Wrongful Death
The Minnesota wrongful death attorneys at Fields Law Firm know the difficulty of discussing the death of a loved one. If a loved one has died as the result of a personal injury accident the thought of sorting out the medical, financial and legal issues can seem overwhelming. No amount of money can replace the loss of a family member or adequately compensate you for your loss, but there is help available.
If you have lost a family member due to a wrongful death in Minnesota you may be entitled to compensation including:
• Reimbursement of medical expenses
• Reimbursement of funeral expenses
• Potential earnings
• Loss of advice, comfort, assistance and protection
• Financial support provided to the household
• In certain cases punitive damages
If there has been a serious accident causing a fatality such as a car accident, pedestrian accident or someone was accidentally shot it is best to take legal action as soon as possible. The sooner an investigation can be started the better it is to preserve evidence including witness statements, physical evidence and information from the accident scene. There are time limits (referred to as “statute of limitations”) for bringing wrongful death lawsuits in Minnesota. It is important not to wait too long to speak to an attorney regarding your legal rights and to begin investigating your case.
