Information
Regarding Car Accidents and Personal
Injury Coverage |
The following
is a brief description of personal
injury coverage in the state of
Minnesota
:
The state of
Minnesota
legally requires that each motorist
have a type of insurance called
“no-fault.”
This originates from the
Minnesota No Fault Automobile
Insurance Act that was enacted on
January 1, 1975
.
A claim can be filed for
accidents that occur during
maintenance of a vehicle or
operation and use of the vehicle.
Following a collision, as the
term implies, initially neither
motorists’ insurance is held
responsible when a claim is filed.
Both insurance companies pay
for out of pocket medical expenses
incurred up to $20,000.
You may be treated for your
injuries by any chiropractor,
medical doctor, or any other medical
professional you choose.
The insurance companies later
determines fault.
The insurance company is also
required to cover transportation or
mileage for treatment, loss of wages
due to injury, and other types of
compensation.
