From no-fault benefits to liability claims and potential uninsured or underinsured coverage, our approach is designed to preserve evidence early and pursue the full picture of damages.

If you were a passenger, another motorist, a pedestrian, or an Uber driver in Fairmont, we’re ready to help you make informed decisions and protect your claim timeline.
Uber collisions often involve layered coverage that can shift depending on whether a driver was offline, waiting for a ride, en route to a pickup, or transporting a passenger. Acting quickly helps secure app data, dashcam footage, witness statements, and medical records that support your case. With guidance, you can coordinate no-fault benefits for early treatment and wage loss while pursuing the at-fault party for additional damages when appropriate. We help you avoid common pitfalls, like recorded statements that minimize injuries or incomplete documentation that undervalues recovery. Our firm’s goal is to simplify a complex process, align the right insurers, and present a strong, well-documented claim that reflects the full impact of the crash on your life.
Metro Law Offices is a Minnesota personal injury law firm that assists clients throughout Martin County, including Fairmont, with rideshare claims involving Uber. Our approach balances local knowledge with careful documentation, negotiation, and, when needed, litigation readiness. We routinely coordinate multiple coverage sources—no-fault, liability, and uninsured or underinsured claims—and we know how to request app-related data that can clarify driver status at the time of impact. Clients receive clear communication, straightforward updates, and practical guidance to help manage treatment, time away from work, and property damage. When you call 651-615-3322, you’ll speak with a team that values prompt action, thorough preparation, and steady advocacy focused on results that reflect your real-world losses.
Rideshare claims differ from typical auto accidents because coverage can change based on the Uber driver’s app status. If the driver is offline, personal auto insurance generally applies. If the driver is online and waiting for a request, contingent coverage may activate. If a ride is accepted or a passenger is in the vehicle, higher third-party limits may be available. For injured Minnesotans, no-fault benefits can help with early medical costs and wage loss, while fault-based claims may address pain and suffering, future care, and other damages. We guide clients through these layers, verify coverage, and help secure records such as trip logs, telematics when available, and witness statements that support a comprehensive claim.
Because multiple insurers may be involved, it’s important to report the crash accurately, seek timely medical evaluation, and avoid gaps in treatment that insurers might challenge. We help you coordinate care, collect proof of expenses, and document how injuries affect work and daily life. We also track deadlines, manage communications with adjusters, and develop a strategy tailored to your situation—whether you were a passenger, another driver, or a pedestrian in Fairmont. Our role is to reduce confusion, protect your rights, and make sure important evidence is preserved. With early action, we can often position your claim for a stronger negotiation, and if negotiations stall, we’re prepared to press forward toward a fair resolution.
An Uber accident claim is a request for compensation related to injuries or losses arising from a crash involving an Uber vehicle. Claims can be made by passengers, Uber drivers, other motorists, cyclists, or pedestrians. In Minnesota, coverage can shift based on whether the Uber driver was offline, waiting for a ride, en route to a pickup, or transporting a passenger. Depending on the circumstances, claims might involve no-fault benefits, the Uber driver’s personal policy, Uber’s contingent or higher third-party coverage, and potentially uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. The goal is to coordinate the correct benefits, document injuries and damages, and pursue accountability from the appropriate insurer or insurers in a timely, well-supported manner.
Successful rideshare claims are built on timely evidence, clear medical documentation, and accurate coverage verification. The process commonly involves reporting the crash, gathering police and incident reports, identifying Uber trip status, and collecting photos, video, and witness contacts. Early medical evaluation establishes a record of injuries and helps prevent gaps in care. We coordinate no-fault benefits and request app-related data when appropriate. From there, we assess liability, build a damages package that reflects medical expenses, wage loss, and non-economic harm, and negotiate with the responsible insurer or insurers. If settlement isn’t fair, we prepare to escalate, ensuring filing deadlines are preserved. Throughout, we keep communication consistent, transparent, and focused on your goals.
Understanding common terms can make the rideshare claim process less intimidating. You may encounter references to no-fault benefits, which can help with initial medical costs and lost wages, and to liability coverage, which addresses damages when a party is at fault. Contingent coverage can apply when a driver is online but not yet on a trip. Uninsured and underinsured coverage can help if the at-fault driver lacks adequate insurance. You might also hear about preservation or spoliation notices, which request that critical evidence such as app data and dashcam footage be saved. We explain these concepts clearly, connect them to your facts, and use them to build a strong, well-supported claim.
No-fault, often called Personal Injury Protection (PIP), helps cover reasonable medical expenses and a portion of lost wages after a Minnesota motor vehicle crash, regardless of who caused it. This early coverage is important for getting care started and keeping treatment consistent, which supports both your health and your claim. We help you apply for and document no-fault benefits, coordinate with providers, and make sure forms are completed correctly. No-fault does not bar you from pursuing additional damages in a liability claim when permitted. Rather, it provides a foundation of support at a time when you need it most, helping stabilize the immediate financial impact while the broader claim develops.
Underinsured and uninsured motorist coverage can help when the at-fault driver has no insurance or not enough coverage to pay for your losses. In rideshare situations, UIM/UM may be available through your own policy, a household policy, or coverage connected to the trip, depending on the facts. These claims often require careful coordination, notice to insurers, and proof that all other applicable coverage was explored. We evaluate potential UIM/UM avenues, track requirements, and present the documentation needed to preserve and pursue these benefits. When used effectively, UIM/UM can fill significant gaps and help ensure that injuries, wage loss, and long-term needs are not left uncompensated because of limited liability insurance.
Contingent liability coverage is insurance that may apply when an Uber driver is logged into the app and available for rides but not yet engaged in an active trip. In that status, the driver’s personal auto policy is typically primary, and the contingent coverage can help if the personal limits are insufficient. Verifying the driver’s exact status at the time of the crash is important, and app records or trip confirmations can clarify this. We help gather and preserve evidence, assess the order of coverage, and communicate with the right insurers. Clear documentation reduces disputes and supports a smoother path toward resolving your claim and addressing the full extent of your losses.
A preservation letter, also known as a spoliation notice, is a written request instructing a person or company to preserve evidence relevant to a claim. In Uber cases, this can include trip data, app logs, dashcam footage, telematics, and driver communications. Sending this notice early helps prevent important records from being deleted or overwritten during routine data cycles. We tailor preservation requests to the facts, identify likely sources of information, and follow up to confirm compliance. By protecting key evidence, we strengthen your position in negotiations and, if needed, litigation. The result is a more complete record of what happened, who was responsible, and how the crash affected your health and livelihood.
After a rideshare crash, some people opt to handle claims alone, while others choose comprehensive legal help. A direct, limited approach may work when injuries are minor, liability is clear, and insurers are cooperative. However, when injuries are significant, coverage is layered, or fault is disputed, going it alone can increase the risk of missed deadlines, undervalued damages, or incomplete documentation. We evaluate your specific situation, identify coverage sources, and help you weigh the costs and benefits of each path. Our goal is to match the level of support to your needs, from targeted guidance to full representation, so you can move forward with confidence and control.
A streamlined approach can be effective when the collision facts are straightforward, injuries are minor, and medical treatment is brief and well-documented. If the at-fault driver accepts responsibility and there are no disputes about coverage, it may be possible to resolve the claim efficiently. In these situations, consistent medical records, prompt reporting, and organized proof of expenses are essential. We can provide targeted guidance to help you gather what insurers expect to see, avoid common mistakes in communication, and present a clean, accurate damages package. When appropriate, we’ll also help you understand when a limited strategy should transition into a more robust approach to protect your long-term interests.
If insurers respond promptly, provide clear coverage information, and request reasonable documentation, a limited approach can save time and reduce stress. In these claims, we help you organize records, track deadlines, and answer key questions without unnecessary back-and-forth. We’ll flag red flags—such as requests that appear to minimize injuries or push for premature releases—so you can remain in control. Even in straightforward cases, it’s wise to verify Uber driver status, confirm all potential coverage, and ensure no-fault benefits are properly coordinated. By staying proactive and detail-focused, you can keep the process moving and still preserve your ability to escalate if conditions change or negotiations stall.
Full representation is often needed when fault is contested, evidence is incomplete, or multiple insurers dispute who pays. Rideshare cases can involve the Uber driver’s personal policy, contingent coverage, and higher limits depending on trip status. We pursue app data, witness statements, photos, video, and vehicle records to clarify responsibility. We also coordinate medical documentation and wage proof to present a persuasive damages picture. When negotiations become circular or stalled, we prepare to take the next steps. With a coordinated plan, a complex claim can be organized into a sequence of achievable goals that moves your case from uncertainty to a clear, well-supported path toward resolution.
When injuries are significant, the stakes rise. You may face ongoing treatment, time away from work, and lasting effects that change daily routines. In these cases, accurate valuation requires detailed medical records, future care projections when available, and corroboration from employers or providers. Insurers often challenge the extent of limitations, making comprehensive documentation and persistent advocacy essential. We work to present the full story: how the crash happened, why coverage applies, and the real-world costs of recovery. By aligning no-fault benefits, liability claims, and potential UM/UIM coverage, we aim to protect both immediate needs and long-term stability, so your claim reflects the complete impact of the collision.
A comprehensive approach helps you capture the full range of available benefits and sources of recovery. It starts with early evidence preservation, prompt medical documentation, and a clear plan for engaging the right insurers. By confirming the Uber driver’s status and mapping coverage layers, we reduce gaps that can jeopardize your claim. This strategy also creates a stronger negotiation posture, supported by organized records and a detailed damages presentation. If settlement discussions falter, your case is already structured for the next phase. In short, comprehensive planning streamlines the process, minimizes avoidable disputes, and positions you to seek a result that genuinely reflects your losses.
Comprehensive representation can also reduce stress by centralizing communication, deadlines, and document management. You’ll know who is responsible for what, when records are due, and how updates will be delivered. We coordinate with your providers, keep you informed about coverage questions, and anticipate issues before they become problems. This clarity supports better medical outcomes by removing administrative obstacles and allowing you to focus on recovery. It also makes your damages clearer to insurers, improving the likelihood of a fair resolution. From early no-fault coordination to potential litigation, we keep the process consistent, transparent, and aligned with your priorities and timeline.
Rideshare crashes can trigger several coverage sources. With a coordinated strategy, we confirm the Uber driver’s status, verify all policies, and manage communications so nothing falls through the cracks. We align no-fault benefits for early care, pursue liability coverage for broader damages, and evaluate UM/UIM where applicable. By presenting a single, organized narrative of the crash, treatment, and losses, we reduce room for dispute and keep the claim on track. This coordination also helps avoid conflicting statements and duplicated efforts, creating a cleaner record for negotiation and, if necessary, litigation. The result is a claim that is easier to understand and harder to undermine.
Insurers often focus on gaps in care, inconsistencies, or missing records to reduce payouts. We counter that by building a detailed file that tracks treatment, symptoms, work limitations, and out-of-pocket costs. When appropriate, we include statements from employers or providers to explain changes in duties, missed time, or ongoing limitations. This supports an accurate valuation that goes beyond immediate bills to consider long-term effects. With a well-documented record, negotiations are more productive, and if litigation is needed, your case is already supported by clear, chronological proof. Thorough documentation is the backbone of a claim that reflects the real impact of an Uber crash.
Evidence fades quickly after a rideshare crash, so document early and thoroughly. Take photos of vehicle positions, damage, roadway conditions, and visible injuries. Ask for names and contact information for witnesses and responding officers, and request the case or incident number. Screenshot the Uber trip screen if you were a passenger, noting driver details and timestamps. Seek prompt medical care, even for aches you think may resolve on their own, and tell providers about all symptoms. Keep receipts, mileage logs, and time-off records. Early, organized documentation strengthens your claim, clarifies liability, and reduces disputes with insurers about the severity of injuries or the mechanics of the collision.
Insurers closely review treatment timelines. Gaps in care or missed appointments can be used to question the seriousness of injuries. Seek an initial evaluation as soon as possible, follow provider recommendations, and communicate any changes in symptoms. Keep a simple journal tracking pain levels, activity limitations, and work impacts—details that often get lost over time. Ensure every provider knows this was an Uber-related crash, so records reflect the cause of injury. Ask for work notes when needed and save all invoices and explanations of benefits. Consistent, well-documented care supports your recovery and provides the evidence needed to present an accurate, credible picture of your damages.
Rideshare collisions raise questions that standard auto claims don’t always address. Coverage can change minute by minute, multiple insurers may demand statements, and app data can be essential to establishing who pays. Speaking with a lawyer early helps organize the process, protect your statements, and preserve key evidence. We can evaluate whether your injuries and losses are being fully considered and whether additional coverage may apply. If you were a passenger, another driver, a cyclist, or a pedestrian in Fairmont, we tailor guidance to your role and circumstances. Our goal is to reduce stress, keep the process on track, and position your claim for a fair result.
Many people assume small injuries will resolve quickly and delay getting help. Unfortunately, delays can complicate both medical recovery and the claims process. Early evaluation clarifies your treatment plan and ensures benefits are coordinated correctly. We help you avoid common missteps, like signing broad releases or giving statements that insurers may later use to limit recovery. With organized documentation and a clear strategy, negotiations are more productive and timelines are easier to manage. Whether you need targeted advice or full representation, we’ll match our services to your needs and budget, provide transparent communication, and keep your priorities at the center of every decision.
We assist Fairmont residents and visitors in a range of rideshare crash scenarios. You may be a passenger injured during an active trip, a driver or cyclist struck by an Uber vehicle, or an Uber driver hurt while using the app. Each situation requires different documentation, notice, and coverage coordination. We verify driver status, confirm insurance lines, and work to preserve app and vehicle data. We also coordinate no-fault benefits, track medical care, and develop a damages presentation that reflects both immediate and long-term impacts. By tailoring our approach to your role in the crash, we help ensure your claim is complete, accurate, and positioned for a fair resolution.
Passengers are often unsure which insurer to contact first. We help you report the incident through appropriate channels, verify the trip status, and organize medical records from the start. No-fault benefits can help pay for early treatment and wage loss, while the at-fault party’s liability coverage may address broader damages. We also evaluate potential UM/UIM options if the responsible driver lacks adequate insurance. Throughout, we keep you informed and ensure statements align with the documented facts. With prompt action and accurate records, passenger claims can move forward efficiently, focusing on recovery while we work to present a clear, well-supported case to the responsible insurers.
When you’re hit by an Uber vehicle, determining the driver’s app status is key to identifying coverage. We help gather evidence from the scene, request police and incident reports, and, when appropriate, pursue app data to clarify status and responsibility. Early medical evaluation and consistent treatment are essential to support your claim. We coordinate no-fault benefits and pursue liability coverage, outlining medical expenses, wage loss, and non-economic damages with thorough documentation. If the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, we assess potential UM/UIM coverage. Our goal is to present a complete, credible claim that addresses the full impact of the collision on your health, work, and daily life.
If you drive for Uber and are injured while online or during a trip, coverage can be complex. We help confirm status at the time of the crash, review your personal auto policy, and identify any Uber-related coverage that may apply. You may also have access to no-fault benefits to address early medical costs and wage loss. We work to preserve app data, secure statements from witnesses, and document vehicle damage and injuries. Clear records and timely notices help reduce disputes and support a stronger negotiation. We guide you through each step so you can focus on healing while we coordinate the claim and protect important deadlines.

We structure rideshare claims around clear phases so you always know what’s happening and why. First, we focus on safety, treatment, and evidence preservation. Next, we verify coverage by confirming the Uber driver’s status and identifying all applicable insurers. Then we build your damages file with organized records and begin negotiations aimed at a fair resolution. If settlement falls short, we prepare to litigate while continuing to explore resolution opportunities. Throughout, we keep communication consistent and accessible, explaining each step in plain language and tailoring the process to your goals, your schedule, and the unique facts of your Fairmont crash.
Right away, we help you report the crash, secure medical evaluation, and protect critical evidence. We gather police reports, photos, and witness statements and, when appropriate, send preservation requests for trip data, dashcam footage, and telematics. We also help initiate no-fault benefits for early treatment and wage support. Our goal is to stabilize the situation and create a reliable record of what happened. With early action, we can reduce disputes later, keep your claim on schedule, and make sure your care and documentation align. This foundation sets the stage for an orderly, well-supported claim that reflects the full impact of the collision.
We begin with a careful intake that covers your role in the crash, injuries, medical needs, work situation, and any immediate concerns. We identify the location, vehicles, and potential witnesses, and we request the incident number and initial records from law enforcement. If you were a passenger, we help document the ride details and report the incident through the app as appropriate. We also discuss treatment options and ensure providers note that the injuries stem from a motor vehicle crash. This early organization prevents confusion later and gives us a roadmap for which records and evidence to prioritize as the claim develops.
Preserving evidence can make or break a rideshare claim. We send tailored preservation letters, request relevant trip confirmations, and collect photos, video, and vehicle damage estimates. We also help you maintain a symptom and activity journal and gather proof of wage loss or missed work opportunities. Medical documentation is essential, so we coordinate records from all providers and watch for gaps that insurers might use against you. The result is a clear, chronological file that explains how the crash happened, the injuries it caused, and how those injuries affect daily life. This foundation supports a stronger negotiation and prepares the case for any next steps.
Once the initial investigation is underway, we confirm insurer identities and coverage layers based on the Uber driver’s status. We help you complete no-fault applications, address property damage, and obtain medical and wage documentation. We then prepare a detailed liability and damages presentation, supported by records and evidence. Clear, organized communication with insurers can reduce delays and help avoid unnecessary disputes. If questions arise, we respond promptly and keep you informed about options. Our focus is to build a persuasive, well-documented case that reflects the full scope of your losses and positions you for a fair outcome through negotiation or, if needed, litigation.
We coordinate no-fault benefits to support your early medical care and wage loss, confirming eligibility and ensuring forms are complete and accurate. At the same time, we analyze coverage sources by verifying whether the Uber driver was offline, waiting for a ride, or on an active trip. This analysis guides which insurers to contact, what records to request, and how to frame liability and damages. We keep you informed about what to expect at each stage and explain how different coverages interact. By clarifying responsibilities early, we prevent confusion and set the claim on a focused, efficient path toward resolution.
With evidence and documentation in place, we submit a demand that sets out the facts, liability, injuries, treatment, and damages. We include records, bills, wage proof, photos, and other exhibits that bring the claim to life. Throughout negotiation, we respond to insurer questions, address disputes, and update you on offers and options. If the discussion is productive, we work toward a fair settlement that meets your needs. If progress stalls, we evaluate next steps, including litigation, while continuing to press for resolution. Our approach is thorough yet practical, designed to move your claim forward without sacrificing the quality of your presentation.
Many rideshare claims resolve through negotiation, but some require litigation to reach a fair result. If we proceed, your case will already be supported by preserved evidence, organized records, and a clear damages narrative. Filing suit can prompt additional discovery, including depositions and document requests, and may open new opportunities for resolution. We continue to negotiate as appropriate, keeping your goals and timeline at the forefront. Whether your case resolves before trial or proceeds further, our focus remains steady: present your story clearly, protect your rights, and pursue a result that reflects the real impact of the Fairmont crash on your life.
Settlement is most effective when both sides share a clear understanding of the facts and damages. We leverage the investigation and records we’ve built to present a persuasive, organized case. We discuss negotiation ranges with you, outline potential outcomes, and gather any additional documentation requested. When appropriate, we consider alternatives such as mediation. Regardless of the forum, our strategy is to remain prepared, responsive, and focused on the details that matter most. If a fair settlement is achievable, we move efficiently to finalize terms while ensuring the agreement accurately reflects your injuries, time away from work, and future needs.
If litigation becomes necessary, we file suit within the applicable deadlines and pursue discovery to obtain additional records, testimony, and information. We prepare you for each step, from written responses to depositions, and keep you updated on timelines and strategy. Pretrial work can also prompt renewed settlement discussions as evidence is clarified. Throughout, we stay organized and transparent, helping you navigate scheduling, court requirements, and case milestones. Our goal is to keep the process understandable and purposeful, ensuring your claim is presented clearly and supported by credible, well-documented proof of how the Uber crash affected your health, career, and daily life.
Start with safety and medical care, then document everything you can. Call 911 if needed, seek prompt evaluation, and tell providers all symptoms, even mild ones. Photograph the scene, vehicles, and visible injuries. Exchange information with drivers and witnesses and request the police case number. If you were a passenger, report the incident through the Uber app. Avoid detailed statements about fault until you’ve reviewed the facts and your rights. Save receipts, time-off records, and repair estimates. Next, notify your insurer and consider calling Metro Law Offices at 651-615-3322. We help preserve app data and other key evidence, coordinate no-fault benefits, and identify the appropriate liability coverage. Early organization prevents disputes and supports a stronger claim. We’ll explain each step in plain language and tailor guidance to your role in the crash, whether you were a passenger, driver, or pedestrian in Fairmont.
In Minnesota, no-fault (PIP) benefits can help with initial medical expenses and a portion of lost wages, regardless of who caused the crash. These benefits are designed to get care started without delay. Depending on your circumstances, health insurance may also contribute, with potential reimbursement issues that we can help navigate. Keep all medical bills and explanations of benefits so we can coordinate coverage properly and avoid gaps in payment. Beyond no-fault, the at-fault party’s liability coverage may address additional damages, such as pain and suffering and future care needs. If that coverage is limited, uninsured or underinsured motorist benefits may apply, depending on the policies involved. We evaluate all potential sources of recovery, track deadlines, and handle communications with insurers, so you can focus on treatment while we work to ensure your bills are properly documented and directed to the correct coverage lines.
Coverage typically depends on the Uber driver’s status. If the driver was offline, personal auto insurance generally applies. If the driver was online and awaiting a ride, contingent coverage may be available after the personal policy. Once a ride is accepted or a passenger is in the vehicle, higher third-party limits usually apply. Verifying status through app records or trip confirmations is key to understanding which insurer should respond and in what order. We help secure necessary records, confirm the coverage layers, and present your claim with the proper documentation. That includes coordinating no-fault benefits, liability claims, and exploring UM/UIM options when appropriate. By aligning the facts with the correct coverage, we reduce disputes, speed up communication with insurers, and work toward a resolution that reflects the full extent of your injuries and losses from the Fairmont crash.
Yes, passengers may still have a claim even when their driver is not at fault. You can pursue a claim against the at-fault driver’s liability insurance, and depending on the facts, additional coverage may apply. We also help you coordinate no-fault benefits for timely medical care and wage support. Clear documentation of the ride, the crash, and your injuries helps establish the path to recovery. If the at-fault driver has limited insurance, uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage may be available. We evaluate all applicable policies and request relevant app data to confirm the Uber driver’s status, which can affect coverage options. Our team organizes the records needed to present a complete, credible claim and keeps you informed throughout the process so you can focus on healing and daily responsibilities.
If the Uber driver was off the app, the driver is generally treated as a regular motorist, and personal auto insurance typically applies. In that scenario, Uber’s coverage may not be triggered. Determining app status is therefore essential. We help gather evidence from the scene, obtain the police report, and, where appropriate, seek information that clarifies whether the driver was offline or online at the time of impact. Regardless of status, you should document injuries and treatment and coordinate no-fault benefits to support early medical care and wage loss. If the at-fault driver has limited insurance, we evaluate potential UM/UIM coverage. By aligning the facts with the correct insurance structure, we work to minimize disputes and present a strong, well-documented claim that reflects the true cost of the crash.
Time limits apply to Minnesota injury claims, and different deadlines may apply to no-fault benefits, liability claims, and potential litigation. Because rideshare cases can involve multiple insurers and additional notice requirements, it’s important to act promptly. Early action preserves app data, medical records, and witness information that support your case and help prevent delays. We recommend contacting an attorney soon after the crash to review timelines specific to your situation. We can help you prioritize next steps, send preservation notices, and ensure forms and claims are filed on time. By getting organized early, you reduce the risk of missing a deadline and strengthen your position for negotiation or, if needed, litigation down the road.
Many Uber accident cases settle through negotiation after a thorough presentation of liability and damages. With clear evidence and organized records, insurers can better understand the claim, which often helps reach a fair result without filing suit. We will discuss settlement ranges with you, evaluate offers, and make recommendations, but the decision to settle is always yours. Some cases do proceed to litigation, especially when fault is contested or injuries are significant. If that happens, we file within the applicable deadlines and pursue discovery, while continuing to explore resolution opportunities. Whether your case settles early or requires a courtroom path, we keep you informed about strategy, timelines, and what to expect at each stage.
Compensation can include medical expenses, wage loss, and non-economic damages such as pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. Property damage and out-of-pocket costs, like transportation to appointments or household help during recovery, may also be sought. The value of a claim depends on the severity of injuries, the length of treatment, and how the crash affects work and daily activities. Every case is unique, and no lawyer can promise a specific outcome. Our job is to present a complete, well-documented picture of your losses and advocate for a fair result. We collect records from providers and employers, track bills, and, when appropriate, use supporting statements to explain limitations. With a clear damages package, negotiations are more productive and the path to resolution is stronger.
You can notify insurers of the crash, but be cautious with detailed statements before you understand your rights. Adjusters may ask broad questions or request recorded statements that touch on injuries, prior conditions, or treatment gaps. Without preparation, answers can be taken out of context. We recommend speaking with an attorney first, especially in rideshare cases where multiple coverage layers and parties are involved. We handle communications, help you avoid missteps, and ensure information is provided accurately and in the right order. If a statement is necessary, we prepare you for what to expect. By managing the flow of information, we work to protect your claim’s value, reduce disputes, and keep the process on a track that supports a fair and timely resolution.
We offer clear, written fee agreements so you know how costs are handled before work begins. During your consultation, we discuss the services you need, anticipated tasks, and how fees and expenses will be addressed. Our goal is to provide transparency, predictability, and regular updates so there are no surprises as your claim progresses. Many injury matters are handled using a contingency arrangement, where attorney fees are paid from a settlement or judgment. The exact structure depends on your case and will be explained in writing. If you have questions about costs, we’re happy to walk through them in detail. Call 651-615-3322 to discuss your options and find a plan that fits your situation.
