The Minnesota statutes of limitations for civil cases range from two years for personal injury to 10 years for judgments and liens. Other claims, such as personal property damage and trespass, have a six-year statute of limitations. The same is true for breach of contract.
In most cases, you have six years from the date of an accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in Minnesota. If you miss the filing deadline set by the statute of limitations, your case will most likely be dismissed in court.
