Wrongful Death Attorneys

A wrongful death claim is a special type of claim that involves specific duties and deadlines. That is why it is important to contact a Michigan wrongful death attorney if a loved one has been killed by the negligence of another person.

The Michigan Wrongful Death Act allows the personal representative of the estate of a deceased person to bring an action in court if the death of the person was caused by the wrongful act or negligence of another. The personal representative is often a family member or close friend of the deceased person and this representative must be approved by the probate court before a wrongful death action can be filed in court.

The individuals entitled to recover compensation in a Michigan wrongful death case include the deceased’s spouse, children, parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters as well as other possible individuals.

The compensation or damages the estate is entitled to recover includes economic and non-economic damages, such as wage loss, payment of medical bills, loss of society and companionship, loss of consortium, loss of financial support and pain and suffering suffered by the decedent while conscious between the time of injury and death.

Michigan wrongful deaths are a special type of case that demands the attention of specialized legal professionals, such as Michigan wrongful death lawyers, who understand the various ways insurance companies seek to deny benefits to Michigan wrongful death victims and their families.

If a loved one has been killed as a result of the negligence of someone else, it is essential you contact a Michigan wrongful death lawyer to make sure you receive the benefits and compensation you are entitled to.
