Wrongful Death
WRONGFUL DEATH ATTORNEYS — RELENTLESS LITIGATORS FOR FAMILIES WHO REFUSE TO BE SILENT
When negligence kills someone you love, we don’t ask for justice; we demand it.
Wrongful death is not just a legal claim. It is the most brutal form of injustice imaginable. A life was stolen. A family shattered. A future cut short because someone else decided to be careless, reckless, or outright indifferent to human life.
At Mumen Barlaskar Law Firm, we don’t soften our approach to these cases.
We do not negotiate gently.
We do not tolerate excuses.
We hold every responsible party fully accountable, aggressively, publicly, and without hesitation.
If a person, company, hospital, driver, or corporation caused the death of your loved one, we are prepared to take them to court and fight until every ounce of justice is delivered.
We represent families throughout Wayne, Macomb, and Oakland County who refuse to let their loved one’s death be dismissed, minimized, or ignored.
What Is a Wrongful Death Claim in Michigan?
Under the Michigan Wrongful Death Act (MCL 600.2922), a wrongful death occurs when someone is killed because another person or corporation failed to act responsibly.
Wrongful death cases commonly arise from:
- Auto, truck, or motorcycle crashes
- Pedestrian or bicycle collisions
- Medical malpractice or hospital negligence
- Nursing home abuse or neglect
- Workplace or construction incidents
- Defective or dangerous products
- Criminal or reckless misconduct
If your loved one could have filed a personal injury lawsuit, had they survived, then their estate, through the personal representative, has the right to file a wrongful death action and pursue full damages.
And when we file, the defense knows exactly what kind of fight is coming.
Who Is Entitled to Compensation?
Michigan law allows certain surviving family members to share in the compensation, including:
- Spouse
- Children and stepchildren
- Parents or grandparents
- Brothers and sisters
- Anyone named in the will
We ensure that every eligible family member’s rights are protected and that the compensation reflects the full magnitude of the loss — not some watered-down insurance formula designed to cut costs.
Damages We Pursue Aggressively
Wrongful death damages are not symbolic — they are financial accountability. We pursue:
- Medical expenses before death
- Funeral and burial costs
- The decedent’s lost income and future earning potential
- Loss of companionship, care, guidance, and support
- Emotional anguish of surviving family members
- Pain and suffering endured by the deceased before passing
Insurance companies routinely try to minimize wrongful death claims.
We don’t let them.
We bring economists, medical experts, life-care planners, and forensic specialists who quantify the full impact of a life cut short — and we force the defense to confront those numbers.
How We Prove Wrongful Death — With Aggressive Precision
To win a wrongful death case, we must prove:
- Police reports and crash reconstruction
- Medical records and mortality testimony
- Eyewitness accounts
- Company safety violations
- Surveillance videos
- Black-box data (in vehicle cases)
- Expert witness testimony
We do not rely on voluntary cooperation from corporations or insurance companies — we force disclosure through subpoenas, motions, and aggressive litigation tactics.
