Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist

Minnesota’s mandatory UM/UIM laws are complex and potentially dangerous if not handled properly by skilled, experienced lawyers. Early identification of these issues , active monitoring and if necessary, participation in underlying tort claims can make a huge difference in exposure and prevent unwelcome surprises that can result from last minute settlements or poorly defended tort trials. Many plaintiffs’ lawyers use these claims to attempt to set up first party bad faith claims, and it is important to understand their strategy from the outset in order to avoid these claims. Our lawyers know where the landmines are, and how to avoid them. Starting with coverage analysis and risk assessment and continuing through negotiations and trials or arbitrations, our lawyers have the experience and skills to help you navigate this area of exposure and reach your goals.
