Wrongful Death Attorney in Grand Rapids

A wrongful death lawyer from Morgan and Morgan can handle your case from the beginning to the end while you grieve your loved one. Among others, they can:

• Gather evidence
• Identify whoever was responsible
• Assess the value of your claim
• File a claim with the liable party (usually their insurance carries)
• Negotiating with insurance companies for a favorable settlement
• Represent you in court if necessary. 

One of the primary ways a wrongful death lawyer can help is by seeking compensation for your losses. In personal injury lingo, we call these losses “damages.”

They may include:

• Medical expenses
• Funeral and burial costs
• Lost income
• Lost support and companionship  
• Loss of future earnings
• Pain and suffering

And many more. 

Such a claim is usually filed by the personal representative of the deceased person's estate. This is often a close family member, such as a spouse, parent, or child. The personal representative acts on behalf of the surviving family members and is responsible for pursuing the claim and distributing any damages awarded.
