Minnesota, Colorado Wrongful Death Lawsuit Attorney

A wrongful death can occur for many reasons and under a wide variety of circumstances. These include:

• Automobile, motorcycle, delivery truck, semi-truck, and other accidents involving motor vehicles and negligence
• Defective or unsafe products such as pharmaceutical drugs, defective motorcycle helmets, or faulty workplace equipment
• Industrial accidents involving electrocution, explosions, chemical contact/exposure, construction sites, and others
• Unsafe premises incidents including deaths resulting from dog attacks or from a lack of adequate security

In general terms, most of the compensation awarded in these cases is based on the current and future economic losses that the families could have reasonably been expected to receive. These damages are 'uncapped' and cover future earnings/potential, medical expenses, and other factors.

There are 'caps' on the amount of non-economic damages you can seek. But in some cases, punitive damages may be awarded. Conditions about which family members can file these claims and when they can file them are also in place.

But please note: there are limits on how much time you have to file these claims. For this reason, it is important that you not delay long before speaking to an attorney about your loved one's fatality. We realize this task may not be easy, but it is very helpful to begin an investigation as early in the process as possible.
