Wrongful Death

Michigan Wrongful Death Lawyer: Seeking Justice and Compensation in Times of Loss

Coping with the loss of a loved one is an emotionally challenging experience, and when that loss is due to another party's negligence or wrongdoing, the pain can be intensified. In such circumstances, you have the right to pursue justice and financial compensation through a wrongful death lawsuit, allowing you and your family the closure and support you deserve during this difficult time.

Understanding Wrongful Deaths

A wrongful death occurs when an individual is killed as a result of the negligence or misconduct of another party. Those who were financially dependent on or benefited from the deceased may be entitled to seek monetary damages.

Wrongful deaths can arise from various situations, and while legal measures exist to ensure accountability and responsibility, wrongful deaths can occur in cases such as:

Guidance from a Wrongful Death Attorney

Navigating the aftermath of a loved one's passing due to another's negligence can be an overwhelming experience filled with sorrow, responsibilities, and uncertainties. In Michigan, surviving family members facing such a loss have legal avenues to pursue compensation for their loss caused by wrongful actions. These legal remedies, encompassing wrongful death claims and survival claims, offer a way to seek financial relief and ease the financial challenges that arise from the tragedy.

Navigating the complexities of these claims during a challenging time requires the expertise of an attorney experienced in wrongful death cases. An attorney at Marko Law can help:

  • Investigate negligence of all involved parties
  • Gather necessary medical documentation to assess damages
  • Evaluate the impact on you and your family
  • Assist with estate setup if required
  • Negotiate with insurance companies
  • Prepare and file a lawsuit if necessary

Common Causes of Wrongful Death Claims:

Wrongful deaths can occur in various scenarios, including:

  • Vehicle Accidents
  • Medical Malpractice
  • Workplace Accidents
  • Defective Products
  • Criminal Activity

If a criminal act leads to wrongful death, survivors can seek justice through both criminal proceedings and civil court. It's noteworthy that a successful civil wrongful death claim can be pursued regardless of a criminal conviction.

Understanding the Difference: Wrongful Death Lawsuit vs. Homicide Case

A key distinction between wrongful death lawsuits and homicide cases lies in the nature of liability and consequences. In a wrongful death lawsuit, the focus is on financial compensation (damages) to be paid to the survivors. In contrast, a homicide case can result in penalties such as imprisonment or probation for the defendant.

Differentiating Between Medical Malpractice and Wrongful Death Lawsuits

Medical malpractice involves harm caused by negligent healthcare providers, while wrongful death encompasses deaths due to wrongful acts, negligence, or default. In cases of medical malpractice, an individual may be injured, while wrongful death relates to fatal outcomes.

Recoverable Damages in Wrongful Death Claims

Wrongful death claims seek financial compensation to alleviate financial and emotional losses. Recoverable damages can include:

  • Medical Expenses
  • Funeral and Burial Expenses
  • Lost Wages and Benefits
  • Property Damages
  • Loss of Emotional Support
  • Loss of Financial Support
  • Emotional Pain and Suffering
  • Punitive Damages, in some cases
