Skilled Minnesota Truck Accident Attorneys Delivering Serious Legal Advocacy
Minnesota U.S. Highway 14 is a major east-west highway connecting Rochester, Mankato, New Ulm, and Winona, and nearby metro areas. It’s also one of the main trucking routes for consumer goods shipped across Minnesota and the country. With the heavy construction of the new expansion of many parts of U.S. Highway 14, the chances of a truck accident (already high) increase even more. Lane changes, rough pavement, and unexpected detours are all risk factors in devastating truck collisions.

Compensation Available In Truck Accident Claims
Truck accident victims often have extensive injuries, like brain trauma, multiple fractures, and spinal cord damage. There’s a good chance that they may be temporarily or permanently disabled and, in some cases, require nursing home care or an in-home caregiver. The cost of treating these injuries is extensive, and victims may be out of work for months. The settlement you receive can cover your cost of care, as well as replenish the wages you didn’t earn while you were out of work.
But, because the material damages that truck accident victims suffer are so high, insurance companies (usually who will be paying the claim) look very closely at these high-dollar claims. They often attempt to reduce the claim or deny it outright. Our Minnesota U.S. Highway 14 truck accident lawyer builds a strong claim on your behalf. We investigate the matter to gather the right evidence to prove that the other party is liable, presenting it according to Minnesota tort laws and fighting for every penny you deserve.
We may also pursue punitive damages. These are a form of financial punishment awarded by juries when they feel the defendant's actions were exceptionally negligent. They’re more common in truck accident claims than other types of personal injury cases and something that our firm is known for achieving.
Strong Legal Help For Truck Accident Victims
Truck accident claims, with multiple defenses, questions of violating federal transportation laws, and high-value damages, have complications that other traffic collision claims do not.
