If your commercial or residential property suffered damage from the large hailstorm that affected most of the twin cities metro and surrounding areas on August 11, 2023, you may be running out of time on your insurance claim. The August 11, 2023 storms caused a massive amount of damage around a large area of Minnesota. If your property sustained damage from this storm, you likely have a deadline of August 11, 2025 to initiate a lawsuit or lose the ability to recover anything further on your claim.
Most insurance policies have a suit limitation deadline of two years from the date of Loss. This means that if your property sustained damage from the August 11, 2023 storms, you are required to have either fully resolved your claim or to initiate a lawsuit prior to August 11, 2025. Initiating a lawsuit is different than just having a claim open with your insurance carrier. Accordingly, if you have an open claim and you do not take the required step of initiating a lawsuit, your claim may be terminated with no further recovery.
