What do we actually know about Minneapolis?
Two public records. The Census Bureau estimates Minneapolis has about 430,324 residents. The federal crash census (NHTSA FARS) counts 270 fatal crashes in Hennepin County from 2020 to 2024, the most in 2021 (68). Those are county-wide counts, not Minneapolis alone. Neither figure says an attorney is available here, and neither indicates what any particular case is worth.

NHTSA FARS — Fatality Analysis Reporting System, 2020–2024, across Hennepin County. "After dark" is the crash report's light condition; "rural" is the road's classification, not the city's; a cyclist is counted only when being struck was the first harmful event. Source
