If you have suffered the loss of a loved one due to the wrongful act of another person or Corporation, you might have a case known as a "wrongful death" action. This is a lawsuit filed in behalf of an estate or the relatives of the deceased person to recover damages for the loss of his or her life. Whether the tragedy occurs from an auto accident, from a defective product, or the intentional act of someone else, the law provides for compensation to the estate of the deceased based upon the wrongful act of another person or corporation.

The State of Michigan provides for recovery of economic damages as well as emotional distress suffered by the relatives. If you are in a position of bearing the responsibility of making a claim in behalf of a relative who has died, we will consult with you to determine the facts and nature of the case on a contingent fee basis.

Burhans Law Office represents individuals who have suffered a personal injury as a result of the negligence of someone else or a Corporation. Although Michigan is a "no fault" State in terms of most property damages and work loss benefits, compensation is still available to those who have suffered a serious bodily injury or disfigurement in the event of an auto accident. We will thoroughly consult with you and investigate your claim for the maximum recovery that is allowed by law, whether by settlement or trial.
