Cited to the statute · Legal information, not legal advice
Understand Minnesota injury claims, from deadline to settlement
The six-year statute of limitations, the 51 percent bar, no-fault auto thresholds, damages, and Rule 114 mediation, explained in plain language.
ABOUT THIS BOOK
After an injury in Minnesota, two rules shape almost every claim: the deadline to file and how fault is shared.
The Minnesota Personal Injury Guide explains negligence law in Minnesota, starting with the four elements of a negligence claim. It covers the general six-year statute of limitations for negligence claims under Minnesota Statutes section 541.05 and the shorter deadline that generally applies to wrongful death claims.
The guide explains Minnesota's modified comparative fault system, often called the 51 percent bar rule, and how it affects recovery. It also explains:
• Why contributory negligence and the last clear chance doctrine no longer apply
• The no-fault auto system and the thresholds for a pain and suffering claim
• Economic, non-economic, punitive, and wrongful death damages
• Discovery, motions, and Rule 114 alternative dispute resolution
• Credit for advance payments and how liens are resolved
Separate sections speak to the injured person and to the defendant or insurer, with real-world questions and answers and checklists for each. Legal information, not legal advice.

QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BUY
Minnesota personal injury law: what to know before you order.
Straight answers about what the guide is, what it covers and how it reaches you.
How long is the statute of limitations for personal injury in Minnesota?
For most negligence-based injury claims, it is six years from the date of injury. Some claims are shorter; wrongful death claims generally must be started within three years. The guide explains the deadlines.
Can a person who was partly at fault still recover in Minnesota?
Under Minnesota's modified comparative fault rule, a person found 50% or less at fault can recover a reduced amount, while 51% or more bars recovery. The guide explains how fault is apportioned.
