Wrongful Death

Michigan wrongful death claims fill survivors with many types of emotion: grief, anger, confusion, guilt, and heartache.  In addition to your loss, you are left with a complicated legal matter. 

Often, people are unsure if they even have a wrongful death claim. Simply put, a wrongful death claim is filed when someone's negligence causes the death of another person. The surviving family members are able to seek compensation for their loss by contacting a wrongful death lawyer in Michigan who will attempt to recover medical and funeral expenses, loss of future earnings and benefits, and the loss of companionship, love and affection.

When you choose a Michigan wrongful death lawyer, it's critical that you choose a lawyer who only handles personal injury and wrongful death claims.  Accidental death cases are difficult to pursue, will be very costly, and require the assistance of a trained injury lawyer that can threaten a lawsuit if necessary.  

On a personal note, Keller & Keller has been practicing law since 1936.  We have handled hundreds of wrongful death claims and have witnessed a family's grief firsthand.  Our founder, Geroge S. Keller, was so passionate in his feelings about wrongful death law that he ultimately forced the supreme court to change their views on wrongful death damages. 

Many of our former clients expressed similar concerns before hiring us: "the rest of my family think it's too early," or "filing a claim is the wrong thing to do."  And while you initially may feel this way, it's important that you not confuse your emotions with the responsibility to see that the liable party is held accountable and you and your loved ones receive a small amount of justice for a loss that can never be replaced.  They are two separate issues and need to be treated as such. It is absolutely critical that the survivor(s) retain a successful wrongful death attorney as quickly as possible.  This enables us to secure evidence, and ensures you the ability to fully focus on your feelings of loss. 

In order to win a wrongful death case, the following elements must be present:

* The death of a human being
* Caused by negligence of another person, company, or entity
* The survival of family members who are suffering monetary injury as a result of the death
* The appointment of a personal representative for the descedent's estate.
