Minnesota storm claim rules
Reporting: Minnesota: report promptly. Minnesota's standard fire-policy language (Minn. Stat. 65A.01) sets tight timelines, so don't delay notice.
Deadline: General guidance: under Minnesota's standard policy language, suit on a property claim generally must be brought within 2 years after the loss. This is shorter than many states, treat 2 years as a hard planning deadline and verify your policy.
Deductibles: Minnesota hail policies commonly use a separate wind/hail deductible, often a percentage (1%–2%) of dwelling coverage.
General information, not legal advice — verify with Minnesota Department of Commerce (mn.gov/commerce). See the Minnesota storm damage hub for statewide claim guidance.
