Written Contracts – Six-Years: The general rule in Minnesota is that written contracts have a statute of limitations of six years from the date the cause of action accrues. This means that if a party breaches a written contract, the other party has six years from the date of the breach to file a lawsuit.
There are no general rules related to the time period to file a case. However, you almost always have at least a year to file a civil lawsuit. Depending on the type of case or civil action, it could be much longer. Different statutes of limitations apply to different types of cases and causes of action.
