The Schmidt Salita Law Team is proud to say it is Minnesota’s premier personal injury law firm in many respects, but especially in the handling of No-Fault Insurance claims. It is important that Minnesota’s legal system requires the victims of Personal Injury or Wrongful Death in motor vehicle collisions, whether car accidents, trucking accidents, or car-pedestrian accidents, to seek benefits from their own No-Fault insurance before proceeding with a claim against the At-Fault driver. For that reason, it is important that the victims of motor vehicle accidents have the representation of a law firm knowledgeable in the handling of the No-Fault portion of the case, as well as the At-Fault portion of the case.
Doug Schmidt at Schmidt Salita Law Team has over 40 years’ experience in handling No-Fault claims. As far back as 1974, Mr. Schmidt represented the interests of the Minnesota Trial Lawyers Association (now Minnesota Association for Justice) in lobbying the Minnesota Legislature with regard to the Minnesota No-Fault Insurance Act.
