Minnesota Motor Vehicle Accident Settlement FAQs
A car accident settlement combines economic damages (medical bills, lost wages, future care costs) plus non-economic damages (pain and suffering). The total is then reduced by your percentage of fault under your state's negligence system — pure comparative, modified comparative, or contributory negligence.
Average car accident settlements range from $15,000–$30,000 for minor injuries, $30,000–$100,000 for moderate injuries, and $100,000–$500,000+ for serious or permanent injuries. The key variables are injury severity, fault percentage, available insurance limits, and your state's damage caps.
In Minnesota, you have 6 years from the date of the incident to file a lawsuit. Minnesota is a no-fault insurance state, which affects how claims are first processed before a lawsuit can be filed. Missing this deadline permanently bars your right to recover — act promptly and consult an attorney before the deadline approaches.
The most impactful factors are: injury severity and permanence, total medical costs (past and future), lost wages and earning capacity, your fault percentage, the other driver's insurance limits, your own UM/UIM coverage, and your state's negligence rules.
