Wrongful Death
St. Paul Wrongful Death Lawyer
Under Minnesota Statute 573.02, when a death is caused by the wrongful act or omission of any person or corporation, a trustee, typically a family member, can be appointed to bring a claim against the wrongdoing party on behalf of any surviving spouse and the heirs and next of kin of the decedent. Oftentimes, pursuable wrongful deaths claim arise from automobile, motorcycle, snowmobile, jet ski and boating crashes, the illegal sale of alcohol, and work-related accidents. Damages that can be claimed may include funeral expenses, lost financial support, and other pecuniary losses. Quickly investigating the circumstances of the death and identifying available insurance coverages, with the assistance of any attorney, is an important first step to be taken by family members.
