What Financial Losses Can a Michigan Wrongful Death Claim Cover?

Economic damages may cover several categories of loss connected with the death. Depending on the facts and the available evidence, they can include medical expenses related to the final injury, funeral and burial expenses, lost income, lost financial support, and other qualifying financial losses.

Compensation is not a price placed on a person's life. It is the civil justice system's method for recognizing legally compensable losses caused by the death, and what may be recovered depends on the circumstances of the case.
