Statute of Limitations
Minnesota has a 6-year statute of limitations for personal injury from truck accidents (Minn. Stat. § 541.05) — one of the most generous in the Midwest. Modified comparative fault with 51% bar. Claims against MnDOT or local government entities require compliance with the Minnesota Tort Claims Act (Minn. Stat. § 3.736). Minnesota's no-fault insurance law requires PIP claims before filing tort claims in many cases.
