Helping Families Find Justice After the Unthinkable
Wrongful death cases are among the most complex and challenging in the legal system.

Frequently Asked Questions: Wrongful Death Cases
Do you handle wrongful death cases nationwide?
Yes. Although our offices are based in Michigan, we represent survivors and families nationwide. We handle cases in all 50 states, and no matter where your loss or injury occurred, our team is prepared to stand with you and fight for the justice and accountability you deserve.
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 sets its own deadlines for filing a wrongful death claim, and waiting too long can affect your family’s legal rights. Because these time limits vary, it is important to contact an attorney as soon as possible so your case can be evaluated and your rights can be 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 handle wrongful death cases on a contingency fee basis, so there are no upfront costs to your family. We advance the expenses necessary to investigate your case, and you pay nothing unless we successfully recover compensation on your behalf. If we do not win, you owe no attorney’s fees.
What if the person responsible was criminally charged?
A criminal prosecution and a civil wrongful death lawsuit are two separate legal proceedings. If no criminal charges were filed or a criminal case ended without a conviction, your family may still have the right to pursue a civil claim and seek justice.
