If you suffered a serious accident through no fault of your own, you may feel the weight of injustice. Although you did nothing wrong, you are the one enduring the pain, disruption, and financial strain.
A Glencoe personal injury lawyer can help you hold the responsible party accountable. Based in Mankato and serving the surrounding communities, many of our attorneys grew up in outstate Minnesota and have chosen to stay and raise their families. At Maschka Personal Injury, we share your values and are committed to helping you pursue fairness in an unfair situation.
Accidents can happen without warning, in any place, and under any circumstances. Our attorneys can help Glencoe residents pursue justice in a wide range of personal injury cases.
Car, truck, and motorcycle crashes form a major part of our practice, but our experience extends far beyond the road. We regularly handle cases involving:
If an accident results in catastrophic injury or the loss of a loved one, our team is ready to guide and support you and your family through every step of the legal process.
If you come to us for a free consultation, we ask you to share as many details as possible about the incident that caused the injury. We listen closely to understand how the accident affected your family physically, emotionally, and financially, and how it has affected your quality of life.
If you choose to pursue a legal claim, we will investigate the incident, identify potentially responsible parties, and gather evidence of their negligence. We guide you in documenting your injury-related expenses and the changes the accident has caused in your daily life.
We typically contact the responsible parties or their insurance companies by letter to inform them that we represent you. When the case is ready to resolve, we will begin negotiations with the at-fault party’s insurance company, aiming for a fair settlement that fully reflects the harm you suffered. If negotiations fail to produce an acceptable offer, our personal injury attorneys can file a lawsuit in the McLeod County District Court in Glencoe or in another appropriate county.
The person, business, or government agency responsible for the incident may owe you for the economic damages you incurred because of your injury. These damages include lost wages, reduced future earning capacity, and medical expenses.
You can seek compensation for the intangible ways the injury has harmed your quality of life, including:
Our Glencoe personal injury attorneys build your case for pain and suffering damages using many types of evidence, including medical records, photographs, personal journals, and witness testimony.
Even if you were partially at fault for the incident, you may still have the right to bring a claim. Under Minnesota Statutes § 604.01, you can pursue compensation from anyone who bears more responsibility for the accident than you do. However, the law will reduce your total recovery in proportion to your share of fault for the incident.
If you suffer a serious injury and feel unsure where to turn, contact a Glencoe personal injury lawyer at Maschka Personal Injury. Although our offices are in Mankato, we proudly serve clients throughout the entire outstate area. Call us today to speak directly with a member of our team about your case.
