WHAT IS A WRONGFUL DEATH?
As a matter of law, a “wrongful death” happens as the result of an individual or entity’s negligence. Corporations and government municipalities can also be held legally responsible for their action or inactions that cause serious injury or death. A wrongful death claim is typically brought in a civil action under Michigan’s Wrongful Death Act, MCL § 600.2922. Incidents that may lead to a wrongful death lawsuit include:
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Bus accidents
- Trucking accidents
- Defective products
- Premises liability
- Railroad/aviation accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Workplace accidents
- Birth injury
- Nursing home negligence
- Police misconduct
- Prison or jail neglect
- Manslaughter or homicide
