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.

Who can file a wrongful death claim after a loss in Rochester Hills?
Michigan law requires the claim to be brought by the personal representative of the estate, for eligible relatives such as a spouse, children, and parents. We help your family establish the representative.
Our loss came from a crash on M-59 or a major road. How is that handled?
High-speed crashes require careful investigation. We secure agency reports, reconstruct what happened where needed, and pursue every responsible party and insurer.
What can our family recover?
Medical and funeral costs, lost financial support, and the loss of the companionship and guidance the deceased provided. Where higher coverage applies, the available recovery may be greater.
What does it cost to pursue a claim?
Nothing upfront. We handle wrongful death claims on contingency, so your family owes no attorney fee unless we recover compensation.
How long do we have to act?
Wrongful death deadlines in Michigan are strict and can depend on the cause of death. Because evidence fades, contacting an attorney soon after the loss is important.

Wrongful Death Claims in the Rochester Hills Community
In Rochester Hills, wrongful death claims often arise from the high-speed crashes its major corridors and the M-59 freeway produce, as well as deaths from unsafe property conditions or other negligence across the city\u2019s large footprint. The speed and volume of traffic on these roads mean crashes here can be catastrophic.
We guide Rochester Hills families through that complexity. Working through the personal representative of the estate, we identify everyone entitled to recover, coordinate the often-multiple insurers involved, including any higher-limit coverage, and build the case thoroughly, so the focus stays on accountability and the family\u2019s future rather than on fighting the insurance company alone.
