Statue of Limitation for Personal Injury Cases in Minnesota
Minnesota imposes a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury cases including drunk driving accidents according to Minnesota Statutes section 541.07.
Therefore, you must file a claim before the two-year deadline to recover your medical bills and other financial losses from your drunk driving accident.
