Fatal Car Accidents in Michigan

Fillmore Twp., MI – One Killed in 58th St Crash near 136th AveMost people understand that driving is hazardous, but when drivers take unnecessary risks, the chances of a serious or even fatal car accident are only exacerbated and magnified. If you've lost a loved one because of a negligent or dangerous motorist, you're likely understandably upset and devastated.

The loss of a loved one cannot be compensated for, but the financial stability that comes from receiving a settlement may help you move forward. Certain surviving relatives in Michigan may file a wrongful death lawsuit and seek damages. A member of the family must be designated as the claim's representative. Our state's laws allow the following members of the deceased's family to sue for wrongful death:

  • Family of the decedent, such as a spouse and children
  • Grandparents and parents of the deceased
  • The deceased's siblings
  • Those who are named in the deceased's will (such as aunts, uncles, or cousins) or who are legally entitled to inherit from the estate may submit a wrongful death claim even if none of the above relatives are still alive at the time of the death.

The negligent driver who caused your family member's death or serious injuries in a car incident in Detroit should pay for their actions. Moreover, the vast majority of wrongful death lawsuits are filed by bereaved families with nothing to "gain" by doing so. They only seek recompense for the monetary hardship the terrible loss of their loved one has caused.

You have the right to hold the motorist responsible for your family member's death if that driver's negligence was a contributing factor. Depending on the specifics of your case, a wrongful death claim may entitle you to compensation for the following:

  • Experiencing the loss of your family member's love, support, and direction (also known as loss of consortium)
  • The financial and emotional impact of losing your loved one, including but not limited to pain and suffering
  • The costs of your loved one's funeral and burial
  • Medical care and healthcare expenses

After suffering injuries or losing a loved one in an accident, it's normal to feel fearful and unsure of what to do next. If you're struggling financially, you won't want to add any more stress by doing it alone, but Christopher Trainor & Associates is here to assist.
