Frequently Asked Questions About Wrongful Death Cases
Do you handle wrongful death cases nationwide?
Yes. While we are based in Michigan, we represent survivors and families in all 50 states. No matter where your loss occurred, we are here to help.
Who can file a wrongful death lawsuit?
In most states, immediate family members such as spouses, children, and parents have the right to file a wrongful death claim. The rules vary by state, and we can help you understand your options during your initial consultation.
How long do I have to file a wrongful death claim?
Every state has its own statute of limitations for wrongful death claims, which means time is critical. Contact us as soon as possible so we can evaluate your case and make sure your rights are protected.
What compensation can my family recover?
Families may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, funeral costs, lost income, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering. Every case is different and we will fight to recover everything your family is owed.
What does it cost to hire a wrongful death attorney?
We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you. There are no upfront costs and no fees unless we win.
What if the person responsible was criminally charged?
A criminal case and a civil wrongful death lawsuit are separate. Even if criminal charges were not filed or resulted in an acquittal, your family may still have a strong civil case.
