What a Wrongful Death Claim Means in Michigan

A wrongful death claim happens when a person dies because of another person’s careless or harmful actions. This could be from a car crash, a workplace accident, medical mistakes, or unsafe property conditions. In Michigan, the law gives the family of the person who passed away the right to file a case. This is meant to give the family some level of fairness and help them move forward.

The claim is not just about holding someone accountable. It is also about making sure the family can keep living their lives. A wrongful death can take away the main earner in a household. It can also bring funeral costs, medical bills, and emotional pain. The legal system in Michigan recognizes this and allows families to seek money to cover those losses.

Who Can File a Claim and What Can Be Recovered

Not everyone can file a wrongful death claim. In Michigan, the case is filed by the person in charge of the estate of the person who passed away. This is usually a family member like a spouse, parent, or adult child. The law allows them to ask for help to cover funeral costs, lost income the person would have earned, medical expenses, and money to make up for the loss of love, companionship, and support.

This may sound like a lot to take in. The court process can be long, and it may feel hard to keep up while also dealing with grief. That is why having a legal team that knows the law and cares about your well-being is so important.

- WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING -

In June, my wife and I asked our attorney about giving us a loan against any settlement proceeds from our case. He told us that the state bar does not
permit lawyers to participate in the financing of clients. The offer of settlement was very low so the case needed to be filed in court. I called Fast Funds. Within 24 hours, I had entered into an agreement with them, selling a very small portion of the anticipated proceeds to them in exchange for immediate financing. Now my suit is in court and I don't have to worry about money until it's outcome. Thank god for Fast Funds
B.G.
As a result of the advances you have made to our client, we were able to refuse an extremely low settlement offer and take the case to court. We settled the day of the trial for a very generous sum. Had there been no advances by Fast Funds, our client would have had no choice but to accept the inadequate offer since he was in severe debt due to his inability to work. Thank you for your helpful assistance in providing our client with the ability to persevere.
C.F.
I was involved in an accident which took my left leg. I was forced to live homeless for eleven months. Thanks to the Fast Funds people advancing money. I now live in an apartment,I am walking on a prosthetic and otherwise getting my life back together, even though my attorney has not yet settled my lawsuit. I don't know what I would have done for money because the insurance company has offered nothing so far.
A.R.S.
I was involved in an auto accident which caused me to suffer a herniated disc. Because of this injury, I was forced to miss many months of work. I had no income and no place or person to turn to for money. My attorney told me he was unable to help with any financing and the insurance company was refusing to settle the case. I turned to a company called Fast funds. They immediately reviewed my file and took the financial pressure off by providing me with interim financing. I am now able to wait for as long as it takes for my lawyer to achieve a successful result in my case. Without the financial involvement of Fast Funds, I don't know what I would have done.
K.P.
I wanted to thank you for your sensitivity in helping me cope through a very difficult time in my life. Without your help, I would have been unable to pay my rent , forcing my wife and children to be put on the street. I have not been able to return to work and I was tempted to accept the insurance company's very low offer to settle, even though I knew it was not fair or reasonable. You have given me the ability to withstand the financial pressures. Thanks for your help. I will never forget it
C.S.
I have in the past referred clients to Fast Funds Inc., a non-recourse company. The experience of my clients
and my firm were totally positive. Fast Funds was responsive to the clients financial and emotional needs, provided the necessary emergency money and did not interfere in any manner with my handling of the cases. The clients, without my input, negotiated the advance directly with the company. In each case, they were completely satisfied with the final result of the case, including the amount of profit earned by Fast Funds. Non-recourse funding is clearly a valuable tool to the plaintiff's attorney.
M.J.L.
"I am writing to recommend the valuable assistance of the Fast Funds Inc., a company that provided interim funding to financially needy clients. They help to insure that a case will be brought to a successful resolution. A good case in point is when I was offered $75,000.00 for a seriously injured client. Had she not been able to take advantage of the advance financing offered by Fast Funds, I would have been forced to take the money. As it turned out, because my client now had the financial ability to withstand the pressures of time, I tried the case to a jury and received a verdict of $315,000.00.
M.S.D.
It is my belief that non-recourse companies, such as Fast Funds, the company to whom I refer my needy clients, perform an invaluable service to both the client and the attorney. Simply put, it is common knowledge that one of the tools negotiation utilized by insurance companies is time. Offering
considerably less money than the actual case value to a client in desperate need of funds while the case is pending, gives the insurance companies a tremendous advantage. This advantage is minimized and the playing field is leveled when the client has the ability to obtain funds for a minimal portion of the anticipated proceeds. Many times, with no prospects of income, an injured party will settle the case for whatever offer is made.

How Litigation Funding Can Help During This Time

When families start a wrongful death lawsuit, it often takes months or even years for the case to settle. That means waiting for a result while bills continue to come in. If your loved one was the main provider in your home, this wait can put your family in a serious financial crisis.

Litigation funding helps families during this wait. It is a way to get financial help now, before the case is over. With litigation funding, you receive money to cover basic needs like rent, food, or car payments. You do not have to pay it back unless you win your case. This is not like a loan from a bank. It is risk-free. If the case does not end in your favor, you owe nothing.

This can be a lifeline during such a hard time. It lets you keep your home, pay bills, and take care of your family without having to rush into a low settlement offer. Insurance companies often count on families being desperate. They make low offers hoping people will take them quickly. Litigation funding gives you the power to wait for the right outcome.

Why Families Choose Litigation Funding for Wrongful Death Claims

Losing a loved one turns your world upside down. When you are also facing financial pressure, you may feel forced to make fast decisions. That is where litigation funding becomes a smart choice. It gives you breathing room. You get to focus on healing while your legal team works on your case. You do not have to worry about falling behind on bills. You do not have to borrow money from friends or take on high-interest debt.

The best part is that applying is easy. Most funding companies only need basic case information. Your attorney works with them to get the facts, and once approved, you can often receive the funds within days. It is fast, safe, and simple.

How the Legal Process Works When You Have Support

When you decide to move forward with a wrongful death case, your attorney will gather facts about what happened. They may talk to witnesses, collect records, and work with people who understand the cause of the death. They will build a strong case to show who was at fault and why your family deserves support.

Having funding in place during this time means your attorney has more time to fight for the right amount. Insurance companies are less likely to play hardball when they know you are not desperate. They may come to the table with better offers, knowing you can wait for a trial if needed.

Litigation funding also helps your attorney stay focused. They can take the time to prepare and gather everything they need without being pushed to settle early. It is a better process for everyone involved.

Real Support for Real Families in Michigan

Michigan law gives families the right to stand up and be heard when a loved one is taken too soon. This right matters. It is about more than money. It is about fairness. It is about giving families the chance to move forward and live with dignity.

This is especially important in Michigan, where wrongful death cases are taken seriously. Courts here understand the deep pain that comes with sudden loss. They know that families suffer long after the news stories fade. The law gives space for those voices to be heard, and that includes giving financial help to those left behind.
