Top 6 Questions after a Minnesota Car Accident, With Answers!
Let’s use a real life car accident near Detroit Lakes as an example – a head-on crash between a pick-up and a car. The truck crossed over the center line and hit an oncoming car.
Ambulance staff renders aid at an accident. Airbags deployed.
If you were hurt in a car accident like this, if your car was wrecked and you went to the hospital in an ambulance, you would be asking these questions to your personal injury attorney:
1. Is the other driver’s car insurance paying for my wrecked car?
2. The ambulance bill already came. How do I pay that?
3. Does car insurance pay the emergency room bill?
4. I had x-rays! Does insurance pay for those?
5. I will be missing three days of work. Does anyone pay for that?
6. Why does my own Minnesota no-fault insurance pay for my medical bills, when the other driver caused the accident?
The attorneys at the Stowman Law Firm, P.A., answer these questions. The short answers to the above questions are:
1. Yes.
2. Your own Minnesota no-fault car insurance.
3. Yes.
4. Yes.
