Under Minnesota Statutes section 549.09, subdivision 1(b), if an offer of settlement is made and it is closer to the judgment than the opposing party's offer, preverdict interest shall accrue from the time of the written notice of claim to the time of the jury award only if the plaintiff commenced the action within two years of the written notice of claim.
