Rush-Hour Collisions on I-35W in Minneapolis

Interstate 35W is one of Minneapolis’s major north-south arteries, accommodating heavy commuter, commercial, and local traffic. The area around East 46th Street is particularly prone to accidents due to frequent lane changes, high vehicle volume, and time-sensitive traffic flows, especially during rush hour.

Crashes in this corridor can lead to a wide range of injuries from whiplash and contusions to concussions or worse. Even seemingly minor collisions can carry a long recovery time, medical bills, and emotional stress for victims and their families. 

Minnesota law grants rights to individuals injured due to someone else’s negligence. Compensation may cover medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. However, insurance companies often act quickly, sometimes offering payouts before the full extent of injuries or damages is known.

Working with a personal injury attorney can make a significant difference. Legal advocates can help gather evidence—such as crash reports, video surveillance, and witness accounts—to strengthen claims and negotiate for fair compensation.

To reduce crash risks on I-35W, motorists are urged to:

• Maintain safe following distances

• Avoid distractions

• Signal lane changes

• Stay alert in heavy traffic zones like E 46th Street

If you or someone you know has been injured in an I-35W crash, seeking prompt medical care and legal advice can help protect health and ensure rightful compensation.
