A wrongful death claim arises when someone loses their life due to another party’s negligence or wrongdoing.

In Michigan, the claim is filed by the personal representative of the deceased person’s estate, but it is brought on behalf of surviving family members, such as:

• A spouse
• Children or grandchildren
• Parents or grandparents
• Siblings

Compensation in a wrongful death case may include:

• Medical expenses related to the final injury or illness
• Funeral and burial costs
• Loss of financial support
• Loss of companionship and guidance

At Liss, Shapero & Mitnick, we take the time to understand who your loved one was—not just what happened. That personal connection helps us tell their story in a way that truly reflects their impact.
