Proving A Wrongful Death Claim In North Dakota
Wrongful death claims may arise from any circumstance where one party’s negligence led to another person’s death. In order for the claim to be legally valid, there are certain elements that must be proven.
This is where a qualified Fargo personal injury attorney can help.
Successfully proving a wrongful death claim involves:
- Proving that the other party had a duty to provide a certain level of care to the individual who lost their life in the accident.
- Proving that the other party failed to provide this duty to the individual.
- Proving that the failure of the offending party to fulfill their duty resulted in or caused, the loss of life.
- After the fault has been proven, I will document the consequences or damages that you have faced after losing your loved one.

Typical damages in wrongful death cases include:
