Minnesota has both minimum threshold which you must exceed before you may file a lawsuit to recover pain and suffering damages and, in certain cases, maximum amounts which the Court may award for pain and suffering.<\/p>\r\n<p><i>No-Fault Insurance<\/i><\/p>\r\n<p>Minnesota is one of the few states which uses the &quot;<a href=\"https:\/\/codes.findlaw.com\/mn\/insurance-ch-59a-79a\/mn-st-sect-65b-49.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">no-fault<\/a>&quot; system to pay for car accident injuries.

As the name implies, injured parties who are 50% or more at fault for their own injuries are barred from recovering any damages.<\/p>\r\n<p><i>Patient or Inmate Limitation<\/i><\/p>\r\n<p>If you or a loved one was injured or if a loved one died while under the care of a state institution (such as a state-owned mental hospital), a veterans&#8217; hospital, or a state prison, if you bring your claim under <a href=\"https:\/\/codes.findlaw.com\/mn\/legislature-ch-3-3e\/mn-st-sect-3-738.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Minn. Stat. \u00a73.738<\/a>, you will be unable to recover pain and suffering damages.<\/p>\r\n<p><i>Time Limits<\/i><\/p>\r\n<p>Minnesota&#8217;s deadlines, also known as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/state\/minnesota-law\/minnesota-civil-statute-of-limitations-laws.html\" target=\"_blank\">statutes of limitations<\/a>, require that you file a lawsuit for personal injury claims within two years of the date of injury. For property damage, you must file a claim within six years. For <a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/injury\/car-accidents\/car-accident-pain-and-suffering-damages.html\" target=\"_blank\">car accident claims<\/a> within the no fault limits, you should file within six months of the accident, but the deadline is not strict the way that the other deadlines are.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Learn More About Pain and Suffering Damages in Minnesota: Speak to an Attorney<\/h2>\r\n<p>If you suffered injuries in an accident and suddenly Caribou Coffee is no longer comforting, or if the winter left you wounded and wailing after a store owner failed to warn you about an icy walkway, it&#8217;s a good idea to speak with a local <a href=\"https:\/\/lawyers.findlaw.com\/personal-injury-plaintiff\/minnesota\/?fli=dcta\" target=\"_blank\"
