In Minnesota, an injured car accident victim is entitled to monetary compensation for physical pain and suffering if the victim is less than 50% at fault for the accident. There is no precise definition of pain and suffering, nor is there any statutory list of factors to consider when awarding compensation for pain and suffering.
Our lawyers have found success negotiating and litigating pain and suffering issues by use of the following:
- Respected, highly-trained medical experts who testify about the victim’s injuries and the specific manifestations of the victim’s pain and suffering
- Detailed accounts of the victim’s injuries and related pain and suffering
- Photographs, video, medically-detailed visuals, witnesses and the testimony of the victim to tell the story of the victim’s pain and suffering and how it has affected the victim’s life
- Persuasive negotiation and trial techniques learned from decades of practice
Our lawyers have taught legal education courses on pain and suffering issues and are frequently referred cases by lawyers at other law firms. Attorneys Fred Pritzker, Elliot Olsen and Eric Hageman have been named Minnesota “Super Lawyers” by Law & Politics magazine, which annually poles Minnesota attorneys regarding the best lawyers in Minnesota. Only 5% of Minnesota attorneys are named “Super Lawyers.”
