What is Considered a "Wrongful Death?"

Every year, more than 90,000 people die in the United States as a result of unintentional injuries. In fact, accidental injuries are the fifth leading cause of death in the United States. Wrongful death is the legal term used when someone causes the death of another person. Thus, a death caused by the negligent, careless, or intentional act of another person or corporation is considered a wrongful death.

The Purpose of a Wrongful Death Claim

The goal of this type of a wrongful death claim is to seek compensation for those family members who have lost a loved one in order to help defray medical costs and provide financial support.

Depending on the unique circumstances of your case, you may be able to recover compensation for the following damages in a wrongful death claim:

• Medical expenses incurred prior to death
• Loss of past and expected income/wages
• Funeral expenses
• Physical pain and suffering
• Mental anguish
• Loss of society and companionship

Since the laws regarding these types of cases can be very complex, it is extremely important to seek the advice of an experienced wrongful death lawyer who can protect your rights and those of your loved ones.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

Under Michigan law, a wrongful death lawsuit may only be filed by the personal representative of the deceased's estate. This is usually a family member, but may also be someone appointed by the probate judge.

While the personal representative must be the one to file the lawsuit, any damages from the wrongful death claim will be awarded to the surviving family members in the following order:

• The deceased's spouse and/or children
• The deceased's parents
• Any surviving children from the spouse of the deceased
• Anyone else to whom the deceased left property
