  Although Minnesota follows a no-fault system when it comes to car insurance claims, there are scenarios in which injured parties may seek compensation from the at-fault motorist. But before they can recover a single dollar from the opposing party, they must be able to prove negligence played a role in the incident. Since there are countless ways for drivers to be negligent while behind the wheel, there are also countless kinds of evidence to prove it; however, there are certain types of proof that are valuable in virtually all car accident claims. These include: Official Police Reports : Responding officers are going to question everyone at the scene. If the other motorist admits fault or accepts blame, police are going to note as much in the official accident report. Under Minnesota’s implied consent law , police also have the right to administer chemical tests if they believe anyone involved was driving while impaired. Whether they conduct blood, breath, or urine tests will be

Q: My wife had a car wreck in March. The guy who caused the wreck’s insurance company wants to record her over the phone telling them about what happened. Should she do it? Charles, Tucumbia, AL A: The short answer is NO. While you are obligated to cooperate with your own insurance company and give your own insurance company a statement, this does NOT require you to give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance company. In fact, you should never give a recorded statement until you have consulted with an experienced personal injury lawyer. Insurance companies’ claims adjusters are professional negotiators with extensive experience. They are well trained to ask questions in a manner designed to hurt your claim. Insurance adjusters are trained to save money for the insurance companies. If they can do that by making fault questionable or by establishing that your medical claims are unfounded or unrelated, they may avoid having to pay for the full extent of your injurie

Each year, about 2,640 babies are born with a cleft palate and 4,440 babies are born with a cleft lip (with or without a cleft palate), according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Clefts that occur with no other birth defects are one of the most common types of birth defects in the country. Fortunately, surgery can usually correct these defects so that children can grow up to enjoy normal lives. Not all children have access to safe surgery, however, and it’s for that reason that non-profit organization Operation Smile continues to work on children’s behalf around the world. Their global network of medical professionals and supporters help make a difference in the lives of children every day. “Not every country or community around the world is the same,” the organization states on their website . “That’s why we work with local medical professionals, governments, hospitals and other NGOs to create various models of surgical care. Together, we determine which sol

Commercial truck drivers have considerably more experience behind the wheel than the average motorist, but they’re certainly not immune to accidents. When tractor-trailers are involved in collisions, it is likely that severe property damage and devastating injuries will result. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety , the occupants of smaller vehicles typically suffer the worst of the impact in these crashes. An 18-wheeler can weigh 10 to 20 times more than a passenger vehicle, which means those traveling near big rigs in traffic are especially vulnerable to serious injuries and even death. There is no foolproof way to prevent truck accidents, but in an attempt to keep the roads as safe as possible, every state imposes weight limitations on commercial vehicles. This reduces the force of impact when collisions do occur. Additionally, lighter trucks are easier to maneuver around turns, and they require less stopping distance. In the state of Minnesota , the weight lim
