How Minnesota Law Affects Your Rideshare Accident Claim

Minnesota follows a modified comparative fault system with a 51% bar and has no statutory cap on non-economic damages in personal injury cases. The state has a robust plaintiff's bar, particularly in the Twin Cities metro area, which often produces above-average verdicts in serious injury cases. Minnesota's dog bite statute imposes strict liability on owners.

Under Minnesota's modified comparative fault (50% bar) system, your settlement may be affected if you share any responsibility for the accident. Your recovery will be reduced by your fault percentage, and you are barred from recovery if your fault reaches 50% or more.
