Navigating Wrongful Death Cases With Compassion
The sudden loss of a loved one due to another’s carelessness is an ordeal no family should endure. Wrongful death claims arise from various tragic circumstances, such as car accidents, truck crashes, recreational vehicle and boating accidents. Minnesota’s wrongful death laws are designed to address the losses suffered by surviving family members and provide a legal pathway to seek compensation.
In Minnesota, the process for filing a wrongful death claim is governed by specific statutes. There’s a limited period, known as the statute of limitations, during which you can file a claim. Typically, a representative of the deceased’s estate is authorized to file on behalf of eligible family members, including spouses, children, parents, grandchildren and siblings. Compensation in wrongful death cases may include funeral and burial expenses, lost wages and benefits, loss of companionship and compensation for pain and suffering endured by the deceased prior to passing.
We know how overwhelming and stressful this period can be, and our attorneys are here to offer clarity and support. We stand ready to answer your questions and help you understand your legal options, ensuring your loved one’s legacy is honored and justice is served.

How can a wrongful death attorney help?
In the wake of a tragic loss, a wrongful death lawyer can provide the legal expertise necessary to navigate your claim, allowing you to focus on your family and the healing process. We understand the stakes and are prepared to handle every aspect of your case, from investigating the incident to negotiating with insurance companies and fighting for your rights in court if needed.
Should I accept the insurance company’s initial settlement offer?
It is not advisable to accept the initial settlement offer from an insurance company.
