Michigan Wrongful Death Lawyer
An
accidental death is just that, “accidental,” but you shouldn’t have to accept that as the explanation or conclusion for the loss of a loved one at the hands of another
due to neglect, misinformation, or carelessness. While it is true that you can’t place a value on human life, it is even more disheartening when that life is of a loved one and someone dear to you. But you are entitled to know what happened, why, and who’s responsible for the outcome that lead to the death of that person so near and dear to you. As well you should have those answers and while compensation won’t bring that person back, it can help with expenses and grief left in the absence of that particular person in your life.
According to the Michigan Department of Community Health, there were close to 96,000 Hospitalizations for Injury and Poisoning, over 5,500 deaths from fatal injuries, and close to 3,500
deaths from unintentional injuries.
Unintentional injuries make up more than 33% of
hospitalization deaths and rank as the fifth greatest cause of death in Michigan. With these numbers, there has to be some accountability for the loss of so many lives.
