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.
