Minneapolis Fatal Car Accident Lawyer
In 2008 there were a total of 455 fatalities due to traffic accidents in Minnesota. Of these 455 deaths, 314 died in vehicles, 25 were pedestrians, 72 were motorcyclists, 10 were on an ATV, 1 was on a snowmobile, 4 died in school bus accident, 10 were commercial truck occupants, and 13 were riding bicycles on the roads. These fatal car accidents may have resulted in 455 fatalities but much more people were negatively affected by these devastating incidents, including mothers, fathers, children, grandparents, husbands and wives. It is up to the surviving family members to pick up the pieces and move on from this tragedy. At McEwen Law Firm, we know this is a lot easier said than done.

Contributing Factors to Fatal Car Accidents
Some of the most common contributing factors in single vehicle crashes and multiple vehicle crashes on the road include the following:
- Speed
- Driver inattention
- Chemical impairment (drinking and driving and driving under the influence)
- Overcorrecting in single vehicle accidents
- Failure to yield in multiple vehicle accidents
- Following too closely (tailgating)
- Vehicle malfunction or mechanical complications
- Driver inexperience for those under the age of 19
Fatal Car Accident Trauma
Regardless of the circumstances surrounding the death on the road, the results can be traumatic for everyone involved, especially for the family of the victim. You will most likely suffer from emotional pain as well as financial loss while you find the strength to move forward. We can help ensure you are compensated for the following:
- Any funeral and burial costs
- Loss of protected income
- Loss of protected inheritance for any children
- Emotional suffering
- Financial costs for medication, therapy and other recovering methods
Fatal Car Accident Conviction
In most instances, if the person who has caused the accident was driving negligently or under the influence of drugs or alcohol, he will be facing a manslaughter conviction. He may be put in jail, have his license revoked and face hefty fines. However, all of this does little for the victims’ family. Seeing the driver in prison may provide some justice but it does not pay the medical bills or bring back a child’s father.

We can provide you with a safe and compassionate environment to help you move forward in your life without being burdened financially due to this tragedy.
