Are claims that can be brought following a wrongful death caused by a motor vehicle accident different from claims for injury caused by automobile accidents?
A. Yes. When someone has been killed in a car accident as the result of another person’s carelessness or negligence, there are additional legal claims that will be available to the family and loved ones of a person who was killed that are not available to people who have suffered serious injury. The Michigan Legislature has intended these additional remedies to help families and loved ones of those killed in car accidents.
