Different Types of Car Accident Cases

If you’ve been injured in a motor vehicle accident, it’s important to understand the benefits and coverage available in your state. The summary below outlines your rights and options in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

• In Minnesota Motor Vehicle Crashes

No-Fault Benefits: These benefits are available regardless of who caused the accident and include payment of medical bills up to certain limits, lost income payments, and coverage for the cost of performing daily activities that you cannot do yourself.

At-Fault Benefits: These cases result in payment for pain, suffering, and disability caused by an auto accident. These are available if you are not at fault for the accident and you meet one of the five criteria below:

• You have a permanent disfigurement such as a scar, burn, amputation, etc.
• You have accident-related medical expenses greater than $4,000.
• You have been disabled from work and normal daily activity for more than 60 days.
• You have a medically diagnosed permanent injury.
• The injury caused death.

Underinsured Motorist Insurance: Benefits may be available to you through your own policy if you were involved in an accident where the other party was an underinsured motorist. These cases may also involve the policy of relatives you live with or the policy of the driver who injured you. This type of coverage often involves complex legal issues. If underinsured or uninsured motorist claims are not handled correctly, you could unnecessarily lose your right to receive these benefits.

Minnesota Personal Injuries: If you’ve been injured in a car accident in Minnesota, it’s important to seek medical attention immediately. Delaying treatment can worsen your condition or lead to further complications.

Car accidents can result in a wide range of injuries. Some of the most common include head and brain injuries, neck injuries, back injuries, burns, spinal injuries, and broken bones.

If you’re experiencing soreness or any of the injuries mentioned above, consult a medical professional without delay.

• In Wisconsin Motor Vehicle Crashes

At-Fault Benefits: In Wisconsin, liability insurance covers the driver who is at fault for a car accident. If you are injured due to another driver’s negligence, that driver’s liability insurance will compensate you for your losses, up to the policy’s coverage limits.

However, in some cases, the at-fault driver may have insufficient or no insurance coverage. In such situations, your losses may be covered by underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage or uninsured motorist (UM) coverage. These benefits may be available through various sources, including your insurance policies, the policies of relatives you live with, or even the policies held by the at-fault driver and their relatives.

Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Insurance: Uninsured Motorist (UM) and Underinsured Motorist (UIM) coverage have been the subject of significant legal debate in recent years. If these claims are not handled correctly, you could needlessly forfeit your right to receive these benefits.

At Novitzke Gust Sempf Whitley & Bergmanis, we are experts in UIM and UM coverage. If you have been seriously injured in a car accident, we will thoroughly examine every possible avenue of coverage to protect your rights.

Wisconsin Car Accident Injuries: If you’ve been injured in a car accident in Wisconsin, it’s important to seek medical attention immediately. Delaying treatment can worsen your condition or lead to additional complications. Car accidents can result in a wide range of injuries. Some of the most common include:

• Head and Brain Injuries: These may include concussions, internal bleeding, skull fractures, or lacerations.
• Neck Injuries: Common neck injuries include whiplash, fractures, sprains, and strains.
• Back Injuries: These may involve whiplash, herniated discs, spinal cord damage, sprains, or strains.
• Burn Injuries: Burns can result from hot liquids, leaking fuel, or fire, ranging from minor to life-threatening.
• Spinal Injuries: Damage to the spinal cord can cause severe pain, loss of mobility, or even paralysis.
• Broken Bones: Fractures may require surgery and often involve lengthy recovery periods.

If you’re experiencing soreness or any of the injuries listed above, seek medical care right away. After that, consider consulting with a lawyer to understand your legal options.
