01 · Your filing deadline

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)). Minn. Stat. § 541.15 suspends the deadline while the injured person is under 18, but not for more than one year after the person turns 18. Minnesota's consumer protection laws (Minn. Stat. § 8.31) provide a 6-year window for deceptive practice claims. 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.
