Our Michigan fatal car accident lawyers help families who have lost a loved one in a fatal auto accident. Fatal injuries occur in car accidents, motorcycle accidents, bicycle accidents, and pedestrian accidents. The surviving family members may be entitled to significant No Fault Insurance Benefits due the death. If a negligent driver caused the fatal car accident, it can give rise to a Michigan Wrongful Death Lawsuit.
Under the Michigan No Fault Insurance laws, the family members of the victim of the fatal car accident can receive specific benefits, regardless of who was at fault for the accident. For example, if an insured driver dies as the result of the auto accident but was determined to be at fault for the accident, the family members can often still receive these insurance benefits. The benefits include:
There are strict procedures for filing these claims and strict time deadlines that apply when seeking benefits after a fatal car accident.
After a fatal car accident, the family of the victim can file a lawsuit under the Michigan Wrongful Death Statute. Typically, a fatal car accident lawsuit is brought by the family member of the person killed in the accident. However, a guardian or another family representative can also bring the claim.
In this type of lawsuit, the family of the decedent can sue the negligent driver and owner of the car for significant money damages. These include claims for loss of society and companionship, loss of income, loss of services, and other monetary claims.
It is important to hire an experienced fatal accident attorney immediately after the accident. The negligent driver will often deny fault and blame the victim for the accident. As such, it is essential to start the investigation as soon as possible so that independent witnesses and evidence can be gathered to prove and win the case.
