Do I Need A Pedestrian Accident Lawyer In Michigan?
If you are injured in a pedestrian accident in Michigan you are not required to hire a lawyer but it is in your best interest. An experienced attorney can protect your legal rights to get your medical bills paid for and to be reimbursed for lost wages under our state’s auto No-Fault insurance law. Our state’s auto No-Fault insurance law is complex and can present many traps for the unwary. That’s why having a skilled and experienced attorney from our law firm is so important.
Take for example giving “notice” to the insurance company after an injury. If you do not file your “written notice of injury” with the proper auto insurance company and if you do not do so on time, then you may end up forfeiting all of your No-Fault PIP benefits forever under our strict one-year statute of limitations. The same holds true for expensive medical bills and lost wages: If your claim for payment is not submitted within one year of the date that they were incurred, then your claim will not be paid by the auto insurance company. Also, if you were walking and injured by a hit-and-run driver or an uninsured driver, then there may be “notice” requirements in your own “uninsured motorist” policy. Failure to comply could result in your being denied and/or disqualified from “uninsured motorist” coverage and, thus, losing 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 the claims adjuster from the auto insurance company that is handling your claim for No-Fault benefits. Did you know that the Supreme Court in this state has ruled that your own claims adjuster does not have to advise you of the benefits that you are legally entitled to? They can also ask you to sign a release right after your crash. This is something you should never do without having talked with your attorney first. Sadly, this tactic lately includes auto insurance companies and claims adjusters who try to trick victims who are already under financial pressure into “settling” their injury claims for much less than they are worth and forfeiting all of their future legal rights to No-Fault benefits and pain and suffering compensation.
An experienced attorney from our firm can and will help and protect you if you were walking and injured by the negligence of an at-fault driver of a car or truck. We will make sure you receive all of the No-Fault benefits you are entitled to from the auto insurance company and all of the pain and suffering compensation you are entitled to from the insurance company of the negligent driver who caused your injuries.
That is why it is so important to call and have a free consultation with an experienced Michigan pedestrian accident lawyer from our law firm immediately if you were walking and hit by a car or truck and injured.
