Minnesota law typically allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim, including burn injuries. However, specific circumstances can affect this time frame, so it’s important to consult an attorney promptly to avoid missing deadlines.
Compensation may include medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, pain and suffering, and in some cases, punitive damages. The exact amount depends on your injury severity and circumstances. A skilled attorney can help estimate and pursue appropriate damages.
