Minnetonka Wrongful Death Attorney

Trusted Legal Advocates for Families in Minnetonka, MN

Losing a loved one is one of life’s most devastating experiences — especially when that loss was caused by someone else’s negligence, misconduct, or wrongful actions. While no amount of money can replace a spouse, parent, or child, a wrongful death claim can help ease the financial burdens caused by their passing and hold the responsible party accountable.

At Butwinick Injury Law, our wrongful death attorneys have decades of experience helping grieving families in Minnetonka and throughout Minnesota pursue justice. We understand that this is more than just a legal matter — it’s about protecting your family’s future, preserving your loved one’s legacy, and ensuring that those at fault are held responsible.

We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you owe us nothing unless we recover compensation for you.

What is a Wrongful Death Claim?

Under Minnesota law, a wrongful death occurs when a person dies due to another party’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions. This could be the result of a car accident, workplace incident, defective product, or other preventable event.

A wrongful death lawsuit allows surviving family members to seek financial compensation for both economic and emotional losses. These claims can be complex and time-sensitive, which is why having an experienced Minnetonka wrongful death lawyer is essential.
