Personal Injury Law & Litigation Services

Car crash claims under Minnesota's no-fault system, tort threshold litigation, and multi-party collisions. Covers PIP benefits, comparative fault under Minn. Stat. § 604.01, and evidence preservation for collision reconstruction.

Rider injury claims involving road rash, fractures, and traumatic brain injury. Motorcyclists face bias from adjusters and unique liability questions around lane positioning and helmet use in Minnesota.

Commercial vehicle collisions involving 18-wheelers, semis, and cargo trucks. Federal FMCSA regulations, logbook violations, and multiple liable parties—carrier, driver, shipper—change the legal picture significantly.

Cyclist injury claims from dooring, intersection collisions, and bike lane violations. Vulnerable road users face severe injuries and Minnesota law provides specific protections for cyclists.

Claims for pedestrians struck at crosswalks, intersections, and parking lots. Pedestrian right-of-way under Minn. Stat. § 169.21 and hit-and-run recovery options through UM coverage.

Uber and Lyft collision claims with layered insurance policies that shift based on driver status. Andrade Law navigates app-based coverage tiers to identify which policy applies to your crash.

Watercraft collisions, drowning, and cold-water immersion injuries on Minnesota lakes and rivers. Boating accident liability involves operator negligence, equipment failure, and recreational safety regulations.

Trail collisions, speed-related crashes, and off-road winter recreation injuries. Minnesota's extensive trail system creates unique liability questions involving trail maintenance, operator conduct, and equipment defects.

Injuries on commercial property, rental housing, and public spaces caused by hazardous conditions, inadequate maintenance, or failure to address known dangers. Minnesota's invitee/licensee/trespasser framework determines the standard of care owed.

Wet floors, uneven surfaces, missing handrails, and inadequate warning signs. Slip-and-fall claims require proof that the property owner knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to address it.

Worksite injuries from falls, equipment failures, and OSHA violations. Construction accident claims often involve multiple liable parties—general contractors, subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, and property owners.

Vehicle damage, diminished value claims, and total-loss disputes after collisions or property destruction. Property damage claims move on a separate track from injury claims and have distinct valuation rules.

Agricultural equipment injuries, grain handling accidents, and livestock-related harm. Rural injury claims face unique challenges with equipment manufacturer liability, farm insurance coverage, and geographic access to medical care.

Minnesota's PIP system pays initial medical expenses and wage loss regardless of fault. When benefits are denied, delayed, or exhausted, and your injuries meet the tort threshold, additional legal options open up.

UM/UIM claims when the at-fault driver lacks adequate coverage. These disputes pit you against your own insurer under Minn. Stat. § 65B.49, requiring a different litigation strategy than third-party claims.

Bad faith denials, lowball offers, and claim processing delays. When an insurer refuses to honor a valid claim or undervalues documented losses, Andrade Law holds them accountable under Minnesota insurance law.

General damages for physical pain, emotional harm, lost quality of life, and chronic conditions. Pain and suffering are real and recoverable in Minnesota once the tort threshold is met—but they require careful documentation.

Workplace injury claims beyond standard workers' comp benefits. When a third party—equipment manufacturer, property owner, or subcontractor—contributed to your injury, additional recovery is available outside the comp system.
