Frequently Asked Questions About Fatal Crash Cases

  • Who can file a wrongful death lawsuit in Michigan or Ohio?

    In both states, typically the personal representative (often a close family member) can file the claim on behalf of surviving relatives.

  • How long do I have to file a claim?

    The sooner you contact a lawyer, the better.

  • What if the driver wasn’t charged criminally?

    You can still file a civil wrongful death claim even if no criminal charges were filed. The legal standards are different.

  • What if a company vehicle was involved in the fatal crash?

    We handle claims involving commercial and company vehicles. These cases often involve complex liability — and higher compensation potential.

  • How much does it cost to hire your firm?

    You don’t pay us unless we win. Your consultation is always free, and we’ll walk you through everything with no pressure.
