The Michigan Wrongful Death Act explains who can receive compensation in a wrongful death lawsuit. The parties that can receive compensation are:
The deceased’s spouse, children, or descendants
The deceased’s parents and grandparents
Brothers and sisters of the deceased
A person to whom the deceased’s estate would pass
The statute of limitation laws of Michigan dictate how long a person has to file a wrongful death claim. It is imperative to file a claim within this period.
