A wrongful death claim in Michigan allows the personal representative of a deceased motorcycle accident victim’s estate to seek financial compensation from the party whose negligence caused the fatal crash. This type of legal action aims to recover damages for losses suffered by the victim’s surviving family members, such as lost financial support, loss of companionship, and funeral/burial expenses.
