Wrongful death claims in Michigan are subject to strict deadlines that can depend on the underlying cause of death. Contacting an attorney early helps protect the claim.
Because deadlines vary by claim type and some notice requirements come due much sooner than the general filing deadline, speak with an attorney as soon as possible after your injury.
Michigan wrongful death claims are brought through the personal representative of the deceased’s estate, on behalf of eligible family members such as a spouse, children, and parents. We help families establish the proper representative and guide them through each step, including the time limits that apply.
These cases require careful, sensitive investigation. We gather accident reports, medical records, and witness statements, and we work with experts where needed to establish how the death occurred and who is responsible. Acting promptly matters, because evidence can disappear.
Ajrouch Law is based in Southfield at 24370 Northwestern Highway, minutes from Farmington Hills, near the M-10 and I-696 interchange. Being located in the city means we represent injured Farmington Hills residents as neighbors and handle local cases in the courts we work in regularly.
Farmington Hills sits at the crossing of I-696, M-10 (the Lodge Freeway), US-24 (Telegraph Road), and M-39 (the Farmington Hills Freeway), and is one of Metro Detroit’s largest employment centers.
