Why Do I Need A Michigan Brain Injury Lawyer?
In Michigan, if you suffered a closed head injury in an automobile crash, then you need an experienced and specialized brain injury lawyer because they – unlike a general practice personal injury attorney – is the best qualified to help you, protect you and get the best possible settlement in your case.
Closed head injury cases such as yours are not like other cases, which is why you need to have the right attorney with the specialized skill and experience necessary to properly represent you and properly litigate your case.
An experienced Michigan brain injury lawyer will understand the medicine of closed head injuries and will know how to first identify your closed head injury symptoms. This is important because – as peer-reviewed journal articles have shown – a closed head injury is missed in hospital emergency rooms between 56-85% of the time.
An experienced attorney will know that a so-called “normal” MRI or CT scan does not disprove your case because many if not most closed head injuries involve diffuse axonal injury which is not detectable on an MRI or CT scan.
An experienced brain injury lawyer from our law firm will know to disregard an insurance company doctor’s IME finding that a crash victim has suffered only a “mild” closed head injury – understanding that “mild” is just a medical classification and that calling a closed head injury “mild” does not necessarily have any bearing on the victim’s long-term disability and/or how serious the victim’s impairments may be.
Finally, with an experienced attorney from our law firm on your side, not only are you more likely to receive the medical care and treatment you need to heal and recover after your injury, but your case will also likely settle for more money and faster.
That is why it is so important to call and have a free consultation with an experienced Michigan brain injury lawyer as soon as you or a family member are able.
