Ranges vary by claim type. Confirm the date that applies to you with a participating attorney.
Auto system

Local context
Minnesota law explained
Auto coverage in Minnesota runs on a no-fault basis. PIP payments are frequently the first recovery after a crash, and further rules govern when a suit against another driver is allowed. Icy pavement and Twin Cities freeway conditions often surface in disputes.
A six-year filing window covers many injury lawsuits, though certain claims face tighter deadlines. Ask a Minnesota lawyer which limit fits your matter.
Issues that often come up in Minnesota reviews
01
PIP first, then a possible lawsuit
After a Twin Cities or Duluth wreck, no-fault benefits often pay medical bills first. A threshold can limit a suit against another driver. Ice and freeway conditions are frequent fact issues.
02
Longer ranges are not automatic
Many Minnesota injury lawsuits are discussed around a six-year or shorter period depending on the claim. Government and other special claims can be faster. Ask which clock applies.
03
Family and DUI
Submitting a form does not start a case in Hennepin County and does not create an attorney-client relationship. A reviewing lawyer can explain the local court that would hear a family or DUI matter.
