In Minnesota, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the injury. It’s important to act promptly to ensure your claim is filed within this timeframe and preserved properly.
You may recover economic damages such as medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage, as well as non-economic damages like pain and suffering. The specifics depend on the case and applicable laws.
Many personal injury cases resolve through negotiation or settlement outside of court. However, if a fair agreement cannot be reached, your case may proceed to trial where an attorney will represent your interests.
Fault is determined by examining the actions of all parties involved, often using police reports, witness statements, and expert analysis. Minnesota follows comparative fault laws which can affect damages awarded.
Minnesota uses a modified comparative fault rule, meaning you can recover damages if you are less than 50% at fault. Your compensation will be reduced in proportion to your degree of fault.
Most personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no upfront fees and only pay if you recover compensation. This arrangement helps ensure access to legal representation.
If your claim is denied, an attorney can assist in appealing the decision, negotiating further, or pursuing a lawsuit. Timely legal advice is important to protect your rights.
Case duration varies widely depending on complexity, parties involved, and court schedules. Some cases resolve in months while others may take a year or more.
Pain and suffering compensation compensates for emotional distress and physical hardship caused by injury. Eligibility and amounts depend on the details of your case and applicable state laws.
