Lawsuits Involving Fatal Car Accidents
Dealing with the death of a loved one is never easy. When the death was caused by someone else's negligence, it is even more difficult to accept. During this challenging time, an experienced personal injury attorney can help you hold the liable parties accountable for their actions while you concentrate on your grief.
At Walsh & Gaertner, P.A., we provide compassionate guidance to families who have lost loved ones due to another's carelessness. We recognize that monetary compensation cannot make up for the loss of your family member. However, it can ease the financial strain that comes with planning a funeral and adjusting to your changed circumstances. Call us at 651-323-2457 or 888-863-4160 to schedule a free consultation.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim?
In Minnesota, the deceased individual's spouse, children, siblings, parents and grandparents are eligible to bring a wrongful death claim. Families can recover for loss of the decedent's earnings, loss of services, and loss of aid, comfort and society. As your legal advocates, we will pursue the compensation you need while you focus on more personal matters.
Early Investigation Is Key
While you and your family grieve, the at-fault individual's insurance company will actively investigate the accident, taking witness statements, gathering physical evidence and doing anything else to defend against a wrongful death lawsuit. The sooner you contact our lawyers, the sooner we can launch an independent investigation and put you on a level playing field with the insurance company.
One of our lawyers, Mark Gaertner, used to defend insurance companies in a range of personal injury disputes. We use his well-rounded knowledge of insurance claim-handling to build strong cases for clients in St. Paul, Minneapolis and the surrounding areas. Whether your loved one suffered fatal injuries in a car accident, semi-truck collision or other incident, our team is dedicated to helping you and your family recover compensation for your loss.
