Wrongful Death Lawyer in Winnipeg — what to expect
A wrongful death claim in Manitoba lets dependants and family members recover for the financial and emotional loss caused by a preventable death — whether from a collision near The Forks, a workplace incident, or medical negligence at Health Sciences Centre Winnipeg.
These claims are filed by the family, not the estate, and cover loss of financial support, loss of guidance and companionship, and funeral expenses, under Manitoba's Fatal Accidents-style legislation. Our Winnipeg team handles the entire claim directly with the responsible party's insurer so your family isn't negotiating your loss with a claims adjuster, and takes the matter to Winnipeg Law Courts if a fair resolution isn't offered.
What this can cover
- Loss of financial support and dependency
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Loss of guidance, care and companionship
- Grief-related damages where permitted by provincial law
