Personal Injury Attorneys Serving Michigan

Trust the Experienced Lawyers who Get You Results.

You may be wondering what exactly personal injury means. It is actually a legal term that refers to an injury of the body, mind, or emotional state of the plaintiff. When legal action is taken as a result of personal injury, the injury was typically caused by negligence or misconduct, but not always.

Your typical personal injury claim could involve a slip and fall, an accident at work, or a car accident. They can also include assault or from faulty products. It is by no means an exclusive list, but it gives you an idea of ways in which people can be injured, and how they may have a legal right to claim compensation.

When To Hire A Personal Injury Lawyer

As a general guideline, it’s best to contact a lawyer after an accident as soon as possible. There are a couple reasons for this, the first being the statute of limitations. The statute of limitations is a law implemented on a state by state basis which allocates a specific timeline when personal injury cases can be filed. According to the Michigan Compiled Laws section 600.5805 the state of Michigan has a three-year timeline. This means you have three years to file your claim. If you try to file a claim outside of this three-year time period, you will most likely be unable to do so. There are some exceptions to this law where the filing time may change, including:

• If the injury victim is a minor at the time of the accident. In this case, the injury victim will have one year from the date of their 18^th birthday to file a claim.
• The negligent party left the state before a claim could be filed

Beyond the statute of limitations, which applies to all personal injury claims, many injuries covered by personal injury law are soft tissue injuries. These injuries affect the tendons, ligaments and muscles of the body, such as whiplash. Like whiplash, these types of injuries progressively get worse over a few days or even weeks after the injury occurred.

Because these injuries progressively get worse over time, many injury victims sign a compensation agreement with an insurance company before talking to a lawyer only to discover later that their injuries are worse than they initially believed. Claimants in these scenarios are not usually able to recover any additional compensation to cover their additional costs.
