After the loss of a loved one, determining the type of claim you should file for your losses can feel overwhelming, and many find themselves unsure of what damages are available for wrongful death claims. In Minnesota, the law has recently changed, and now allows compensation for the pain and suffering of the person who passed away. Prior to 2022, these claims were not permitted in Minnesota.
Wrongful death claims compensate the decedent’s family for their loss, and now include damages for the pain and suffering the deceased endured before death. The deceased’s Trustee may opt to file both claims to pursue compensation for the full extent of their family’s and their loved one’s losses. These claims can be challenging to navigate and sort out, making it vital to have an experienced attorney on your side, and in your corner.
