Do I Need A Lawyer For A Car Accident In Cadillac, MI?
If you are injured in a car accident in Cadillac, MI you are not required to hire a lawyer but it is in your best interest. An experienced attorney can help protect your legal rights to collect Michigan No-Fault wage loss, PIP benefits and get your medical bills paid. Unfortunately, Michigan’s No-Fault law can present many potential hurdles for the uninformed consumer.
For example, many drivers are required by their insurance company to provide “notice” if you are injured in a hit and run or by a driver that is uninsured. Insurance policies may have contract language that requires a 30 day notice to recover uninsured motorist protection if you get injured in a hit and run crash. (About 20% of all drivers in Michigan drive uninsured.) Failure to comply with the “notice” requirement in your “uninsured motorist” policy can mean that your policy gets voided and you lose your ability to recover compensation for injuries and losses. This can leave you with expensive medical bills and no insurance for needed healthcare and medical treatment in your future.
An experienced Cadillac car accident lawyer can help protect you from these types of traps. Sadly, another concerning trend we’re seeing is when auto insurance companies and claims adjusters try to trick crash victims, who are already under financial pressure after a crash, into “settling” their injury claims for a lot less than they’re worth, or even forfeiting all of their future rights to auto No-Fault benefits and/or pain and suffering compensation.
