La Crescent, Minnesota Wrongful Death FAQs
Who brings a wrongful death claim in Minnesota?
A Minnesota court generally appoints a trustee to bring the claim for the benefit of the surviving spouse and next of kin. Family relationships and the appointment process should be reviewed early.

A Minnesota death may involve an out-of-state driver, business, or insurance policy. The incident location, parties, policy language, and governing law should be evaluated together.
What losses may be available to a Minnesota family?

Can a survival claim also be involved?
Certain claims belonging to the person who died may survive, depending on Minnesota law and the facts. The relationship between any survival issues and the wrongful death action should be reviewed.
