Whether your injuries are minor or life changing, we focus on documenting damages, identifying all responsible parties, and protecting your rights from the start. This page explains how taxi accident claims work in Minnesota, what compensation may be available, and how an attorney can move your case forward while you focus on healing. If you have questions after reading, reach out for a free, no pressure consultation.
Minnesota’s insurance rules often start with no fault benefits, but many taxi crashes also involve claims against a cab company, a driver, or other motorists. Each policy, deadline, and liability theory can affect your recovery. Our approach is to gather evidence early, preserve key records, and communicate with insurers so you are not pushed into quick, low offers. We work with medical providers to clarify your diagnosis and future care needs, and we keep you updated with plain language. You do not have to handle adjusters or legal forms alone. Metro Law Offices is ready to step in and guide your next steps.
Taxi collisions often involve commercial insurance, no fault coverage, and potential claims against multiple parties. Having a Minnesota attorney on your side can streamline the process and help prevent costly mistakes, such as missing notice requirements or undervaluing long term medical needs. We manage communications with insurers, coordinate benefits, and build a clear record of fault and damages. With professional advocacy, you can focus on recovery while your claim is positioned for fair negotiation or litigation if needed. Starting early also helps preserve video, trip data, and maintenance records that can be hard to obtain later, strengthening your path to compensation.
Metro Law Offices is a Minnesota personal injury law firm committed to practical guidance, responsive communication, and persistent advocacy. Our team handles motor vehicle injury claims across the state, including taxi and rideshare cases involving complex insurance and commercial carriers. We start by listening, then craft a strategy tailored to your injuries, medical care, and financial concerns. We collaborate with investigators and medical professionals to document fault and damages, and we keep you informed at every step. From first notice of claim through settlement talks and trial when necessary, our focus remains on clarity, preparation, and results for Minnesotans.
Minnesota uses a no fault system for motor vehicle injuries, which typically provides initial medical and wage benefits regardless of who caused the crash. For taxi accidents, additional coverage may apply under the cab company’s commercial policy, and claims may be made against at fault drivers when legal thresholds are met. Evidence from the scene, ride records, dash or street cameras, and maintenance histories can be important. Because multiple insurers may be involved, the order of coverage and the timing of notices are key. A careful early review helps determine which benefits to pursue immediately and which claims to preserve.
When injuries are more significant, Minnesota law allows claims for pain and suffering and other losses once certain thresholds are satisfied. Passengers, pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers may all have valid claims depending on the facts. Comparative fault rules can reduce recovery if you share blame, so a strong liability investigation matters. We collect medical documentation, employer confirmations for lost income, and expert opinions where needed to fully reflect your losses. Our goal is to align the legal process with your medical recovery, minimize stress, and seek the full compensation the law allows under the specific facts of your taxi accident.
A taxi accident claim in Minnesota is a request for compensation arising from injuries or losses caused by a collision involving a cab. It can include no fault benefits for medical bills and wages, as well as liability claims against negligent parties once statutory thresholds are met. These claims may target a cab driver, the taxi company, another motorist, a maintenance contractor, or even a vehicle manufacturer in certain cases. The claim’s success depends on timely notice, thorough documentation, and clear proof connecting the crash to your injuries. Properly sequencing benefits while protecting your right to pursue additional damages is essential.
A well built taxi accident case covers several core elements. First, immediate medical attention and documentation link your condition to the crash. Second, early notice under applicable no fault and commercial policies preserves your benefits. Third, a focused investigation gathers photos, videos, witness statements, trip data, vehicle inspections, and company records. Fourth, damages are compiled, including medical costs, wage loss, future care, and non economic harms when permitted. Finally, your attorney negotiates with insurers using organized evidence and, if needed, files suit to protect your rights. Each step is timed to meet Minnesota deadlines and maximize leverage.
Understanding a few Minnesota specific terms can make your taxi claim less confusing. The state’s no fault system provides early benefits, but it does not prevent all additional claims. Comparative fault can affect your compensation, and commercial carriers may have unique policy provisions. The following glossary highlights common concepts you may hear during your case. If a term is unclear, we will explain how it applies to your situation and what steps are needed to protect your claim. Clear definitions lead to better decisions and more organized evidence from the very beginning.
Personal Injury Protection, often called no fault, is coverage that pays certain medical bills and wage loss after a Minnesota motor vehicle crash, regardless of fault. After a taxi collision, passengers and drivers may seek these benefits through their own policy or another applicable policy, depending on the circumstances. Importantly, no fault does not always cover all losses, and it does not prevent additional claims when legal thresholds are satisfied. Prompt notice, accurate forms, and consistent medical documentation help ensure full payment. When multiple policies could apply, we determine the correct order of coverage and coordinate benefits to avoid gaps.
Minnesota follows a modified comparative fault system. Your recovery can be reduced by your percentage of fault, and if your share of fault is greater than the combined fault of the parties you claim against, you cannot recover from them. In taxi cases, fault may be shared among the cab driver, another motorist, a pedestrian, or others. Careful investigation and crash reconstruction can shift the fault analysis in your favor. Even if an insurer argues you share blame, detailed evidence and witness statements can limit that impact. We present the facts clearly to protect the value of your claim.
Taxis are commercial vehicles that transport passengers for a fee. As common carriers, they must operate with heightened care toward passengers’ safety under Minnesota law. This often includes driver screening, proper training, regular maintenance, and adherence to traffic and municipal rules. When a breach occurs, both the driver and the company may be liable, depending on employment and ownership details. Understanding these commercial standards is important for building your claim, because maintenance logs, driver histories, and dispatch data can show whether the company met its responsibilities. We work to secure these records promptly before they become difficult to obtain.
Every claim has time limits. In Minnesota, injury lawsuits generally must be filed within a defined period, and certain notices for no fault benefits or claims against governmental entities may be required much sooner. Missing a deadline can end your right to recover, even when liability is clear. Because taxi accidents can involve multiple insurers and potential defendants, we identify all applicable timelines early. We also track medical progress to ensure your damages are documented before negotiations. The safest path is to consult promptly so we can preserve your claim, gather evidence, and file on time if necessary.
Some Minnesota taxi accidents can be resolved through straightforward no fault benefits and a limited property damage claim. Others require a broader strategy, including liability claims against a cab company or third party drivers, and careful preparation for litigation. The right approach depends on injury severity, insurance limits, and disputed fault. A limited strategy may be efficient when injuries are minor and liability is uncontested. A comprehensive strategy fits cases with significant medical care, long term symptoms, complex coverage, or contested facts. We tailor the scope to your needs, always watching deadlines and preserving the leverage needed for fair results.
If your injuries are minor, recover quickly, and are well documented, a limited approach focused on no fault benefits and a simple property claim can make sense. In these scenarios, liability is usually clear, there are no significant wage losses, and medical care is brief. The goal becomes prompt benefit payment and efficient claim closure without unnecessary steps. We still verify coverage, confirm that bills are processed correctly, and ensure there are no surprise denials. By keeping the process streamlined, you can return to normal life sooner while protecting your right to pursue additional claims if new issues arise.
When all parties agree on fault and your economic losses are small, a limited strategy that emphasizes quick documentation and payment can be appropriate. We gather medical records, wage confirmations, and repair estimates, then present a clean package to the carrier. Even in simple cases, we confirm that releases do not unintentionally waive still unknown injuries or future care. The benefit of this route is speed and reduced stress. The risk is closing a claim too soon. Our job is to balance efficiency with caution, preserving your options while moving your case forward at a sensible pace.
Moderate to severe injuries, extended treatment, or lasting symptoms call for a comprehensive approach. These cases often involve multiple insurers, larger medical expenses, and careful projection of future care and wage loss. We coordinate with treating providers, obtain supportive opinions, and evaluate all coverage sources, including commercial policies and any underinsured motorist benefits that may apply. We also prepare for litigation while negotiating, which can improve settlement leverage. In serious injury cases, the difference between a quick offer and a fully documented claim can be significant, so we invest the time and resources needed to reflect your full losses.
When insurers dispute liability, argue comparative fault, or point fingers at each other, a comprehensive strategy is essential. We secure witness statements, site photos, and electronic data, seek vehicle inspections, and issue preservation requests for dispatch logs, maintenance records, and camera footage. We analyze policy language to resolve coverage disputes and evaluate whether additional parties, such as maintenance contractors or municipalities, may share responsibility. Clear, organized evidence can break stalemates and encourage fair offers. If negotiations stall, we are prepared to file suit within Minnesota’s deadlines to protect your rights and keep your claim moving forward.
A comprehensive approach emphasizes early investigation, careful documentation, and strategic timing. This often leads to stronger negotiations and more accurate valuations of medical care, wage loss, and pain and suffering when allowed by Minnesota law. By coordinating no fault, liability, and potential underinsured claims, we aim to minimize gaps and maximize available coverage. The process also reduces surprises, because potential defenses and evidentiary issues are addressed before they derail your claim. With a complete record in place, you can make informed settlement decisions and stay focused on recovery while your attorney handles the complex, behind the scenes work.
Another benefit is pace control. When your case is thoroughly built, you are not pressured to accept a low offer due to missing records or unclear medical opinions. We synchronize your legal timeline with your treatment plan so settlements reflect your real condition, not a snapshot taken too early. A full approach also preserves leverage for litigation when necessary. Insurers respond differently when they see a well documented file with clear liability, credible damages, and a readiness to proceed. This preparation often shortens disputes and can help produce fair outcomes without unnecessary delays.
Thorough investigation yields objective proof that is hard to ignore. Dispatch logs, GPS trip data, camera footage, and maintenance records can tie events together and counter blame shifting. Witness statements, timely photos, and vehicle inspections help reconstruct the crash reliably. With these pieces organized, we present a consistent narrative that aligns medical findings with crash forces. This clarity reduces room for speculation and helps neutralize arguments about pre existing conditions or unrelated causes. The result is a claim that stands on solid ground, improving your negotiation position and preparing you for court if that step becomes necessary.
A comprehensive approach values more than immediate bills. We account for future medical needs, therapy, medication, time away from work, diminished earning capacity, and non economic harms when permitted. Close coordination with treating providers ensures diagnoses and prognoses are well supported. We also examine every available coverage source to reduce unpaid balances. With a complete picture, insurers are less able to minimize your losses, and you can make settlement decisions with confidence. Careful valuation is not about inflating numbers; it is about telling the full story of how the crash affected your life and what you need to move forward.
Start a claim file the same day if possible. Include photos of the scene, vehicles, and visible injuries, plus names and contact information for witnesses and drivers. Keep all medical discharge notes, prescriptions, and receipts in one place. Save correspondence from insurers and note each phone call with date and details. Ask for the taxi’s company name, cab number, and insurance information. If you suspect cameras captured the crash, request preservation promptly. Early documentation prevents facts from fading and helps your attorney tell a clear story. Strong records make negotiations smoother and reduce disputes about what really happened.
Fast offers can be tempting, especially when bills arrive quickly. However, settling before you understand your diagnosis and future care needs risks leaving money on the table. In Minnesota, your right to pursue additional damages may require meeting certain thresholds, and those cannot be evaluated without sound medical documentation. We can coordinate billing through no fault while you continue care, so you are not pressured into accepting less than your claim’s true value. Our advice is simple, be patient, understand the full picture, and make decisions with complete information. A thoughtful approach typically yields better long term results.
Legal guidance brings order to a chaotic time. After a Minnesota taxi accident, you may face calls from multiple adjusters, complex forms, and conflicting advice. An attorney coordinates benefits, preserves deadlines, and handles communications so you can concentrate on recovery. We assess liability, identify all coverage, and assemble medical and wage documentation that insurers require. By preparing a clear claim package, we reduce delays and avoid common missteps. Even if you are unsure about hiring counsel, a consultation can clarify your options, answer questions about no fault and thresholds, and give you a roadmap for the next steps.
Another reason is preserving evidence. Taxi companies may control key records such as GPS data, maintenance logs, and driver schedules. Early legal action can secure these materials before they are lost. We also evaluate whether third parties, like other motorists or contractors, share responsibility. If your injuries are significant, we prepare from day one for both negotiation and potential litigation. This dual track approach improves leverage at the bargaining table and protects your right to go to court if needed. With Metro Law Offices, you have an organized process designed to support your recovery and your claim.
Taxi injury claims in Minnesota often arise from rear end impacts, distracted driving, failure to yield, unsafe left turns, and winter weather collisions. Passengers may be injured in sudden stop incidents or while entering or exiting the vehicle. Other common scenarios include crashes at busy intersections, collisions with rideshare vehicles, and accidents involving pedestrian right of way. Each situation raises unique questions about liability and insurance coverage. Our firm investigates who had the right of way, whether the taxi met commercial standards, and how the crash forces relate to your injuries. With clear facts, we build a claim aligned with Minnesota law.
Multi vehicle collisions can create complex fault scenarios involving a taxi, another driver, and sometimes a third vehicle. Passengers often experience whiplash, head injuries, or orthopedic harm. We move quickly to gather police reports, camera footage, and witness statements to determine the chain of events. We also work to secure the taxi company’s dispatch and GPS records, which can confirm speed, location, and route. With multiple insurers involved, we coordinate benefits and confirm coverage limits. Our objective is to ensure that each responsible party contributes its fair share so your medical care and losses are properly addressed.
When a taxi collides with a pedestrian or cyclist, injuries can be severe. These cases demand careful attention to right of way rules, visibility, lighting, and driver attentiveness. We pursue dash cam or street camera footage, inspect the scene, and analyze the taxi’s braking and maintenance records. Insurance coverage may include the taxi’s commercial policy and, in some situations, the injured person’s own policy. We document medical treatment and long term effects, including mobility limitations, therapy, and work disruptions. Our goal is to build a strong liability narrative and a complete picture of damages to secure fair compensation.
Passengers can be injured by abrupt braking, unsafe lane changes, or drop offs in hazardous locations. These incidents may not involve a vehicle to vehicle impact, but they still create valid injury claims. We examine whether the driver followed safe passenger handling practices, used appropriate signals, and chose a safe place to stop. We also evaluate the taxi company’s training and policies. Medical documentation is essential to connect the event with your injuries, whether soft tissue harm or more serious conditions. By combining witness accounts, route data, and policy analysis, we work to hold the appropriate parties accountable.
We combine careful investigation with clear communication. From the first call, you get direct, practical guidance about medical care, insurance forms, and documentation. We take over adjuster communications and deadlines so you do not have to. Our team coordinates records from hospitals, clinics, and employers to present a complete damages picture. When appropriate, we consult independent professionals to strengthen causation and future care assessments. Throughout your case, we explain options in plain English and help you make informed decisions at each step. Our goal is to relieve the burden while building a strong, well supported claim.
Commercial taxi cases can involve competing insurers and complicated coverage layers. We analyze policies, identify all potential sources of recovery, and push for timely responses. If there are disputes about fault or medical causation, we address them head on with focused evidence. We also evaluate underinsured motorist coverage when losses exceed available limits. Because we prepare for litigation while negotiating, insurers know the file is ready for court if necessary. That preparation often leads to better settlement offers without delay. You get a steady advocate who keeps the process moving and keeps you informed from start to finish.
Every case is personal. We tailor our strategy to your injuries, financial concerns, and goals, whether that means a swift resolution or a more detailed build out. We provide realistic timelines and regular updates so you are never guessing about status. Our fee structure is contingent, meaning you pay nothing unless we recover for you. We take pride in being accessible and responsive. When questions arise, you receive timely answers. When decisions are needed, you will have the information to choose confidently. Metro Law Offices stands with Minnesota clients seeking fair treatment and fair compensation after a taxi crash.
Our process is built to protect your health and your claim. First, we listen to your story, review available documents, and map out immediate steps, including medical coordination and no fault notices. Next, we investigate liability, request preservation of critical records, and gather evidence. We compile medical and wage documentation as treatment progresses, then present a compelling settlement package when the timing is right. If negotiations stall, we file suit within Minnesota’s deadlines and continue building your case. Through it all, you will receive regular updates, clear explanations, and a team focused on your recovery and results.
We begin with a comprehensive intake to understand your injuries, medical providers, work situation, and insurance coverage. We notify applicable no fault carriers and, when appropriate, the taxi company’s insurer. Early preservation letters go out to secure dispatch data, maintenance logs, and camera footage. We help coordinate billing so care can continue without interruption. If needed, we recommend providers experienced with treating crash related injuries. You receive guidance on documentation, from daily symptom notes to expense tracking. Our initial goal is simple, stabilize your situation, protect your rights, and prepare the foundation for a strong claim.
Timely medical care and accurate forms are essential. We help you submit no fault applications, set up wage loss benefits when available, and route bills correctly. We also track referrals, imaging, and therapy, ensuring records are complete and consistent. When insurers request statements, we advise you on how and when to respond. If recorded statements are sought, we prepare you or decline when appropriate. By resolving early administrative hurdles, we reduce stress and keep the focus on your recovery. This groundwork ensures that later negotiations are based on a clean, well documented claim file.
Liability strategy starts on day one. We seek police reports, 911 records, and nearby camera footage. We request that the taxi company preserve trip data, driver credentials, and maintenance records. When necessary, we arrange for vehicle inspections and consult with reconstruction professionals. We identify potential defendants, including other motorists and contractors, and analyze coverage possibilities. By planning early, we anticipate defenses and gather the proof needed to counter them. This disciplined approach puts your claim on solid footing and often shortens the road to a fair resolution.
As treatment continues, we deepen our investigation. We collect witness statements, analyze scene conditions, and align medical findings with the mechanics of the crash. We compile medical bills, records, and wage documentation, confirming accuracy and completeness. If long term effects are likely, we obtain opinions addressing future care, restrictions, and costs. We also evaluate pain and suffering claims where Minnesota thresholds are met. With these pieces assembled, we prepare a settlement package that tells your story clearly and supports each category of damages with objective proof.
We work closely with your providers to obtain clear, timely records that explain diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. We address any gaps, clarify causation, and ensure that bills and notes match your reported symptoms. We analyze wage loss and, when applicable, reduced earning capacity. For ongoing care, we project future costs based on provider guidance. Our damages analysis converts medical realities into a claim that insurers can evaluate fairly, backed by evidence rather than speculation. This thorough record makes it harder for carriers to discount your injuries or delay payment.
We refine the liability case through additional evidence, including photos, diagrams, and expert input where helpful. At the same time, we map every coverage source, from commercial liability limits to underinsured motorist benefits. Clear coverage mapping prevents surprises at settlement and can open additional avenues of recovery. We also address comparative fault arguments by highlighting objective facts that support your position. With liability and damages both well documented, we are positioned to negotiate from strength and pursue litigation if fair offers do not materialize.
When your medical picture is stable enough to evaluate, we send a detailed demand outlining liability, damages, and supporting evidence. We negotiate firmly and transparently, countering tactics that seek to undervalue your claim. If reasonable settlement is not possible, we file suit and proceed through discovery, depositions, and pretrial motions as needed, always mindful of your goals. Many cases resolve through negotiation or mediation once the defense sees a well prepared file. If trial is necessary, we present your case clearly and persuasively, seeking a fair result under Minnesota law.
Our settlement demands are evidence driven, linking medical documentation, wage loss, and future care needs to the collision mechanics and liability facts. We propose mediation when it can move the case forward and keep costs sensible. Throughout negotiations, we keep you informed and involved in each decision. We evaluate offers against your documented needs and the risks of continued litigation. The objective is a resolution that reflects the full impact of your injuries, not a number driven by convenience.
From day one, we prepare as if the case could go to trial. That means organized exhibits, clear witness outlines, and persuasive visuals that explain how the crash happened and how it affected your life. Litigation readiness often improves settlement leverage and ensures we can move quickly if filing is necessary. If trial becomes the best path, your story will be told through credible evidence, consistent testimony, and a focus on Minnesota law. Our commitment is to pursue a fair outcome while respecting your health, time, and goals.
Start by calling 911 if anyone is injured and request a police response. Get medical attention as soon as you can, even if symptoms seem minor. Exchange information with drivers, take photos of vehicles, road conditions, and visible injuries, and collect contact details for witnesses. Ask for the taxi company name, cab number, and insurance information. If you see nearby cameras, note their locations. Do not discuss fault at the scene. Report the crash to your insurer promptly and keep all paperwork in a single folder. Contact Metro Law Offices for a free consultation. We will explain Minnesota no fault benefits, help preserve evidence such as dispatch logs and camera footage, and handle communications with insurers. Early guidance can prevent missed deadlines and protect your right to seek additional compensation if your injuries meet legal thresholds. Our team can coordinate billing while you focus on medical care and recovery.
Minnesota’s no fault system typically provides initial medical and wage benefits regardless of who caused the crash. Depending on your policy and circumstances, your own no fault coverage may pay first, followed by other applicable policies. We help you submit the necessary forms, route bills correctly, and address any denials. No fault is designed to provide timely care, but it does not always cover everything, and navigating overlapping policies can be confusing. If your injuries and facts meet Minnesota’s thresholds for additional claims, you may pursue compensation from at fault parties, such as a taxi company or another driver. Those claims can include damages not covered by no fault. We evaluate all potential coverage sources, ensure notices are sent on time, and build a medical record that supports your full recovery. Our team coordinates benefits to avoid gaps while preparing your liability claim.
Yes, in many cases you can pursue pain and suffering and other non economic damages if Minnesota’s legal thresholds are met. These thresholds are designed to limit such claims to cases with defined levels of injury or disability. We review your medical records, treatment, and functional limitations to determine eligibility and build the strongest presentation possible. Clear documentation and timely care are essential to support these claims. Even when thresholds are satisfied, insurers often dispute the extent of pain and the effect on daily life. We address those challenges with objective medical evidence, detailed symptom journals, and statements from family or coworkers when appropriate. Our goal is to present a complete picture of how the crash changed your life, supported by facts. With careful preparation, you can seek fair compensation for both economic and non economic harms allowed under Minnesota law.
Minnesota law sets deadlines for filing lawsuits and may require earlier notices to insurers for no fault benefits. The exact timing can vary based on the parties involved and the type of claim. Because taxi cases can include multiple insurers and potential defendants, it is important to identify all applicable deadlines early. Missing a deadline can forfeit your right to recover, even when liability is clear. We recommend contacting an attorney as soon as possible to review your situation and preserve evidence. Our team will calendar all time limits, send preservation requests for key records, and ensure your claim stays on track. Early action also helps us collect fresh witness statements and secure video before it is deleted. Even if you believe there is ample time, starting now reduces risk and strengthens your position.
Passengers can pursue claims against any responsible party, not only the taxi driver. If another motorist caused or contributed to the crash, we will seek recovery from that driver’s insurer. In some cases, both the taxi company and another driver share liability. We conduct a thorough investigation to determine fault and ensure no source of compensation is overlooked. Your rights do not depend on choosing the correct party on day one; evidence will guide the claim. We also evaluate whether additional entities, such as maintenance contractors or municipalities, played a role. Comparative fault may be assessed among multiple parties, but as a passenger, your own fault is often minimal unless unique circumstances apply. Our job is to coordinate all coverage, resolve disputes between insurers, and obtain fair compensation that reflects your medical care, wage loss, and other damages.
Compensation is based on documented losses. Economic damages include medical bills, rehabilitation, medication, mileage to appointments, and wage loss. If long term effects exist, we assess future care and reduced earning capacity with input from your providers. When Minnesota thresholds are met, you may also seek non economic damages such as pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment. Clear, organized records make it easier to obtain fair value. Insurers may challenge causation, argue pre existing conditions, or dispute the necessity of treatment. We counter those arguments with consistent medical documentation, provider statements, and a timeline that links your symptoms to the crash. Each claim is unique, so we tailor our valuation to your injuries and circumstances. Our objective is to present a persuasive, evidence based demand that reflects the full impact of the taxi accident on your life.
Under Minnesota’s modified comparative fault rules, your recovery can be reduced by your percentage of fault. If your share of responsibility is greater than the parties you are claiming against, you may be barred from recovering from them. In taxi cases, fault is often concentrated on drivers and other motorists, but every fact pattern is different. We investigate thoroughly to minimize any allocation of blame to you. Even when partial fault is alleged, a well documented claim can still result in compensation. We gather objective evidence, including photos, videos, and witness testimony, and align it with traffic laws and commercial standards. By presenting a clear, consistent narrative, we work to limit arguments about your responsibility and protect the value of your case. Do not assume partial fault ends your claim; get an evaluation before making decisions.
Strong evidence starts with timely medical records and clear documentation of the crash. Photos of the scene, vehicle positions, skid marks, and visible injuries are valuable. Witness names, phone numbers, and brief statements can preserve key details. Police reports and 911 audio help establish timing and initial observations. Keep a journal describing symptoms, pain levels, and how injuries affect work and daily activities. Commercial data can be equally important. We request taxi dispatch logs, GPS trip data, maintenance records, driver credentials, and any available camera footage. When necessary, we conduct vehicle inspections and consult with reconstruction professionals. The more objective proof we gather, the stronger your claim will be. This organized approach reduces disputes about fault and damages and helps us negotiate from a position of strength.
You are not required to give a recorded statement to another driver’s insurer. These statements can be used to limit or challenge your claim. If a recording is requested, we recommend speaking with an attorney first. Your own insurer may require cooperation, but even then, preparation helps avoid misunderstandings. We guide clients on whether, when, and how to provide information. Our role is to protect your rights while maintaining progress on your claim. We handle communications, provide accurate documentation, and address questions through written submissions when appropriate. If a statement is necessary, we prepare you and participate to ensure clarity and fairness. With the right approach, you can meet obligations without jeopardizing your case.
Metro Law Offices handles taxi accident cases on a contingency fee. That means you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. We also offer free consultations to evaluate your situation, explain Minnesota’s no fault benefits and thresholds, and outline a plan tailored to your needs. During the consultation, we will answer your questions and discuss likely timelines and next steps. If you decide to hire us, we advance the costs necessary to build your case, such as record requests and expert consultations when appropriate. Those costs are reimbursed from any recovery as outlined in our agreement. Our goal is to remove financial barriers so you can focus on healing while we pursue your claim.
