AUTO ACCIDENT ANOKA LAWYERS – KILLED IN CAR CRASH ATTORNEY
Highway 10, starting in Anoka and going west, is a very dangerous stretch of road. There are many car accident cases on Highway 10 every year. Our fatal car crash lawyers handle cases in Anoka Minnesota and Anoka County. This includes a recent death case where a teenage girl was killed while walking across Highway 10.
Tragedy strikes when someone in your family is a fatality in an auto accident in Anoka, or a semi truck hits their car and kills them. You and your family are faced with a range of emotions – heartrending grief, shock, disbelief, numbness, or anger. To make matters worse, you may also be facing serious financial fears that often come with the death of a family member. Particularly if it is a parent who is fatally injured: “How are we going to pay for the funeral?” “How will we survive without his income?” “How can I raise my kids without her?”
When a family member – whether a spouse, a child, or a parent – is in a fatal car accident in MN or is killed because of a semitruck accident, there are potential resources to help. The family needs compensation for the wrongful death of that person. This is a primary focus of our car accident attorneys in our Anoka cases and throughout Minnesota.
COMPENSATION FOR FATAL CAR ACCIDENT – ATTORNEY FOR ANOKA MN
When a family member is in a fatal car accident in Anoka because the other driver was negligent, the survivors have a wrongful death claim. Minnesota law allows compensation for the loss of companionship, comfort and guidance of the family member who was killed. Of course, the loss of income caused by the death of a husband or wife must be compensated. Also, the loss of ´services, protection, care and assistance’ which the family member had provided the others in the family. In many cases, there are expenses for medical care that was needed just before the family member was in the fatal accident; and reasonable funeral expenses.
Our experienced MN car accident lawyers make sure your rights are protected after an Anoka car accident. Insurance compensation is available if your wife or husband is fatally injured in a car accident in MN. Compensation is also available if your parent or child is killed in a car accident.
WRONGFUL DEATH OF FAMILY MEMBER
There can be wrongful death compensation for the children’s loss if a mother or father is killed in a car accident. This is available even if the children are grown and out of the house. Likewise, compensation is available if your adult sister or brother is killed in a car accident and you had a close relationship. Our best auto accident lawyers will explain these fatal car accident claims to you during your initial call to our office or when we meet you at your home in Anoka.
Our car accident fatality lawyers have handled many cases where someone has died in a motorcycle accident, car accident or because of a semi truck in Anoka and throughout MN. We understand that the loss of a family member is a tragedy that no amount of money will ever replace. However, we take these cases to heart and work hard to obtain fair compensation for the family members who are suffering and will be left with this permanent loss.
MINNESOTA NO FAULT LAW AFTER FATAL CAR ACCIDENT
When someone is killed in a car accident in Anoka, or anywhere else in MN, the surviving family’s rights include No Fault auto insurance coverage. No-Fault insurance covers economic loss benefits compensation and replacement services for loss occurring within one year of the date of the car crash. This is usually paid by the decedent’s own automobile insurance company. This is separate from the wrongful death claim against the other driver. No-Fault economic loss benefits are limited to $500.00 per week. They cover losses incurred after the death of a family member to partially replace what they would have contributed in wages, salary or other tangible things of economic value.
Our top MN car accident lawyers have helped many people through the No-Fault system after a family member was in a fatal car or truck accident. Our attorneys are always willing to explain your rights to you as you go through this terrible time.
Services rendered for the household or childcare are also compensation paid to survivors under Minnesota’s No-Fault laws when a family member is killed in a car accident. This is intended to reimburse the family for having to obtain help for those services the deceased family member would have performed. Again, this is compensation separate from a wrongful death claim. Currently, that payment is limited to $200 per week. A car accident attorney from our office can help you with this and explain your rights.
After a car accident fatality, MN’s No-Fault laws also provide for $5,000.00 in funeral expenses for the surviving family. This coverage applies even if the person killed in the car accident is your son or daughter.
