Legal System Barriers & Challenges
Most of us think that the legal and insurance system will take care of us if we become injured in an accident, especially if that injury is severe or caused by others. Unfortunately, for many people that is not the case. Often the coverage is woefully inadequate. Minnesota's insurance limits were set decades ago and need to be updated and modernized to reflect the reality of today's cost of brain injury care.
