Flint Wrongful Death And Common Accidents

If a person is injured in an accident and survives, he or she can begin a lawsuit. However, if the person didn’t survive, the spouse, parent or other close family members may file a wrongful death lawsuit when an accident or event resulted in the death of a loved one. Wrongful death lawsuits in Michigan can arise from a variety of situations, including:

Traffic accidents
Truck accidents
Pedestrian accidents
Bicycle accidents
Aircraft accidents
Work-related deaths
Deaths from defective products
Death due to dangerous conditions on a local
Exposure to hazardous chemicals
Medical malpractice
Violent crime
Vehicle Accidents
Accidents resulting from drunk driving
Victims of crime
Train collision and train accidents
Negligent security

​When a person’s death is attributable to the wrongdoing of others, it is natural for the family to experience significant grief and even anger. During the emotional times, it can be difficult to consider legal options and strategies for holding negligent parties accountable for your loss. Choose our experienced attorneys to fully handle the details for you.

Who Can File A Wrongful Death Claim?

Each state has laws about who may file a wrongful death claim. Under Michigan law, only the decedent's personal representative may file a wrongful death claim. However, the personal representative of the deceased's estate seeks compensation for the benefit of the surviving family members and the decedent's estate.

Who Can Recover for Wrongful Death?

In most cases, the deceased’s surviving family and estate can recover compensation for wrongful death in Michigani. The law typically assumes that a “family” consists of a husband and wife, plus any children they care for. 

However, Michigan statute is a bit more expansive and allows additional parties to sue for the wrongful death of a loved one. The statute specifically gives the right to sue for wrongful death to the “spouse, children, parents, and” any other dependents the deceased cared for. This means that siblings, grandparents, cousins, and other relatives the deceased may have provided for can also recover compensation for wrongful death. The term “spouse” is also gender-neutral, allowing LGBT spouses to sue for their spouse’s death.

Survivors in a wrongful death suit can receive compensation for a variety of financial and emotional losses. Some of these include:

Medical expenses
Loss of decedent’s earnings
Loss of love, care, and companionship
Present and future financial losses
Burial and funeral expenses
Children’s loss of guidance and supervision
Pain and suffereing 

​Monetary compensation for damages may be recovered in a wrongful death action depending on the particular facts of the case. Damages can include sorrow, loss of companionship, loss of income, and grief. In wrongful death cases, it is common to calculate earnings the victim would have received from the time of death through the remaining years that person was expected to live in order to determine future lost earnings. As your wrongful death lawyer, we can also determine whether damages to punish the wrongdoer are available.

To begin the process, the wrongful death attorneys at Advanta Law, PLLC will open an estate with the probate court for your loved one that has passed away. A “personal representative” will be appointed by the court to lead the estate. The personal representative is the person that will be bringing on the civil case against the negligent party. A personal representative can be a spouse, child, sibling, or parent, depending on the situation and the manner in which the wrongful death occurred.

What Is A Wrongful Death Claim??

Understanding Wrongful Death in Michigan

Losing a beloved friend or family member is a devastating and emotionally charged experience. When death is a result of someone else’s wrongdoing or negligence, the emotional burden is even greater and can change your life forever. 

Because wrongful death cases are handled in civil court, a lawsuit may be filed even if the liable parties are not facing criminal charges. Civil cases are completely separate from criminal cases, and there is a lower burden of proof in civil cases. A wrongful death lawsuit can also be filed if the defendant has been acquitted in criminal court of the wrongful act that led to the death.

Review Your Case
If you and your family decide to move forward with a wrongful death claim, it can help tremendously to understand how wrongful death is proven. Understanding these basic elements of negligence can greatly help you cooperate with the lawyer as they ask you questions about your case.

In a wrongful death lawsuit, your attorney will need to provide the court with evidence regarding the following points:

that the other party had a duty of care toward your loved one: For instance, a surgeon has a duty to adhere to medical standards when performing a surgery. Or the driver of a motor vehicle has a duty to adhere to the rules of the road when driving a commercial vehicle or car.

The other party breach their duty of care: If the surgeon fails to follow proper surgery protocol, it could be considered a breach of their duty of care.

The other party’s actions caused your loved one’s death: If by failing to follow their duty of care, the surgeon’s actions directly caused the death, you may have a case for wrongful death based on negligence and medical malpractice.
