LAWYERS FOR FAMILY OF PERSON KILLED IN ACCIDENT
When someone is fatally injured in a Minnesota accident, the person killed cannot sue, and no one can sue on their behalf. In other words, if a person dies in an accident, any claim they may have had for compensation dies with them. This is true even if the person is not initially killed in the accident but dies later from fatal injuries sustained. However, that doesn’t mean there is no case. The surviving family can claim compensation for their own loss from wrongful death of their loved one. A top lawyer will get justice for the family.
Our lawyers have represented hundreds of people with accident claims, including surviving families in wrongful death cases. The most frequent cause of death our top attorneys see for the family of someone killed in an accident comes from car collisions. However, accidental death can also come from slip and fall accidents or defective products. Also, gun accidents, boating accidents, snowmobile accidents and others.
LEGAL PROCESS FOR WRONGFUL DEATH CASE
The first legal step for the family after someone is killed in a MN accident is to appoint a trustee. The trustee represents the family in making the claim and a possible lawsuit. The trustee is usually the spouse, or the parent if the person killed was a child. A trustee must be approved by a judge. If your husband or wife has been killed in an accident, you are fighting grief while trying to hold your family and like together. Our best MN wrongful death attorneys understand this process. We will handle the legal aspects of the case while you focus on your family and your life.
When you hire a lawyer to sue after a family member has been killed in an accident, it is important to make sure you find someone with experience and compassion.
