A sudden, unexpected injury can turn your whole life upside down in a moment. Apart from the pain and suffering caused by the physical injury, you also have to deal with the stress of covering medical expenses, any property repair costs, and day-to-day expenses – often while being unable to work. It is especially frustrating and complex when the accident or injury occurred because of another party’s negligence.
Under Michigan law, you have the right to file a personal injury claim against the person or company that caused your injuries and recover damages. In order to be able to do so successfully, you will need assistance and guidance from an experienced personal injury attorney.Read More
How Our Michigan Personal Injury Lawyers Can Help You
At The Lobb Law Firm, we firmly believe that no one should suffer due to someone else’s mistake. It is why we focus extensively on helping personal injury victims in Michigan by making sure they get the best legal representation possible.
We can handle all aspects of your personal injury case, including, but not limited to:
- Investigating your case to find out how the accident happened, how you got injured, and who can be held liable for it.
- Analyzing your physician’s reports, medical bills and records, pay stubs, tax returns, letters from your employer, and other documents to determine the extent of economic damages and non-economic damages you have incurred (and the losses you might incur in the future) in order to determine the value of your claim.
- Determining the extent of liability of the at-fault parties (if more than one person or company can be held liable for the accident).
- Gathering evidence to substantiate your claim against the at-fault parties.
- Consulting with experts from different industries – like accident reconstruction specialists, doctors, rehabilitation experts, vocational experts, and life-care planners – in order to strengthen your case against the at-fault parties.
- Negotiating on your behalf with the insurance company for an out-of-court settlement.
- Litigating your case in court if needed to recover damages from the at-fault parties.
- Resolving the liens (by healthcare providers and other parties, if any) against your settlement or jury award.
Why Effective Legal Representation Matters in Personal Injury Cases
High-quality legal representation is crucial in personal injury cases – especially cases where the car accident victims have suffered serious injuries. Some people mistakenly believe that they can negotiate with the insurance adjuster directly and settle the case on their own. While you have the legal rights to do so, it could prove to be a costly mistake for several reasons:
- First and foremost, you need a skilled and knowledgeable personal injury lawyer to determine the value of your claim. Particularly, calculating the value of intangible damages like pain and suffering and emotional distress is next to impossible without the expertise of a seasoned personal injury attorney and specialized experts. Without a lawyer by your side, you might unknowingly settle the case for a fraction of what your case might be actually worth.
- Negotiating with a claims adjuster can be extremely difficult. The adjuster might try everything – from arguing that your injuries are not as serious as you claim to blaming you for the accident – to reduce the value of your claim. Without a Michigan personal injury attorney to help, you might not be able to prove the severity of your injuries and the at-fault parties’ liability.
- Insurance companies tend to settle personal injury cases faster if they believe that the plaintiff’s attorney might take the case to trial. If you are not represented by an attorney, they might try to push you around and force you to accept a lowball offer.
Simply put, legal representation from a dedicated personal injury attorney could be the difference between recovering what you are actually entitled to and accepting an unreasonably low settlement. An accomplished personal injury lawyer would not just be able to handle car accident cases, but also injury claims related to wrongful death, slip and fall accidents, dog bite attacks, medical malpractice, and other areas.
