In 1974, the Minnesota Legislature passed the "Minnesota No-Fault Act." This ensures that victims of car accidents can quickly and easily receive financial help through their own automobile insurance - regardless of their fault or innocence in the crash. This is applicable to passengers, pedestrians, and other drivers who were injured regardless of their role in the collision. Under no-fault insurance, you are entitled to: Wage loss benefits Medical treatment bills Replacement services Survivor benefits

Underinsured and uninsured motorist coverage is required by the Minnesota No-Fault Act. If an uninsured driver injures you, your own insurance provides coverage for your bodily injury damages (such as pain, suffering, and permanent injury) through the uninsured motorist coverage portion of your own automobile insurance policy. Similarly, if the at-fault driver's insurance policy does not provide adequate coverage to compensate you for your injuries, you can be compensated through your own underinsured motorist coverage for a shortfall in coverage. The required minimum amount of uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage you must have under Minnesota law is $25,000 per person and $50,000 per crash, but we strongly recommend you buy at least $100,000 to $300,000, if not more, in uninsured motorist insurance. Increasing this coverage is relatively inexpensive and it ensures that you and your family are protected if an uninsured motorist injures you. While these coveraged are not required by Minnesota law to be provided in motorcycle insurance policies you can purchase uninsured and underinsured motorist protection for your motorcycle policy, which we strongly encourage so that you ensure that you are protected.

If you have more than one automobile we strongly recommend that you purchase "stacking" insurance coverage. You can purchase stacking coverage for a nominal fee, and doing so will double the amount of no-fault coverage you can collect from your insurance in the event of an accident. This is especially beneficial for drivers who do not have medical insurance, because it provides affordable extra protection in the event of severe injury from a major crash. Stacking only applies to your no-fault coverage and does not apply to your liability, uninsured, or underinsured coverage.

The short answer is that there is rarely money available right away to cover your expenses. Sometimes there is a medical payment provision available to provide some coverage of expenses upfront through the animal owner's homeowner's or renter's insurance policy. To obtain full compensation, a claim needs to be filed with the animal owner's homeowner's insurance policy or renter's insurance policy as soon as possible. These claims can take months, sometimes even years, to fully resolve. It is important that the extent of your injuries and any long-term scarring is realized in order to ensure that you get fully compensated for your injuries. Therefore, you will likely need to use your own health insurance coverage to treat your injuries upfront.
