Sieben Edmunds Miller
What should I do immediately after an accident with a government or emergency vehicle?

Ensure safety, call 911 for medical assistance, gather information, seek medical attention, report to the authorities, and contact an experienced attorney to protect your rights. 

What penalties do at-fault government or emergency vehicle operators face?

Penalties for at-fault government or emergency vehicle operators vary but can include disciplinary actions, fines, and potential criminal charges depending on the severity of the accident. 

Can I still receive compensation if I am partially at fault for the accident?

Yes, Minnesota follows a comparative negligence rule, allowing you to recover damages even if you were partially at fault. However, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. 

How long do I have to file a claim after an accident with a government or emergency vehicle?

In Minnesota, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is typically six years from the date of the accident. Consulting with an attorney promptly is essential to ensure timely filing. 

What evidence is crucial for a government or emergency vehicle accident claim?

Crucial evidence includes photos of the scene, witness statements, police reports, medical records, and any surveillance footage. This evidence supports your claim for compensation. 

What should I avoid doing after an accident with a government or emergency vehicle?

Avoid admitting fault, making statements to insurance adjusters without legal counsel, and delaying medical treatment. These actions can negatively impact your claim. 

Can I seek compensation for emotional distress after an accident with a government or emergency vehicle?

Yes, you can seek compensation for emotional distress, pain and suffering, and other non-economic damages resulting from the accident. 

What if the government or emergency vehicle driver was on duty?

If the driver was on duty, you might need to file a claim against the government agency employing the driver. An attorney can help you navigate this process and overcome any sovereign immunity issues. 

What role does my insurance company play in a government or emergency vehicle accident?

Your insurance company can provide coverage for medical expenses, vehicle repairs, and other damages. They will investigate the claim and work towards a settlement, especially if the at-fault party is a government entity. 

Can I still file a claim if my injuries appear later?

Yes, it’s important to seek medical attention immediately after the accident and document any emerging symptoms. Late-appearing injuries can still be included in your claim. 

How do medical records support my claim?

Medical records provide crucial evidence of the injuries sustained and the treatments required, supporting your claim for compensation. 

What if I cannot work due to my injuries?

You can seek compensation for lost wages and loss of earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from working. An attorney can help you calculate and claim these damages.
