COMPENSATION FOR FATAL ACCIDENT – MINNESOTA LAWYER
If the family member was fatally injured because of another person’s negligence, the survivors may be entitled to money compensation through a wrongful death claim. This includes fatal car accidents, motorcycle accidents, and other situations. MN law allows compensation for the loss of companionship, comfort and guidance of the family member who was killed. That is in addition to the loss of income caused by the death of a husband or wife. There is also the loss of “services, protection, care and assistance” which the family member had provided to the family. Of course, expenses for medical care that was given for the accident prior to the death, and reasonable funeral expenses, must also be included.
When there is a MN fatal accident, our top lawyers work hard to make the insurance company fully understands the seriousness of those losses. Many of these types of compensation are available if your wife or husband is fatally injured in a car accident in MN, or some other way. The same compensation is available if your parent or child is killed in a car accident or some other way. There can even be wrongful death compensation for the loss to adult children if their mother or father is killed. Likewise, for the death of a sister or brother.
Our best MN attorneys will explain these fatal accident claims to you during your initial call to our office.
