Car accident lawyer in Savage, MN

What to do right after a crash in Savage

See a doctor within a day or two, because Minnesota's no-fault benefits and any later claim depend on medical records. Ask the responding officer for the report number; Savage police, the Scott County sheriff or the State Patrol may have handled it. Photograph vehicles, lanes, signals and snow or ice. Exchange information with the other driver and get witness contacts. Keep a folder of bills, appointment summaries and missed work. File your no-fault application with your own carrier promptly. Avoid recorded statements to the other driver's side until you have advice. Minnesota deadlines differ by claim type.

Savage traffic and crash patterns

Savage sits in Scott County on the south bank of the Minnesota River, between Burnsville and Prior Lake. State Highway 13 runs through the city as its main commuter corridor, connecting to I-35W to the east and US 169 to the west, and the US 169 river crossing is a daily bottleneck. County Road 42 is a busy retail and commuter arterial along the southern edge. Rapid residential growth has added traffic faster than intersections have been upgraded. Winters bring snow, ice and whiteouts on open stretches, and spring flooding along the river occasionally closes roads. Rear-end crashes on Highway 13, merge collisions at the US 169 interchanges and intersection crashes on County Road 42 are familiar.

We explain how Minnesota's no-fault system works, including the thresholds for pursuing the at-fault driver. The call costs nothing and obligates you to nothing. When your facts do not amount to a case an attorney would take, we say that plainly and suggest practical next steps.
