MI HB6086

Expands wrongful death damages to include "past and future" damages, explicitly adding recovery for the deceased's lost earning capacity and household services.

Adds specific provision allowing recovery of damages for loss of earning capacity an unemancipated minor would have sustained after reaching age 14.

Updates statutory language throughout section 2922 for clarity, replacing archaic terms like "shall be" with "is" and "shall" with "must" or "will."

Designates the amended provisions as curative to correct the court's holding in Daher v Prime Healthcare Services-Garden City, LLC (2024, Docket No. 165377).

Reorganizes subsections (6) through (9) as new subsections (7) through (10) to accommodate expanded damages language in the revised subsection (6).
