Is Arbitration mandatory for all No-Fault Claims?
No, arbitration is mandatory for claims of $10,000.00 or less at the commencement of arbitration. Rule 5(a). However, a no-fault insurer does not need to submit to mandatory arbitration where the aggregate of the insured’s claim for no-fault benefits exceeds the jurisdictional limit. Grinnell Mut. Reinsurance Co. vs. Arens, 478 N.W.2d 235 (Minn. App. 1991).
