Claims & Compensation
Economic and non-economic damages explained. Learn what compensation Minnesota injury victims can pursue, from medical bills to pain and suffering.
Economic Damages
Economic damages cover your measurable financial losses: past and future medical expenses, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and out-of-pocket costs related to your injury. These are documented with bills, records, and expert projections for future needs.
Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages compensate for harms that don't come with a receipt — pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. In motor-vehicle cases, Minnesota's no-fault system requires you to meet a threshold before pursuing these against the at-fault driver.
How Value Is Determined
The value of a claim depends on injury severity, the strength of liability evidence, available insurance coverage, and the impact on your life and work. Minnesota's comparative fault rule also affects the final number, since your award is reduced by your share of fault.
