About Wrongful Death

There are four elements to most wrongful death cases:

• some person or company was responsible for causing the victim’s wrongful death
• said person or company was negligent or strictly liable for the victim’s wrongful death
• there is a surviving spouse, children, family, next of kin
• financial or emotional losses have been suffered as a result of the victim’s wrongful death

Wrongful Death Claims

Wrongful death cases, in Minneapolis, are governed by Minnesota Statutes, chapter 573. Minnesota law requires that a judge appoint a trustee for the heirs prior to a wrongful death lawsuit being started. The trustee is allowed to file for financial and emotional losses resulting from the death. These losses include:

• Medical Expenses
• Funeral Expenses
• Burial Expenses
• Potential Financial Earnings
• Loss of Service (companionship, society, parental advise, comfort, protection)

It is vital that you act quickly. There is a statute of limitations on Minnesota wrongful death claims. A lawsuit must be commenced within three years from the date of death. The suit must also be filed within six years from the date of the accident.
