Minnesota Truck Accident Injury Lawyers
Semi-truck accidents result in some of the most serious personal injury cases we handle at the law firm of Heimerl & Lammers.
Regardless of who was at fault in a car-truck collision, it is always the driver and passengers in the car who pay the price. As lawyers, we take our responsibilities of representing those victims very seriously.
Minnesota’s no-fault insurance will pay up to $20,000 in medical bills and another $20,000 in lost wages, regardless of who caused the accident. However, if you have been seriously injured, that money will not go far.
If the accident was the fault of the truck driver or trucking company, you could sue their insurance company for additional damages.
Commercial truck carriers are required to carry a substantial amount of insurance to pay for the damages of the people they injured. In many cases, there are separate policies to cover the driver, the truck and the trailer. As a result, insurance coverage is usually not a problem in a truck accident case, as long as you can prove liability against the truck driver or trucking company.
How is Fault Determined in Truck Accident Cases?
As a part of our investigation, our lawyers will order truck maintenance and driver history records from the trucking company. Trucking companies are required by Department of Transportation to conduct regular maintenance and safety checks of commercial tractor trailers. They are also required to hire qualified drivers.
Truck drivers are required to take regular rest breaks while they are on the road. Our lawyers will examine the driver’s logbook, gas receipts and other records to determine if driver fatigue played a role in causing the accident.
We always investigate the scene of the accident and take pictures to use in accident reconstruction. If there were witnesses, our attorneys will obtain witness statements.

Throughout the process, they were incredibly responsive and always made me feel like a priority. They took the time to explain each step of the process, ensuring I was well-informed and comfortable with every decision I made. This transparency and ability to communicate clearly helped alleviate much of the stress and anxiety I was experiencing.
Katie and her entire team were very strategic in their approach even when dealing with a difficult opposing council, and advocated strongly for my interests. Their attention to detail and dedication resulted in a fair settlement that gave me primary parenting time with my young son.
I highly recommend Heimrl and Lammers (Katie Lammers) to anyone in need of a trustworthy, compassionate, and highly skilled divorce attorney.
We felt comfortable and assured through our legal process.
We just wanted to thank you for taking on my case and we are very grateful for the outcome. You explained things to us when we didn't get what was happening, (my mind just goes blank when I'm nervous) and you were always pleasant to work with.
Thank you so much!
