The Statute of Limitations for Car Accident Claims in Minnesota
Minnesota law gives victims two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. For claims involving property damage, you may have up to six years to file. Missing these deadlines can prevent you from recovering compensation, so it’s critical to act promptly.
Understanding Damages You May Recover
A successful car accident claim can result in compensation for a variety of damages, including:
- Medical expenses may be awarded to cover hospital bills, ongoing treatment, medications, and therapy.
- Lost wages can be reimbursed for missed work due to injury or recovery.
- Pain and suffering damages may be recovered to compensate you for physical and emotional distress caused by the accident.
- Property damage includes repairs or replacement for your vehicle and other personal property.
- Future costs may include lost earning capacity or future medical treatment due to severe injuries.
What Does It Take to Prove Negligence?
To recover compensation, you must prove that the other driver was negligent.
Negligence requires four key elements:
- Duty of Care – The other driver had a legal responsibility to drive safely.
- Breach of Duty – The driver violated traffic laws or acted recklessly.
- Causation – Their actions directly caused the accident and your injuries.
- Damages – You suffered losses from the accident, such as medical expenses or lost income.
Our attorneys are skilled in gathering evidence, reconstructing accident scenes, working with expert witnesses, and building strong cases to demonstrate negligence.
