What Is Wrongful Death?
The term “wrongful death” refers to a certain type of personal injury claim. In such claims, the injured party does not survive, and their loved ones file the claim in their place.
Wrongful death is the result of another party’s negligence or misconduct. Common causes of wrongful death include:
- Medical malpractice, which is negligence by healthcare providers
- Auto accidents, where reckless or impaired drivers cause fatal collisions
- Workplace accidents, often arising from employer negligence or unsafe conditions
In wrongful death cases, families may seek justice and compensation to account for lost income, emotional distress, and funeral expenses.
Why Hire a Wrongful Death Attorney?
When seeking compensation for wrongful death, hiring an attorney is essential.
First, these professionals can navigate complex legal processes. They understand the intricacies of filing a claim, and they can effectively manage deadlines, paperwork, and court procedures.
Second, attorneys have a deep understanding of state laws and relevant wrongful death regulations. This knowledge helps ensure that families maximize their claims and remain legally compliant.
Third, a wrongful death attorney has the skills necessary to negotiate with insurance companies. They can advocate for fair compensation and oppose low settlement offers.
With our team by your side, you can focus on healing while we fight for your rights and help you secure justice.
Compensation You Could Receive in a Wrongful Death Claim
In Minnesota, the family of the deceased may seek various damages in a wrongful death claim.
Primary forms of compensation in a wrongful death claim include:
- Economic Damages:
This compensation covers quantifiable losses such as medical bills, funeral expenses, and lost income the deceased would have provided. Families can also claim loss of benefits, such as inheritance. - Non-Economic Damages:
This compensation addresses the emotional impact of the loss. These damages include compensation for pain and suffering, loss of companionship, and emotional distress.
In cases of extreme negligence or wrongdoing, Minnesota also allows for punitive damages. Courts can order defendants to pay these damages to punish them for their actions.
Our team can evaluate your case and help you decide which forms of compensation you should pursue in your wrongful death claim.
