Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a car accident lawsuit in Minnesota?
In Minnesota, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to seek compensation. This is called the statute of limitations.
Do I need a lawyer for a minor car accident in Elk River?
Even for minor accidents, a lawyer can help ensure you receive proper compensation for medical costs and vehicle damage. Minnesota no-fault law requires you to first use your own insurance for basic expenses. A lawyer can advise if your case qualifies for a lawsuit.
How does Minnesota no-fault insurance affect my claim?
Minnesota is a no-fault state, meaning your own insurance pays for medical expenses and lost wages up to your policy limits. You can only sue the other driver if your injuries are severe, such as permanent disfigurement or significant impairment. A lawyer can evaluate if your injury meets this threshold.
