Minnesota Deadlines Matter
The statute of limitations for most personal injury claims in Minnesota is six years from the date of the crash, but evidence disappears quickly and some claims (such as those against an underinsured motorist) carry shorter deadlines. The sooner you call, the more we can do.
Minnesota No-Fault and Your Car Accident Claim
Minnesota is a no-fault auto insurance state. Your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) — at least $40,000, generally $20,000 for medical bills and $20,000 for wage loss — pays regardless of who caused the crash. When your injuries are serious enough to exceed PIP limits or meet Minnesota’s injury threshold, you can step outside no-fault and pursue the at-fault driver for the full value of your losses.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Minnesota?
Most injury claims carry a six-year statute of limitations, but PIP benefits must be pursued much sooner and evidence fades fast — so it’s best to act quickly.
Will using my own PIP raise my rates?
PIP is no-fault coverage you’ve already paid for; using it after a crash that wasn’t your fault generally shouldn’t raise your premiums.
Should I accept the insurer’s first offer?
Usually not — first offers are often well below a claim’s full value. Talk to us before signing a release or giving a recorded statement.
What does hiring a car accident lawyer cost?
Nothing up front. We work on contingency — no fee unless we recover for you.
