Michigan car accident victims have a number of legal rights.  For this type of accident, the family members may be able to make a claim for Survivor Loss Benefits.  This can include payment of funeral expenses, lost wages, and loss of other services.

Furthermore, the family members may have a claim for wrongful death against the driver of the van for negligence.
