Navigating Two-Car Collisions in Minnesota
Two-car collisions, such as the one that occurred on Burgess St in St. Paul, are frequent in both residential neighborhoods and busy city streets. These accidents can happen for various reasons, including driver inattention, speeding, failure to yield, or adverse road conditions. In urban settings like St. Paul, narrow streets and heavy traffic can increase the risk of such incidents.
Minnesota’s no-fault insurance system requires that injured drivers first file claims through their own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage. This covers medical bills and a portion of lost wages, regardless of who is at fault. However, in cases where injuries exceed the no-fault threshold—such as when serious, permanent injuries occur—victims may be eligible to file a lawsuit against the responsible driver for additional compensation.
If you’ve been involved in a car accident, it’s important to take immediate steps: document the scene, seek medical attention, and contact law enforcement to ensure a proper investigation. Consulting with a legal professional can also help protect your rights, especially when navigating complex insurance claims or pursuing legal action.
