Losing a loved one in a Michigan car accident is devastating. While your family is grieving, medical bills from ambulance transportation, emergency care, surgery, hospitalization, and life-saving treatment may continue to arrive.

If another driver caused the crash, a Michigan wrongful death lawyer can investigate the accident, identify available insurance coverage, and help determine who is responsible for the medical bills.

Under Michigan’s Wrongful Death Act, MCL 600.2922, the personal representative of the deceased person’s estate may pursue a wrongful death claim. Depending on the circumstances, compensation may include medical and hospital expenses, funeral and burial costs, lost financial support, conscious pain and suffering, and loss of society and companionship.

Hiring an attorney early can also help preserve critical evidence, including vehicle data, video, photographs, witness statements, and insurance information.

Our firm is experienced in both auto insurance law and probate law for a seamless experience so that you can focus on your family.
