Storm climate
Why Minnesota sees so many storm claims
Minnesota's June–August severe season brings large hail, derecho-strength winds, and frequent tree-strike damage across the Twin Cities and beyond. The state's short but intense storm window, combined with a two-year suit-limitation deadline, makes prompt documentation especially important for Minnesota homeowners.

Filing deadlines & deductibles in Minnesota
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). For the full picture, read our claim time limits by state and roof deductibles guides.
