Does a Wrongful Death Claim Include Loss of Companionship?

Michigan law also recognizes certain personal and relationship-based losses. A family loses much more than income when someone dies, and these losses may include loss of companionship and society. Depending on the circumstances, other legally recognized losses may also apply.

Each category requires evidence and a careful review of the circumstances. A lawyer can explain which categories a particular case may support under Michigan's Wrongful Death Act.
