Minnesota Injury Law in Goodhue County
Injury claims arising in Goodhue County are generally heard in the District Court in Red Wing. Minnesota gives most injury victims six years from the date of injury (Minnesota Statutes § 541.05) to file a claim, though wrongful death claims carry a shorter three years from the date of death (Minnesota Statutes § 573.02) deadline and claims against public entities require notice within 180 days. Under Minnesota's modified comparative fault rule (Minnesota Statutes § 604.01), you can recover compensation as long as you were not more than 50% at fault, with your award reduced by your share of responsibility. For motor-vehicle crashes, remember that Minnesota is a no-fault auto insurance state: your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage pays initial medical bills and lost wages regardless of fault, and you can step outside the no-fault system to pursue the at-fault driver only when your injuries meet a tort threshold — $4,000 or more in medical expenses, permanent injury, permanent disfigurement, or 60+ days of disability (Minnesota Statutes § 65B.51).
