in Minnesota

When it comes to motorcycle accidents, there is no such thing as a minor accident. In car accidents and truck accidents, the driver and passengers are relatively protected by safety features which are required by law. Seat belts, air bags and even the frame of the vehicle itself can provide a certain level of protection. Other than a helmet, and the clothes on their back, motorcyclists have very little to protect themselves from serious injury in the event of an accident.

It is not uncommon for motorcyclists to receive life-threatening injuries, such as spinal cord injuries or traumatic brain injuries, from motorcycle accidents. All it takes is one careless driver cutting in front of, or running into a motorcyclist, for a serious accident to occur. The majority of all motorcycle accidents are caused by negligent or inattentive drivers who make left-hand turns in front of motorcycles, swerve into motorcycles when changing lanes, or run into motorcycles that are stopped at stop signs. Road debris and other dangerous highway conditions can also be at fault, and in such cases, the municipality responsible for maintaining the road or the vehicle that dropped the debris may be responsible.

At Heimerl & Lammers, we work aggressively to get justice served and hold the responsible party accountable for their actions. We also understand there can be a lot to take care of following a motorcycle accident. You may find yourself in the hospital for several weeks, thus unable to go to work and make the money needed to pay your bills. Months of rehabilitation could be required after you are released. Even after you recover from the accident, you may be left with scars or permanent disabilities. Who will pay for the expensive medical bills and lost wages?

In the state of Minnesota, you can sue the person who caused the accident after your damages reach a certain threshold, such as accumulating at least $4,000 in medical bills, having a permanent injury or losing a certain number of days at work.
