In Minnesota, medical malpractice cases are governed by the state’s statute of limitations. This is important to mention, because this statute creates a deadline for filing a medical malpractice lawsuit in court.
In Minnesota, the deadline is four years starting from the date ‘’the cause of action’’ accrued.
If the injury is obvious and it happens on the same day it occurs, it will start running on that day. Many times a serious injury happens later after the treatment, sometimes even months or years later. In these cases, the four-year window starts when the injured person knows, or should have known, something was wrong. This is also known as the ‘’discovery rule’’.
