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.

I worked with this wonderful team Katie and Amanda for my divorce. They were so helpful and patient. It was a difficult divorce and many times, they not only took care of the legal matters, but they also helped me calm down and understand what was going on. They are professional but they make you feel that you are their friend. They not only advise, but they also listen! I don't want to have to hire them again (because of a divorce) but I certainly would - hands down.

Mrs. Ingrid and her team were absolutely outstanding! During an uncertain time, Mrs. Ingrid made me feel heard and supported. She provided insight every step of the way and I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer to work with! I would absolutely recommend choosing their firm. We received an excellent outcome in a very prompt timeline. Forever grateful for Mrs.Ingrid and her team!!!

Ben and his team have been an amazing help throughout the whole process. Wasn't an easy one I'm sure but they never once complained, never said anything negative/no chance to win, and never gave up. Any question or comment I had they'd always answer with respect and care. I'd recommend them to anybody even if it's a difficult case you'll have someone on your side no matter what

I recently worked with Claire Bruner-Wiltse in regards to an employment contract review. Claire was amazing with her communication, was timely in her work, and was honest with her opinions and my options. She helped me achieve my goals and fought for me to get what I wanted. I would highly recommend her and her team!

Katie Lammers and Amanda Bean are amazing advocates for women going through child support and custody legal issues. They went above and beyond in supporting my children and myself. I felt heard and cared for during an extremely challenging time. They both took time to address my concerns and explain the legal process in detail. They are both extremely professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Katie and Amanda.

Katie, Courtney and Amanda were amazing. Legally, they did absolute top shelf work and always kept me informed. But they also helped me navigate a challenging divorce from a personal perspective in a way that left me forever grateful. I highly recommend them to anyone who asks.

Katie and her team were wonderful to work with- very communicative, compassionate and professional. I had Katie on retainer for many years to help me navigate an abusive post-divorce co-parent relationship and she advocated and fought for my child's best interest in some of the worst moments of our life. I know from experience that great attorneys can be hard to come by and I'm very grateful that I had Katie to consult with. Highly recommend!!
