Nursing Home Abuse & Elder Abuse Lawsuit in Minnesota

Statute of Limitations

Minnesota's personal injury SOL is 2 years (Minn. Stat. § 541.07). The Vulnerable Adults Act provides a 6-year limitations period for civil claims — substantially more generous than the general SOL and particularly valuable in complex cases. Wrongful death carries a 3-year SOL. Consult local counsel on which SOL applies to specific claim theories.

6 years under Vulnerable Adults Act; 2 years under general negligence
