Seeking Advice: GF's dad was hit today while riding his bike in residential area in Andover, MN Hi CyclingMSP,
My girlfriend's dad was hit by a motor vehicle today while riding his bicycle in a residential area in Andover, MN. Apparently a car was accelerating around a corner and did not see my GF's dad. My GF's dad is currently in the ER being treated for back spasms and I am awaiting additional updates/info.
Does anyone know of any pro-bono bike lawyers they recommend? Additionally, what else should be done following a bike crash beyond submitting a police report and seeking out witness statements?
Thanks!

The state bar association is a decent first resource for people seeking an attorney: https://www.mnbar.org/ Personal injury attorneys have a pretty bad reputation in the legal community, but in this case I'd try to have at least a consultation with someone to talk about your options going forward. I certainly wouldn't settle with the driver's insurance without having representation.
