Yes, if you were injured in a hit and run car accident in Michigan you need a lawyer who has the specialized experience, skills, resources and proven results to fight for you to recover the compensation, benefits and damages you are entitled to under the law.
He or she will help you understand how much your case is worth and he or she will know how to maximize your settlement by negotiating with the insurance companies to get the full value of your car accident case.
Insurance companies evaluate claims and determine whether to settle – and if so for how much – based on risk and exposure. An experienced attorney with a track record of proven results, including top reported settlements and verdicts, significantly increases both the risk and the exposure to the insurance company that insures the negligent driver who caused your injury.
Another way to look at this is that an attorney who has a proven record of going to trial and of securing top-reported verdicts and settlements can settle cases for significantly more money and often much faster.
In Michigan, a hit and run lawyer doesn’t cost you anything unless they win your case. A one-third (1/3) contingency fee is the fee arrangement that most auto accident attorneys will charge in Michigan. An attorney cannot charge a contingency fee in excess of 1/3 or 33%.
At Michigan Auto Law, we will never ask you to pay any attorney fees unless and until we win your case. You do not 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.
On top of that, you and each and every one of our clients will get our 100% client satisfaction guarantee.
You should get a lawyer immediately after a hit and run in Michigan because the laws that apply when the at-fault driver leaves the scene of a crash are very complex. For example, if specific filing deadlines are not complied with, you could lose your right to pursue a claim for pain and suffering compensation.
Plus, the insurance industry’s own data shows that a person who is represented by an experienced car accident attorney in Michigan recovers significantly more than a person who is not.
In fact, attorneys who are known for going to trial – which our attorneys are known for – can settle cases for significantly more money and often much faster.
Also, an attorney from our law firm will handle all aspects of your case so you can focus on recovering from your injuries and on rebuilding your life. 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 are here for you.
You can change your Michigan hit and run lawyer at any time and for any reason. If your attorney is not representing you in the way you expect, then you can and should make a change. Our Proven Attorney Transition Plan makes it easy and quick to get an experienced attorney from our firm who will be there and fight for you. It starts with a free consultation with an attorney from our law firm. Next, you sign up to have Michigan Auto Law represent you. Then, that same day, we order your file from your previous attorney and we immediately get to work putting your case back on track so that you recover the compensation, benefits and damages that you are entitled to under the law.
Each car accident case is unique, so it is a difficult question to answer but in general there are several factors that can help answer how long a settlement will take. These include: (1) your injuries, prognosis and current future medical needs; (2) whether you are partially or fully disabled from working; (3) whether your injuries have resulted in an impairment that affects your ability to lead your normal life; (4) whether your injuries will necessitate “excess” coverage for medical bills and lost wages; (5) the experience, track record and reputation of your attorney (because attorneys known for going to trial can settle cases for money and often much faster); and (6) the auto insurance company that issued your “uninsured motorist” coverage policy, the adjuster, the defense attorney and the limits of your UM policy.
