I was online looking for an auto accident attorney after my car crash. I came across Michigan Auto Law. I looked at their website and reviews, and decided to give them a call. This was the best decision I could have made. My attorney Jeff Bussell was the best. He is very honest and trustworthy. I also had the pleasure of working with his paralegal Julie. I never had to call and ask any questions about my case because Jeff and Julie kept me informed every step of the way. I definitely will be recommending friends and family members to Jeff at Michigan Auto Law.

Why Do I Need A Dearborn Car Accident Lawyer?
You need a Dearborn car accident lawyer to help you protect your rights to compensation. An experienced attorney will ensure that your legal rights to collect No-Fault wage loss and PIP benefits are protected. They will also help you get your medical bills paid under our state’s auto No-Fault insurance law. And they will help you avoid possible financial traps for the unwary consumer.
In one example, insurance companies can require a victim to provide “notice” if you are ever injured in a hit and run crash or injured by an uninsured driver. Insurance policies are legally allowed to have contract language that requires 30 days notice, in order to recover your uninsured motorist protection when you are injured in a hit and run crash or a crash with an uninsured driver. (Uninsured drivers are common, with approximately 20% of all drivers in Michigan estimated to be driving uninsured.) Failure to comply with this 30-day “notice” requirement in your “uninsured motorist” policy can mean that your policy gets voided and you lose the ability to recover any compensation for injuries and/or losses. Your own insurance company, to whom you have been paying your premiums, now leaves you with nothing – or worse yet, with expensive medical bills that you have to pay out of pocket, and no insurance to pay for needed medical care and treatment that could arise in the future. And the worst part? You may not even know that you have to give that notice. (Many consumers don’t read their insurance policies thoroughly, so this is just one reason why it’s so important that you do.)
An experienced Dearborn car accident lawyer can protect you from other insurance industry tricks, too. Sadly, some auto insurance companies and claims adjusters have been known to try to trick residents, who are already under financial pressure after an injury in a crash, into “settling” their injury claims for a lot less than they’re actually worth. They have also been known to ask injury victims to sign away their future legal rights to No-Fault benefits and pain and suffering compensation.
Our Dearborn car accident lawyers are here to help you and to protect you. We’ll make sure you receive everything you are entitled to after a crash, from both your insurance company and from the insurance company of the negligent driver. It’s important to call and have a free consultation with an experienced attorney after any motor vehicle crash in which someone is injured.

It’s difficult to determine an exact timeline for how long it will take to get a settlement. Since each case is so unique, it’s a tough question to answer. In general, there are several factors that can determine how long it will take, including: the victim’s injuries, prognosis and current and future medical needs; whether the victim is partially or fully disabled from working; whether the injuries have resulted in an impairment that affects the ability to lead a normal life; whether the injuries necessitate “excess” coverage for medical bills and lost wages; the details of the personal injury experience, track record and reputation of the attorneys; the at-fault driver’s auto insurance company, the adjuster, the defense attorney and liability limits. Note that attorneys who are known for going to trial can typically settle automobile crash cases for money, much faster.
