Statute of Limitations
Minnesota has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims (Minn. Stat. § 541.07) with the discovery rule applicable. Minnesota courts apply the Frye-Mack standard for novel scientific evidence, asking whether the scientific methodology is generally accepted in the relevant community — similar to Delaware's Frye standard and potentially more permissive than federal Daubert. The Mayo Clinic's internationally recognized cancer programs provide world-class diagnostic and treatment records for Minnesota claimants.
2 years from date of cancer diagnosis discovery (Frye-Mack standard — potentially favorable)
