Michigan Wrongful Death Lawsuits

A Michigan wrongful death lawsuit asserts that a motorcycle accident victim was killed because of the negligence of an individual, business, or doctor/hospital. If this can be proven, the motorcycle accident victim’s family members are entitled to money damages resulting from the death. These damages include loss of earnings, loss of services, loss of society and companionship, and other types of damages.

A common example of a wrongful death lawsuit would be if a car driver was negligent in some way and caused an accident with a motorcycle in which the motorcyclist died.  So if a car switched lanes without looking and did not see the motorcycle right next to him, and then the motorcyclist died because of this accident, then the motorcyclist’s family could file a wrongful death lawsuit. 

The Michigan Wrongful Death Statute sets forth the specific types of damages available to the family members and the specific family members who can claim damages.
