Wrongful Death

Attorney Howard Sussman is committed to helping those who have lost a loved one because of another person or company's reckless or negligent behavior. With over 20 years of service in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, our wrongful death attorneys have successfully represented many clients and are focused on helping the survivors of those who died achieve justice and financial compensation. If your loved one has died through another's negligence, you may be entitled to receive monetary compensation in the form of "damages" to cover medical expenses, and lost income (current and future). As a Howard Sussman and Associates client, you will receive professional and aggressive representation that enables you to focus on the recovery process while we focus on justice and protection of your rights.

Wrongful death claims include:

• Vehicular accidents - Automobile, ATV, motorcycle, tractor trailer, snowmobile
• Public carriers - railroads, planes, buses and maritime disasters
• Defective products
• Medical Malpractice
• Pharmaceutical Liability
• Construction fatalities

Negligence is the common element in most wrongful death actions and an individual is generally negligent if their act or failure to act is unreasonable and results in another's injury or death. Negligence can be the result of lack of attention, thoughtlessness, inadvertence, and mistakes. In the State of Minnesota, there are specific statutes which establish the procedures for bringing wrongful death actions. In addition, wrongful deaths cases are complicated to prove, and only an experienced wrongful death attorney can effectively demonstrate negligence to recover fair compensation for the victim's family. Throughout the legal process, Minnesota wrongful death lawyer  Howard Sussman will work with you to help you understand the strategies and possible outcomes so that you can make informed decisions. We will be your representative to insurances companies and others involved in your claim to ensure that you receive a fair and just compensation.
