It is not unusual to be unsure whether you have the right to file a claim. Consulting with a highly experienced personal injury lawyer in Farmington Hills may be the best way to get the answers you are looking for.
When you choose to work with our team at White Law PLLC, you can get the strategic legal advice you need to make an educated decision about how to proceed with your case. Our firm has handled virtually every type of personal injury case out there. Some of the most common types of claims we take on include:
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Motor vehicle accidents are one of the top causes of serious injuries across the state. In fact, Traffic Crash Data shows that in 2022, there were 12,900 car accidents in southeast Michigan and 45,367 car accidents across the state.
Motor vehicle accidents can include:
- Commercial truck wrecks
- Motorcycle accidents
- Rideshare accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Taxi accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Bus accidents
- Train derailments
- Uber accidents
- Lyft accidents
Traumatic Brain Injuries
One of the most common and devastating types of injuries our clients have reported is traumatic brain injuries. The human brain is the most complex organ in the body, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. Victims may find themselves with injuries so severe that they need to learn how to walk, eat, write, feed themselves, and complete daily living tasks on their own.
If this sounds like what you are going through, you may feel a wave of relief. Our firm is here to offer you solutions to your financial problems. By taking legal action against the individual or entity who caused your traumatic brain injury, your personal injury attorney in Farmington Hills can demand the just compensation you are entitled to.
Slips and Falls
Slip and fall accidents are shockingly common. In 2021, there were 44,686 unintentional fall deaths reported across the country, according to the National Vital Statistics System – Mortality data (2021) via CDC WONDER. The various types of injuries sustained in slips and falls can be minor or life-threatening.
Fortunately, slip-and-fall accident claims almost always point to the property owner for liability. If the property owner where the accident occurred failed to maintain the integrity of the premises, thereby failing to uphold their duty of care as described under MCL §554.583, you can hold them accountable. Options might include filing a claim against their homeowners or general liability insurance coverage or pursuing a slip and fall lawsuit against them.
Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice could be considered a hidden threat. Patients are often unaware that they are victims of medical malpractice until months or even years after the incident. Some examples of medical malpractice when filing in personal injury claims could include:
- Failure to treat
- Misdiagnosis
- Birth injuries
- Medication mistakes
- Surgical errors
- Anesthesia mistakes
- Failure to provide follow-up care
- Missed diagnosis
- Hospital negligence
Your Fight Is Our Fight
You Can Demand Full Compensation for Your Damages
The type of accident you were involved in will determine how your personal injury attorney in Farmington Hills handles your case. For instance, if you were involved in a car accident, we would consider whether you should file a claim with your personal insurer or the liable party’s insurer based on Michigan’s choice of no-fault insurance laws as described by the Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services. Other times, if the individual who caused your injuries is uninsured, we may move forward with a personal injury lawsuit from the start.
Economic Damages vs Non-Economic Damages
Economic damages and non-economic damages are also collectively referred to as compensatory damages. They describe a wide variety of financially based and non-financially based losses you have the right to be awarded. Some examples of such losses could include:
- Loss of income
- Vehicle repair expenses
- Psychological distress
- Loss of household services
- Inconvenience
- Personal and professional reputational damage
- Indignity and embarrassment
- Shame and fear
- Diminished earning capacity
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of consortium
- Skin scarring, permanent disability, and disfigurement
Punitive Damages
Punitive damages are also a hot topic regarding personal injury claims. Injury victims like you may wonder whether punitive damages could be awarded in your case. While punitive damages are possible, they are not common.
As described by MCL §445.911, punitive damages only apply to gross negligence or intentional malice. If the defendant’s conduct is not considered egregious, punitive damages may not apply. You can find out more about whether punitive damages may be issued in your case when we discuss the specific circumstances of your case in detail.
