Minnesota no-fault law provides for benefits for families in the event of death occuring within one year of the date of a Minnesota car accident. The benefits include economic loss benefits (Minn. Stat. Sec. 65B.44, subdivision 6) and replacement services loss (Minn. Stat. Sec. 65B.44, subdivision 7).

Survivors Economic Loss Benefits

Minnesota no-fault survivors economic loss benefits are subject to a maximum of $200 per week and "shall cover loss accruing
after decedent's death of contributions of money or tangible things of economic value, not including services, that surviving dependents would have received from the decedent for their support during their dependency had the decedent not suffered the injury causing death." A "surviving dependent" may be a spouse or child, depending on the facts of the case. Contact an auto accident attorney at Pritzker | Ruohonen for a free consultation.

Survivors Replacement Services Loss

Minnesota no-fault survivors replacement services loss benefits are also subject to a maximum of $200 per week and include "expenses reasonably incurred by surviving dependents after the date of the decedent's death in obtaining ordinary and necessary services in lieu of those the deceased would have performed for their benefit had the decedent not suffered the injury causing death, minus expenses of the survivors avoided by reason of the decedent's death."
