Wrongful Death

Wrongful Death – Personal Injury Attorneys serving Grand Rapids, Michigan and West Michigan for over 40 years

The death of a loved one caused by another’s negligence is known as a wrongful death claim. The claim is brought by the personal representative of the deceased’s estate. Those who may share in the proceeds of the recovery against the negligent party that caused the death are the spouse, children and others enumerated by the Michigan Wrongful Death Statute.

If the deceased died as a result of a motor vehicle collision, Michigan No-Fault benefits may be available to the estate of the deceased. Insurance companies are protected by experienced adjusters and legal counsel whose sole purpose is to settle the estate’s claim for the least amount of money. To protect the estate’s rights, you need an experienced, diligent and aggressive attorney on your side.

Michael F. Kelly and his staff at Kelly Law Offices, P.C. are dedicated to making sure the deceased’s estate receives adequate compensation for the wrongful death claim. This will include recovery for medical bills, loss of the deceased’s earning capacity, pain and suffering endured by the deceased and the emotional pain and suffering by survivors. The attorneys of Kelly Law Offices, P.C. are available for consultation for hospital, rehab facility or home visits.
