What is considered a wrongful death?
Wrongful death is defined as a death caused by a wrongful act that, had the victim lived, he or she would have had a personal injury claim against the responsible party.
The purpose of a wrongful death action is not to simply seek compensation for the loss of your loved one’s life. No amount of monetary damages can make up for the loss you have suffered.
A wrongful death action can, however, hold the responsible party accountable, deter similar harmful conduct in the future, and obtain necessary funds to pay medical bills, funeral expenses, and help make up for lost wages and benefits provided by your deceased loved one.
Seeking justice for your loved one can help ease your grief during such a difficult time. As an experienced wrongful death attorney in Michigan, I can examine the facts of your case and walk you through the process of deciding whether filing a wrongful death claim is the right course of action for your family.
