Minnesota Personal Injury Settlement Calculator

If you've been injured in Minnesota, understanding the state's specific personal injury laws is critical to getting fair compensation. Minnesota follows a modified comparative negligence system, meaning you can recover as long as your fault doesn't exceed the 51% threshold.

Average Settlement Values in Minnesota

Based on published data and jury verdict reporters, the average auto accident settlement in Minnesota is approximately $27K, with a median jury verdict of $58K. Slip and fall claims average $43K, and medical malpractice cases average $290K. These are averages — individual settlements vary enormously based on injury severity, liability clarity, and available insurance coverage.

Don't Miss the 6-Year Deadline

Minnesota gives you 6 years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. This is longer than most states, but waiting reduces evidence quality and witness reliability. Don't wait.

Insurance Minimums in Minnesota

Minnesota requires minimum bodily injury liability coverage of $30,000 per person / $60,000 per accident (no-fault state). With a minimum of $30K per person, many serious injuries exceed the at-fault driver's coverage limits. Carrying your own Underinsured Motorist (UIM) coverage is strongly recommended — it protects you when the other driver's insurance isn't enough.
