What To Do if You’re Injured in Roseville

In any accident, your health and well-being are your top priority. Here are the steps to follow after you are injured in an accident:

1

1. Seek Immediate Medical Attention

If you are severely injured, call 911 for transport to a nearby trauma center. For immediate care in the Roseville area, residents often utilize:

Pro Tip: Ensure you tell the provider your injury occurred in an accident so it is coded correctly for your Minnesota No-Fault (PIP) claim.

2

Gather evidence, documentation, and contact information.

Start gathering evidence as soon as possible. The following information will be useful to your attorney:

  • Photos of the scene and your injuries
  • Medical records and bills
  • Insurance and contact information of the opposing party
  • Names and contact information of witnesses

3

File a police report.

Report the accident to the Roseville Police Department as soon as possible by calling 911 or dispatch at 651-767-0640. This is required by state law.

4

Obtain legal representation

Contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible. The sooner you involve an attorney, the more effectively your attorney can investigate your claim. The personal injury attorneys at Milavetz Injury Law, P.A. have the resources to build a strong case and win you the maximum award available.

We Are Experienced Personal Injury Attorneys

Milavetz Injury Law, P.A. has experience handling cases involving serious injuries and wrongful deaths resulting from the following:

Car Accidents on Roseville Highways & Intersections

Roseville’s position as a major retail hub and transit corridor means heavy, high-speed traffic. We routinely handle severe collision cases originating on Highway 36, the congested Snelling Avenue corridor near Rosedale Center, and Lexington Avenue. If you were rear-ended or hit by a distracted driver in Ramsey County, our car accident attorneys will investigate the specific crash site, work to secure local traffic camera footage, and pursue maximum compensation under Minnesota's comparative fault rules.

Truck Accidents

Truck accidents are especially devastating because trucks are many times larger and heavier than passenger vehicles. In 2020, the occupants of small passenger vehicles accounted for 88% of fatalities and 87% of injuries in accidents involving trucks. If you are injured because of a truck accident, our experienced truck accident lawyers will work vigorously to hold the trucking company accountable.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents often occur because drivers fail to yield or are distracted. Failure to see motorcycles legally on the road is negligent. If a driver has injured you in a motorcycle accident, our motorcycle accident attorneys will ensure you are compensated to the fullest extent available.

Bicycle/Pedestrian Accidents

Minnesota drivers are required to share the road with bicyclists and yield to pedestrians, yet ten bicyclists and forty-five pedestrians lost their lives in 2020 in car crashes. This is unacceptable. The bicycle accident attorneys and pedestrian accident attorneys at Milavetz Injury Law, P.A. are committed to righting these wrongs.

Wrongful Death

Wrongful death is one of the most devastating circumstances negligence can cause. At Milavetz Injury Law, P.A., we understand the difficulties this causes families. Our Minnesota wrongful death attorneys can help your family hold those accountable whose negligence caused your circumstance and assist you with other family matters that arise out of the death.

Workers' Compensation

Minnesota workers experienced 67 fatalities in 2020, with the highest number occurring in the construction industry. Employers have a duty to provide safe conditions and carry workers’ compensation. Unfortunately, some employers fight employees who seek compensation. Our workers’ compensation attorneys will work to stop your employer’s tactics and win you the compensation you deserve.

Product Liability

Manufacturers owe the public a duty to produce safe products. When they allow unsafe products to reach the marketplace, they are liable for the resulting harm. If you have been injured because of a product you purchased, our product liability attorneys will help you file a claim for compensation.

Premises Liability

Minnesota winter weather contributes to the number of falls, but many other conditions are also to blame. These include trip hazards, inadequate railing, poorly maintained steps, poor lighting, uneven concrete, and more. If you have been injured on public or private property because of conditions the property owner could have remedied, our premises liability lawyers will help you hold the negligent property owner accountable.

Medical Malpractice

Healthcare providers who fail to provide competent care commit a grievous act. Medical malpractice cases can be especially complex, and insurance companies tend to fight strenuously against claims. The experienced Minnesota medical malpractice attorneys at Milavetz Injury Law, P.A. are not intimidated by their tactics, and we will pursue maximum damages on your behalf.

Harmful drugs and medical devices

When medical devices and drugs not only fail to provide the promised benefits but also cause harm, the resulting injuries can be catastrophic. Our harmful drugs and medical devices attorneys have won our clients substantial compensation.

How To Get to Our Roseville Office

  • Parking: Free, accessible surface parking is available directly in front of our building for clients with mobility limitations.
  • Driving from St. Paul: Take I-35E North to Hwy 36 West, then take the Lexington Ave exit. Head north for approximately 0.5 miles; our office will be on the right.

What type of compensation am I entitled to?

The compensation you can receive varies by the severity of your injuries and how they occurred. The three types of damages you could receive are economic, non-economic, and punitive.

Economic Damages

Economic damages are verifiable monetary losses, including lost wages, medical expenses, and property damage. In wrongful death cases, these include the loss of the decedent’s income and burial expenses. Our attorneys will help you determine which of these medical expenses are covered under your Minnesota PIP policy and which must be recovered directly from the at-fault driver’s liability insurance.

Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages compensate you for losses that lack a precise receipt, such as pain and suffering, disfigurement, and loss of companionship. While Minnesota generally does not cap non-economic damages, claims against municipal entities (such as a Roseville city vehicle or the Roseville Area School District) are strictly capped at $500,000 per person under Minn. Stat. § 466.04. If your case must go to trial, we will present your non-economic damages to a jury at the Ramsey County Courthouse.

Punitive Damages

Punitive damages are awarded as a punishment against the at-fault party when the evidence shows the injuries occurred because of a “deliberate disregard for the rights or safety of others” (Minn. Stat. § 549.20).

Laws Specific to Auto Accidents:

Minnesota drivers are required to carry at a minimum the following insurance:

  • Personal injury protection (PIP): Provides basic economic loss benefits of $40,000 per person ($20,000 medical / $20,000 non-medical) as mandated by Minn. Stat. § 65B.44.
  • Liability insurance: $30,000 for injuries per person / $60,000 per accident and $10,000 property damages.
  • Uninsured motorist coverage: $25,000 per person. If the at-fault driver has no insurance, a Roseville accident lawyer can help you navigate a claim against your own policy.

Minnesota is a no-fault state. Thus, drivers are required to file claims against their own PIP coverage first. To be eligible for non-economic benefits (pain and suffering) in a motor vehicle accident, you must meet a “tort threshold,” such as having medical expenses that total at least $4,000 or a permanent injury.

Consulting with a Roseville injury attorney early ensures you understand these thresholds and do not miss the six-year statute of limitations typically applicable to Minnesota negligence claims.

What actual evidence do we use to prove liability?

Insurance companies will not simply take your word for what happened. To force a fair settlement or win at the Ramsey County Courthouse, our investigative team immediately moves to secure concrete evidence, including:

  • Crash Data Retrieval (Black Box): For commercial trucking and severe car accidents, we download the vehicle’s Electronic Data Recorder (EDR) to prove the at-fault driver’s speed, steering, and braking at the moment of impact.
  • Traffic & Security Cameras: We routinely request MnDOT traffic camera footage along Highway 36 and I-35W, as well as subpoenaing private security footage from nearby Roseville retail businesses.
  • Cell Phone Records: To prove distracted driving, we can subpoena the at-fault driver’s mobile carrier to show they were texting, browsing, or calling at the time of the crash.
  • Official Police Reports: We obtain the official crash reports from the Roseville Police Department or Minnesota State Patrol to leverage officer testimony regarding citations issued at the scene.

Minnesota Laws Governing Personal Injury Cases

Joint Liability When multiple parties are jointly liable for your injuries, each party is apportioned a share of the fault. Each party whose share of the fault exceeds 50% is liable for the entire award both jointly and severally. Comparative Fault Under Minnesota’s comparative fault rule, you can receive compensation if you are partly at fault if your share of the fault does not exceed 50%. Your award will be diminished proportionally.

Minnesota Statute of Limitations

While most states have adopted a discovery rule, Minnesota has not. Consulting with a Roseville injury attorney immediately ensures you do not lose your right to file.

  • Property damage: 6 years from the date of the incident (Minn. Stat. § 541.05).
  • Medical malpractice: Generally 4 years from the date of the alleged malpractice.
  • Wrongful death: 3 years (Minn. Stat. § 573.02).
  • Standard personal injury cases: 6 years.
  • Injuries to minors: The statute of limitations starts to run on the day of the injury but will be tolled until the child reaches the age of majority (Minn. Stat. § 541.15).
