What is the deadline in Minnesota?

Minnesota allows 4 years for strict product liability claims (Minn. Stat. § 541.05, subd. 2) and 6 years for other personal-injury claims, such as negligence (§ 541.05, subd. 1(5)). Minnesota uses modified comparative fault with a 51% bar. The District of Minnesota (Minneapolis/St. Paul) is the primary federal venue. A lawyer can confirm yours.

Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
