Claims & Compensation
The factors that determine the value of a personal injury claim in Minnesota, and why no two cases are alike.
Key Value Factors
Claim value depends on injury severity, medical costs (past and future), lost wages and earning capacity, the clarity of liability, and available insurance coverage. Permanent or disabling injuries increase value significantly.
Non-Economic Damages
Pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life add to a claim's value, but in motor-vehicle cases you must meet Minnesota's no-fault threshold to pursue them against the at-fault driver.
Comparative Fault's Effect
Because Minnesota reduces recovery by your percentage of fault, how fault is documented directly affects your bottom line.
