Lorraine McKaig 88, dies after leaving her car that had crashed into fence.

The family of a Livonia grandmother is seeking answers after the 88-year-old woman was found lying on the ground after her car crashed on Detroit’s east side and she later died at a hospital, hours after she went missing following a massive industrial fire. Family members want to know how the elderly woman, Lorraine McKaig, ended up in a car crash at Coleman A. Young International Airport near Conner and Outer Drive after apparently being redirected from a route that she took every day on Merriman Road, which was closed Wednesday afternoon because of the fire at a hazardous waste recycling company. What every family needs to know about wrongful death claims When a person dies as the result of a car, truck, bicycle, pedestrian, or other kind of accident, family members must deal with the tragedy as best they can. Many decisions need to be made, and a wrongful death claim needs to be filed. In Michigan, a claim can be filed by certain family members, but there are strict requirements and deadlines that must be met. It is crucial to speak with a Michigan personal injury attorney to get necessary information and advice.
