12.19 	an action therefor if the decedent might have maintained an action, had the decedent lived, 
12.20 	for an injury caused by the wrongful act or omission. An action to recover damages for a 
12.21 	death caused by the alleged professional negligence of a physician, surgeon, dentist, hospital 
12.22 	or sanitarium, or an employee of a physician, surgeon, dentist, hospital or sanitarium shall

12.29 	within three years after the date of death provided that the action must be commenced within 
12.30 	six years after the act or omission. The recovery in the action is the amount the jury deems 
12.31 	fair and just in reference to the pecuniary loss resulting from the death, and shall be for the 
12.32 	exclusive benefit of the surviving spouse and next of kin, proportionate to the pecuniary 
12.33 	loss severally suffered by the death. The court then determines the proportionate pecuniary 
12.34 	loss of the persons entitled to the recovery and orders distribution accordingly. Funeral 
13.1 	expenses and any demand for the support of the decedent allowed by the court having 
13.2 	jurisdiction of the action, are first deducted and paid. Punitive damages may be awarded as 
13.3 	provided in section 549.20.
13.4 	If an action for the injury was commenced by the decedent and not finally determined 
13.5 	while living, it may be continued by the trustee for recovery of damages for the exclusive 
13.6 	benefit of the surviving spouse and next of kin, proportionate to the pecuniary loss severally 
13.7 	suffered by the death. The court on motion shall make an order allowing the continuance 
13.8 	and directing pleadings to be made and issues framed as in actions begun under this section.
