How are damages calculated in a wrongful death case in Michigan?

Wrongful death lawsuits are about more than just money—they’re about justice for a life taken too soon.

Under Michigan law, survivors may recover damages for:

  • Medical bills and expenses related to the injury or death
  • Lost wages and future income the deceased would have earned
  • Loss of companionship, care, guidance, and support
  • Pain and suffering of the deceased before passing
  • Funeral and burial costs

The people who may be eligible to receive compensation include a spouse, children, parents, or others who depended on the deceased.

Whether the death was caused by a car accident, medical negligence, workplace hazard, or police misconduct, Michigan courts take these claims seriously.
