Minneapolis Wrongful Death Attorneys
When an accident claims the life of a loved one, nothing can make up for what the family lost. However, our experienced lawyers help the family members get the answers they need. At the law firm of Scrimshire, Martineau, Gonko & Vavreck in Minneapolis, we offer a free consultation to explain your options.
A death is wrongful if it was caused by someone else's negligence or carelessness. Some of the most common types of wrongful death cases are fatal car accidents, accidents at work and accidental death caused by dangerous products. In these cases, the family members have the right to seek damages for medical expenses incurred prior to death, funeral expenses, future lost wages and loss of consortium. A child has the right to be compensated for loss of parental guidance. Even if the person responsible for your loved one's death was a family member, which is often the case involving passenger deaths in motor vehicle accident cases, you may still be entitled to a recovery.
After a fatal accident, the family members usually have more questions than answers. Potentially responsible parties typically give out as little information as possible to protect themselves from liability. In these cases, we serve as a strong advocate for the family.
We aggressively pursue wrongful death cases. Our law office is conveniently located in downtown Minneapolis, in the historic warehouse district, one block off Washington Avenue and our lawyers represent clients throughout the Twin Cities metro, Greater Minnesota and Western Wisconsin.
