The Personal Care And Aggressive Approach You Need After A Rochester Car Accident
A motor vehicle accident can cause physical, financial and emotional damage. If you were injured due to another driver’s negligent or reckless actions, an attorney can make a real difference in how your auto accident claim is resolved. For decades, Klampe Law Firm LLC fought for individuals and families across Minnesota and beyond.
As a smaller firm, Klampe Law Firm LLC can focus on the details that often shape a car accident claim, from the first medical visit to the way the crash changed your daily routine. We will take time to understand the impact of your injuries, missed work, vehicle concerns and the stress your family now has to manage. Our Rochester roots also help us bring local care to clients across southern Minnesota. You will receive guidance built around your specific accident, not a one-size-fits-all plan for a file moved through a large-firm system.
We take all injury claims on a contingency basis. No fees until you collect. It is always free to speak to our lawyer at any point in your case.
We Have Your Best Interests In Mind
Our personal injury practice is built on the principles of providing personal attention and detail-oriented, effective legal representation to every client. We understand that the aftermath of an accident is a sensitive time for many reasons and that there are times you simply need to talk to a lawyer. We will answer your personal injury questions and discuss your concerns in detail as we guide your injury claim through the legal process.
While we are compassionate and empathetic with our clients, we are aggressive and tenacious in pursuit of their rights and damages. You can count on us to fully investigate the cause of the accident and identify all potentially liable parties. We are prepared to advocate and present the strongest possible claim on your behalf.
Following an accident, insurance companies will often try to settle a claim for less than its value or try to deny it altogether. We are known for our vigorous approach to negotiating and litigating cases. Because we prepare every case for the possibility of trial, insurance companies frequently settle cases to our clients’ benefit rather than face us in the courtroom.
It is one thing to discuss our approach. It is another to show examples of what we have done in the past. Please review our results page to see how our law firm has helped people who suffered serious injuries.

While everyone’s case is different, people who have been injured in accidents share many of the same concerns. The questions below are some of the most commonly asked questions we hear.
- Who pays my medical bills when I have been injured in an accident?
- If I am in an accident, will my insurance rates go up?
- Who pays for my vehicle damage after an accident?
- Can I choose which doctor I want to go to for my injuries?
- What if I am unable to work due to my injuries from the accident?
- Am I entitled to any other benefits while I am hurt?
Who pays my medical bills when I have been injured in a Rochester, Minnesota, car accident?
Generally, your own automobile insurance. Minnesota is a no-fault auto insurance state. Under Minnesota’s auto insurance law, your own insurance must pay for any medical care you receive because of your accident up to a certain amount. If you or a family member in the household does not have a car, another insurer will pay these bills, either the insurer of a relative in your household or of a car involved in the collision.
If I am in an accident, will my insurance rates go up?
Your insurance rates will not go up unless the accident was your fault. Each insurance policy sets the rules, but generally, an accident is not considered your fault for rate purposes unless it is deemed at least 20 percent your fault.
Who pays for my vehicle damage after an accident?
The insurance company for the driver who caused the accident is responsible for all of the damage to your vehicle, including any deductible. If you have collision coverage on your own insurance, you can sometimes collect from your own insurer more quickly, minus your deductible, and then your own insurance company will help you seek reimbursement from the at-fault driver’s insurance.
Can I choose which doctor I want to go to for my injuries?
Yes. You have the right to receive treatment from any doctor, chiropractor or other health care professional of your choice and to change doctors if you choose. The no-fault insurer must pay these bills in full, without any co-pays from you.
What if I am unable to work due to my injuries from the accident?
Again, your own auto insurance will pay for your wage loss up to a limit. Under the Minnesota no-fault law, your own insurance company will provide limited weekly payments for lost wages. We will negotiate the claims process for you and assist in securing other sources of wage loss benefits.
Am I entitled to any other benefits while I am hurt?
An experienced personal injury lawyer will explain all benefits you are entitled to under your insurance company policy.
