Frequently Asked Questions

What is the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Minnesota?

In Minnesota, most personal injury claims must be filed within six years from the date of your injury. Some claims, like medical malpractice, have shorter deadlines, typically four years. It’s important to consult an attorney promptly to ensure your claim is filed on time and properly prepared. Deadlines protect your legal rights by requiring timely action, so taking steps early helps preserve your opportunity for compensation.

Yes, under Minnesota law, you can be charged with a DWI even if your blood alcohol content (BAC) is below 0.08% if your ability to drive is impaired by alcohol or drugs. The statute considers impairment rather than just BAC levels. Minnesota also enforces stricter penalties for higher BAC levels and has zero tolerance policies for drivers under 21 years old, making legal defense important regardless of BAC readings.

If arrested in Minnesota, you have rights including the right to remain silent, the right to an attorney, and protection from unreasonable searches and seizures. You should be informed of these rights during your arrest. Exercising these rights and consulting with an attorney before answering questions or making statements is critical to protect your legal interests and ensure fair treatment under the law.

Minnesota’s comparative fault law reduces your damages award by the percentage of fault assigned to you, up to 50%. If you are more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover damages. This means your compensation could be reduced proportionally based on your role in the injury. Having knowledgeable legal representation can help minimize the percentage of fault attributed to you and maximize your claim’s value.

Yes, many criminal records can be expunged in Minnesota under certain conditions, allowing individuals to seal their records from public access. However, some serious offenses are excluded from expungement. Expungement requires filing a petition and demonstrating that the benefits of sealing the record outweigh public interest concerns, so legal guidance is recommended throughout the process.

Probation in Minnesota is typically a court-ordered period where the offender remains under supervision instead of jail, while parole refers to supervised early release from prison. Both involve conditions that the individual must follow. Understanding these differences is important for compliance and to avoid violating terms that could result in further penalties or imprisonment.

Immediately after a personal injury accident, seek medical care even if injuries seem minor, as some symptoms may appear later. Reporting the accident to appropriate authorities and your insurance company is also important. Keep detailed records and gather evidence such as photos, witness contacts, and documentation of damages. Consulting a personal injury lawyer early can protect your rights and help you navigate the claims process effectively.

Damages in Minnesota personal injury cases include economic damages like medical costs and lost wages, as well as non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. Punitive damages may be awarded in rare cases. The amount awarded depends on the specific circumstances, and having legal representation helps ensure that all appropriate damages are considered and pursued in your claim.

Our attorneys handle a broad range of criminal charges in Minnesota, including DUI/DWI, drug offenses, violent crimes, theft, sex crimes, and white-collar offenses. We also assist with probation violations and appeals. We work to protect your rights throughout the criminal justice process, striving for outcomes that minimize consequences and safeguard your future.

Whether to accept a plea bargain depends on your case specifics, evidence, and potential penalties. Plea bargains can reduce charges or sentencing but may also involve important trade-offs. Consulting with an experienced criminal defense attorney can help you understand the implications, negotiate favorable terms, and make an informed decision aligned with your best interests.
