Wrongful Death

Minnesota Wrongful Death Lawyer & Attorney

A wrongful death claim exists when someone dies as a result of another person’s negligence. While most of our wrongful death cases arise out of automobile or motorcycle collisions, wrongful death claims also occur from construction accidents, boating accidents, medical mistakes and product defects.

Minnesota law allows the family members of the deceased to obtain compensation for the loss of their loved one.  This includes the value of the deceased person’s earnings and the value of the services they would have provided for the home and family.  The hardest cases involve the loss of a child, but the loss of an elderly family member can be just as devastating.  Although those cases usually do not involve a loss of earning, the family may also recover for the aid, advice and comfort lost by the death of their family member.

At the Rochlin Law Firm, Ltd. we have helped many grieving families when a loved one’s death has been caused by someone else’s negligence.  Often there are immediate financial concerns that we can assist the family with.  Please call us to obtain information about your family’s legal rights and to answer your questions regarding a potential wrongful death claim.
