Understanding the Compensation Available to Victims’ Families
When a loved one is tragically killed in a pedestrian accident, surviving family members may be entitled to pursue compensation through a wrongful death claim. This type of claim can help recover financial losses and provide a measure of justice for the deceased. Compensation may cover medical expenses incurred before death, funeral and burial costs, loss of income, and loss of companionship. Emotional distress and the pain suffered by family members are also factors that can be considered in a wrongful death case.
In Michigan, these claims can be complex due to specific legal procedures and deadlines. Having experienced legal representation is crucial to ensuring families receive the maximum compensation they deserve.
