File Your Claim as Soon as Possible

According to Michigan Compiled Laws section 600.5805, the statute of limitations on personal injury cases is three years. This means unless you file your claim within three years from the date of your injury you will lose your right to recover compensation. While Michigan does recognize some exceptions to the statute of limitations in some cases, it’s best to file your personal injury claim as soon as possible. Have questions about the statute of limitations? Call our firm today to speak to an attorney.

Damages Available in a Personal Injury Case

Generally speaking, there are three types of compensation available to car accident victims, economic damages, non-economic damages, and punitive damages. Both economic and non-economic damages seek to compensate the injured party for different losses. Together they are referred to as compensatory damages. The goal is that between economic and non-economic damages the injured party is compensated for all their losses. Examples of compensatory damages include:

  • Pain and suffering

  • Mental anguish

  • Medical Expenses

  • The inability to work

Punitive damage differs from compensatory damages in that their main purpose is to punish the negligent party rather than compensate the injured party. Because punitive damages can be severe, they are not often awarded and usually are reserved for cases where the negligent party knew their actions would most likely cause harm but did them anyway.

Should I Hire an Attorney for My Personal Injury Case?

A member of our legal team can walk you through the entire process of filing a personal injury claim, and unlike insurance companies, they are true advocates on your behalf. Insurance companies are usually looking out for their company’s bottom line first and foremost, not your best interest. Additionally, many people find that their injuries turn out to be more severe days or weeks after they sustained them. If you accept an insurance settlement offer before you know how serious your injuries are, you may find your settlement no longer covers all your expenses. An attorney from our firm can fight to protect your rights and help you recover the compensation you deserve. Call us today for a free consultation!

Every injury is unique, but the laws and circumstances surrounding them fall into a few broad categories.
