Types of Personal Injury Claims We Handle

Do you have a personal injury claim?

After an accident, you may wonder whether or not you have a valid personal injury claim. Here is a short test for determining whether or not you have a strong case:

1. Was another person at fault for causing the accident?
2. Were you physically injured as a result of the accident? (Examples include broken bones, cuts and lacerations, whiplash, and brain and spinal cord injuries.)
3. Is there financial recovery available through either an insurance policy or the assets of the person or company who was to blame?

What should you do after an accident?

Regardless of the circumstances that lead to your injury, the first thing you should do is call for emergency help. Next, be sure to collect the contact information of any witnesses to the event. Then, take out your smartphone’s camera and capture clear images of the scene of the accident or any physical damage that occurred. Lastly, visit a doctor to receive a proper medical diagnosis for your injuries.

When seeking compensation for your injuries, insurance companies will do everything they can to limit the amount owed to you. By documenting the accident through witness testimony, photos, and medical records, we can build a strong case to maximize the compensation you are due.

When should I file a claim?

If you have been injured in an accident, contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible. In Michigan and Wisconsin there is something called a Statute of Limitations. This means that there is only a finite amount of time that a person has to file a lawsuit after an accident unfolds. If you attempt to file a lawsuit after that period of time passes, your lawsuit will be dismissed.

In addition, the sooner you contact our office, the sooner we can begin working on your case. We will look at the facts of your case, investigate the accident, and uncover all potential sources of financial recovery - meaning you receive the compensation you need to cover medical bills, lost wages, and other associated costs.
