Detroit Michigan Wrongful Death Lawyers

Wrongful Death

Nothing is more tragic or painful than the wrongful death of a loved one. If you are the personal representative of a person who has died in an accident caused by the negligence or wrongful action of a third party, contact the personal injury law firm of Mayer B. Gordon & Associates as soon as possible. Our wrongful death accident lawyers are aggressive, creative and tenacious in helping families recover maximum compensation for fatal accidents.

In Michigan, a wrongful death claim allows you to collect damages for economic losses such as loss of future wages, medical expenses prior to death, loss of care and guidance to children, loss of society and companionship. Loss of society and companionship extends beyond the marital relationship. In Detroit Michigan wrongful death claims must be filed by the person appointed by probate court to be the personal representative of dead person's estate. However, that personal representative can file a wrongful death claim on behalf of all injured parties.

We have received numerous multimillion dollar verdicts for families of wrongful death victims. In one of the cases we handled in 1986, a 12-year-old child wandered into a 50-acre yard of a company that made cement products. Tragically, the child slipped while walking on a pile of 12-inch pipes when one of the pipes shifted. The child injured his liver and bleed to death. Within a week of the accident, our law firm hired a helicopter to fly over the site to capture video evidence or the callous disregard for safety on the part of the property owner. We recovered a verdict of $2.3 million for the child's parents.
