Why Do I Need a Michigan Car Accident Lawyer?
If you are injured in an automobile crash in the state, you will need a Michigan car accident lawyer to help you. An experienced Michigan car accident lawyer can protect your legal rights to collect wage loss and get your medical bills paid for under our state’s auto No-Fault insurance law. The state’s No-Fault insurance law is complex and can present many traps for the unwary. That’s why having a skilled Michigan car accident lawyer from our law firm is so important. Take for example giving “notice” after an automobile crash. If you’re injured in an automobile crash and you don’t file your application for No-Fault benefits in time, you may end up forfeiting all of your No-Fault PIP benefits forever under our strict one-year statute of limitations. The same applies if you do not submit and make sure an expensive medical bill is paid within one year of the date incurred. Or consider if you were injured by a hit-and-run driver, or involved in a crash with a driver who it later turns out to be driving uninsured. Failing to comply with the “notice” requirements in your own “uninsured motorist” policy can mean your policy will be voided and you lose the ability to recover compensation for your injuries and losses, leaving you with nothing – or worse yet, leaving you with lots of expensive medical bills to pay out of pocket and no insurance to pay for needed medical care and treatment in your future.
Traps for the unwary also exist when it comes to your claims adjuster from your own auto insurance company. Did you know that the Supreme Court in this state has ruled that your own claims adjuster doesn’t have to share what you are legally entitled to with you? They can also ask you to sign a release right after your crash, basically asking you to sign away your rights to future No-Fault benefits and injury compensation.
An experienced Michigan car accident lawyer from our firm can help you and protect you. We can make sure you receive everything you are entitled to after a crash from your own insurance company and from the insurance company of the negligent driver who caused your injuries. That’s why it’s so important to call us and have a free consultation with an experienced Michigan car accident lawyer from our firm immediately after a motor vehicle crash in which you or a loved one are injured.

Read our FAQs below or call to speak to an experienced attorney from our law firm for a free consultation with no obligation now.
We know that one of your first questions after an injury from an automobile crash may be: How much does a Michigan car accident lawyer cost me? You’re not alone in wondering. Many people imagine that hiring legal help is expensive. Not so! At our law firm, we will never ask you to pay any fees unless and until we win your case. You don’t pay anything up front or out-of-pocket. Our attorneys are paid at the end of the case and only if a recovery is made for you first. This is called a contingency fee, which means we only get paid if you get paid – which means we win your case first. And you always get our 100% client satisfaction guarantee.
Hiring an experienced Michigan car accident lawyer will help you understand how much your case is worth. He or she will know how to prove all the harms and losses you have suffered. Most important, your Michigan car accident lawyer will know how to maximize your settlement and how to negotiate with the insurance companies to get you the full value of your case. In this state, this can include compensation for losses such as current and future medical costs, lost wages and future loss of earnings, and pain and suffering compensation for your injuries. Having an attorney who has a proven record of settlements will increase the settlement value of an injury claim.
Yes, it is worth getting a lawyer for a car accident in Michigan if you are injured but don’t take our word for it. The insurance industry’s own data shows that a person who is represented by an experienced attorney recovers significantly more than a person who is not represented by one. Also, at our law firm, you don’t pay unless we win. Our attorneys will handle all aspects of your injury case so you can focus on recovering and trying to put your life back together. We are always here to answer any questions about the case, the process, the law, the insurance company, the adjuster, the judge or anything else. We’re here for you.
You are not legally required to hire an attorney after a crash that isn’t your fault. However, doing so is often in your best interests to make the best possible legal settlement. An attorney that specializes in auto crash cases can help you determine if you’re entitled to pain and suffering compensation or other economic damages. Similarly, they can help insure that you receive all of the medical benefits and lost wages payments you’re entitled to under the auto No-Fault insurance law. Additionally, they may be able to help with claims to repair vehicle damage caused by the motor vehicle crash. The right Michigan car accident lawyer can help you win compensation and protect your legal rights, so you can focus on your medical recovery and getting back to fully living your life.
Each case is unique, so it’s a difficult question to answer but in general there are several factors that can help answer how long a settlement will take. These include: your injuries, prognosis and current future medical needs; whether you are partially or fully disabled from working; whether your injuries have resulted in an impairment that affects your ability to lead your normal life; whether your injuries will necessitate “excess” coverage for medical bills and lost wages; the experience, track record and reputation of your attorney (attorneys known for going to trial can settle cases for money and often much faster); the at-fault driver’s auto insurance company, adjuster, defense attorney and liability limits.
