Our Michigan Wrongful Death lawsuit lawyers represent family members of individuals who die due to the negligence or intentional conduct of a person, business, hospital, or some other entity. These claims are dictated by the Michigan Wrongful Death Act.

The Michigan Wrongful Death Act, MCL § 600.2922, states:

(1) Whenever the death of a person or injuries resulting in death shall be caused by wrongful act, neglect, or fault of another, and the act, neglect, or fault is such as would, if death had not ensued, have entitled the party injured to maintain an action and recover damages, the person who or the corporation that would have been liable, if death had not ensued, shall be liable to an action for damages, notwithstanding the death of the person injured, and although the death was caused under circumstances that constitute a felony.
