How we match your Eden Prairie personal injury case

When you submit a Eden Prairie personal injury matter, we route it through a national network of independent partner firms and put it in front of the one that fits best — based on the kind of case it is, what it is likely to involve, where it has to be handled, and who has capacity to take it on now.

  1. Case type

    A personal injury matter needs someone who handles personal injury work day to day, not a generalist. Practice area is the first filter.

  2. Size and complexity

    Some firms are built for catastrophic injury and multi-party litigation; others resolve straightforward claims quickly. We weigh what your matter is likely to involve against how each firm actually works.

  3. Jurisdiction and licensing

    Your matter is decided under Minnesota law, so it goes to an attorney licensed in Minnesota who regularly appears where your case would be heard.

  4. Capacity and fit

    Availability, conflicts of interest and language all matter. If the best-fit firm cannot take your case, we route it to the next one that can — or tell you plainly when no one in the network is the right answer.

Every partner reviews your case for free. Injury and workers’ compensation matters are handled on contingency — no fee unless you win. Other matters are quoted upfront, before you commit to anything.

DearLegal provides marketing and matching services and is not a law firm. Submitting a case does not create an attorney-client relationship. Matches depend on case type, jurisdiction and firm availability.

Most Minnesota personal injury attorneys work on contingency: the fee is a share of what they recover, and nothing if they don’t.

Personal injury attorneys in Minnesota work on a contingency fee basis — typically 33% to 40% of the total recovery. Minnesota’s No-Fault Act coordination and Tort Claims Act notice rules require careful case planning. Case expenses are typically advanced by the firm and deducted from the final recovery.

Exhibit F

Eden Prairie personal injury questions, answered

Still unsure? Tell us what happened and a Minnesota attorney will review it for free.

Eden Prairie is in Hennepin County, so most injury lawsuits are filed in Hennepin County District Court. If the crash or incident happened in a neighboring county, that county's district court may be the proper venue. An attorney will confirm based on the location and the parties involved.
Often yes. Minnesota divides fault among the people involved and reduces recovery in proportion to your share, rather than automatically ending the claim. Insurers still argue for a large share against you, so photos, witness names, and police or incident reports matter a great deal.
Minnesota sets deadlines that vary by the kind of claim and by who the defendant is, and claims involving a city or other public entity can carry much shorter notice requirements. Rather than rely on a general figure, have a Minnesota attorney confirm your specific deadline right away.
Minnesota distinguishes by claim type. Most negligence-based personal injury is six years under Minn. Stat. § 541.05(1)(5). Intentional torts (assault, battery, false imprisonment) are two years under § 541.07. Wrongful death is three years (action must commence within three years of death, but not more than six years from the act under § 573.02). Tort Claims Act notices run separately.
Under Minn. Stat. § 604.01, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault, but if your fault is greater than the defendant’s you recover nothing. Combined with the modified joint-and-several rule at 50%, apportionment drives the math.
