Wrongful Death

A wrongful death claim in Michigan arises when a person’s death is caused by the negligent or intentional actions of another party. Surviving family members, such as a spouse or children, can pursue compensation for losses like funeral expenses, lost income and benefits, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering. The Michigan Wrongful Death Act governs these cases and sets forth specific requirements, including time limits for filing a claim. In personal injury cases involving catastrophic injuries like brain trauma or premises liability incidents like a deadly slip and fall accident, wrongful death may become an issue if the victim ultimately succumbs to their injuries.
