Anoka/Elk River Wrongful Death Lawyer

Wrongful Death – What is it?

Wrongful death is the term for the area of law in which a person’s death was the direct result of the negligence or wrongful act of another. Wrongful death cases are profoundly sad cases typically arising out of catastrophic automobile, semi-truck, or other traffic accidents.

Wrongful Death Cases

These types of cases can also occur in relation to employment accidents, exposure to environmental hazards, and medical malpractice. The individuals, or “plaintiffs”, that have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim are usually the surviving family members of the deceased. Normally this is the surviving spouse, children, parents, or siblings depending upon the situation.

The claim to be pursued on behalf of the surviving family members is for pecuniary, “money”, damages as a result of the wrongful death.

Typically this is for loss of support experienced by the surviving family member/s.
