🚨 Michigan Supreme Court Limits Wrongful Death Damages 🚨 In a significant ruling, the Michigan Supreme Court has revisited the issue of damages in wrongful death cases. In Daher v Prime Healthcare Services-Garden City, LLC, the Court concluded that damages for a decedent’s lost future earnings are not recoverable under Michigan's Wrongful Death Act (WDA). This decision overturns the 2016 precedent set by the Court of Appeals in Denney v Kent Co Rd Comm, reaffirming a 1948 ruling that only specific damages—such as reasonable compensation for pain and suffering, loss of financial support, and loss of society and companionship—are recoverable. The Daher ruling emphasizes the importance of legislative intent, demonstrating that if the Legislature had intended to include future earnings as a category of damages, it would have done so explicitly. This case serves as a reminder that when interpreting statutes, what the Legislature omits can be as telling as what it includes.

Here is the latest in our series where we are busting some myths that some people have about Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney: Myth: "I'm in good health, so I don't need a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA)." Busted: While it's true that LPAs are often associated with elderly individuals or those with health issues, accidents and unexpected circumstances can happen to anyone. Creating an LPA allows you to choose someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so, regardless of your current health status. #PrestigeLegalServices #MythBusting #LPA
