Auburn Hills’ location at the I-75 and M-59 interchange makes it a high-traffic environment where serious accidents happen with troubling frequency. When one of those accidents claims a family member’s life — whether on the highway, in a parking lot, or at a commercial property — the grief is compounded by the financial and legal decisions your family now faces. Macomb County Accident Attorneys works with Auburn Hills families to pursue full accountability and the compensation Michigan law allows.
Your Family’s Rights Under Michigan Law
Michigan’s wrongful death statute (MCL 600.2922) gives the personal representative of the deceased person’s estate the right to file a civil lawsuit against the negligent party or parties responsible for the death. Surviving family members — spouses, children, parents, and siblings — may recover for lost financial support, loss of companionship, grief and mental anguish, medical expenses before death, and funeral and burial costs. The statute of limitations is three years from the date of death.
Cases We Handle in Auburn Hills
Our Auburn Hills wrongful death attorneys handle fatal auto and highway accidents, workplace fatalities, deaths from medical negligence, and survivor benefits and damages claims. The I-75 corridor and M-59 are among the highest-fatality stretches in Oakland County, and we handle wrongful death cases arising from those highways regularly.
How We Support Auburn Hills Families
We handle the full scope of the legal process — investigation, evidence preservation, expert consultation, insurance negotiation, and litigation when needed. We calculate the real financial impact of your loss, including long-term lost income, the value of lost companionship, and projected future care costs. We never pressure families toward quick settlements that undervalue what they’ve lost.
Evidence Doesn’t Wait — Neither Should You
Surveillance footage from Auburn Hills’ commercial corridors is typically overwritten within 30 days. Traffic camera data has short retention windows. Witness memories fade. If your loved one was recently killed in Auburn Hills, contacting an attorney immediately gives us the best opportunity to preserve critical evidence and build the strongest possible case for your family.
