Wrongful Death is a broad area of Law that allows recovery to surviving family members. Wrongful death is defined as a death that results from a wrongful act or from negligence; a death that can serve as a basis for a civil action for damages on behalf of the dead person’s family of heirs.
When a loved one dies unexpectedly in an auto accident, work accident, construction accident, medical accident or other accident it can be devastating to families. It is even more difficult when the loss is due to the senseless negligent act of another. In Michigan, and most states you may be able to recover damages in a wrongful death lawsuit. These cases are usually brought on behalf of the deceased by his surviving spouse, child or parent. Damages include the amount of money the family lost in terms of financial support, services, lost prospect of inheritance and medical and funeral costs.
