Minnesota nursing home claims are controlled by Minnesota Statute § 573.02 and Minnesota Jury Instruction § 91.75, which determines permissible Minnesota wrongful death damages from nursing home abuse. Although, there is no cap on damages and punitive damages are available in the most extreme cases, Minnesota does not allow compensation for some of the things that matter most in a wrongful death action; grief and emotional distress of the next-of-kin, pain and suffering in the death of the victim, an amount to punish the defendant unless specifically included by motion to the court.
