Losing a loved one is one of life’s most devastating experiences. When a death is caused by another person’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional act, the law provides families with the right to pursue justice through a wrongful death claim. At JKH Law, PLC, we stand beside families in Michigan during these difficult times, fighting for accountability and the financial support survivors need to move forward.

Understanding Wrongful Death in Michigan

Michigan’s Wrongful Death Act (MCL 600.2922) allows the personal representative of the deceased’s estate to bring a lawsuit on behalf of surviving family members. Damages may include:

• Medical expenses related to the final injury or illness

• Funeral and burial costs

• Loss of financial support the loved one would have provided

• Loss of companionship, care, and guidance for surviving family members

• Pain and suffering experienced by the decedent before passing

As a Michigan wrongful death attorney, Jonathon Homa helps families understand their rights under the statute and build strong claims to maximize recovery.

Common Causes of Wrongful Death

Wrongful death claims can arise in many different contexts, including:

• Auto Accidents – fatal car, motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian crashes caused by negligent drivers

• Workplace Accidents – unsafe conditions or employer negligence leading to fatal injuries

• Premises Liability – unsafe properties or negligent security resulting in deadly harm

• Intentional Acts – including assaults or other wrongful conduct

Recognizing the Full Impact on Families

The sudden loss of a spouse, parent, or child causes immeasurable grief. Beyond the emotional pain, families often face overwhelming financial challenges: loss of income, unpaid medical bills, and the absence of a loved one’s care and guidance. Jonathon Homa takes the time to listen, to understand your story, and to fight for compensation that honors the life of your loved one and protects your family’s future.
