Pursuing Compensation For Automobile Accident Injuries

Have you or a loved one been injured in an automobile accident in Michigan? Do you now feel lost in the system?

Stolcenberg and RJS Law have been answering these questions and many others for individuals whose lives have been disrupted and destroyed by injuries from automobile accidents, or motorcycle or truck collisions. We work hard to help secure the best possible recovery available to help you move forward with your life.

Michigan No-Fault Law

Since 1973, Michigan has been using a “no-fault” law for auto accidents. Essentially, the system makes it so that your own insurance company covers your claim and pays for your basic immediate losses, such as medical expenses and lost income, regardless of whether the collision was your fault or not. Even if you were to blame for the car accident, you may be entitled to certain benefits.

Who Pays After A No-Fault Car Accident?

If you were injured in a car accident, the insurance company that pays for your benefits might be your own or the other driver’s insurance provider, depending on a number of factors. The benefits are the same regardless of which insurer pays.

Long-Term Benefits And Changes To Quality Of Life

Basic insurance benefits are useful where injuries are relatively minor or when a full recovery can be expected. However, people who have suffered serious injuries, such as spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries and injuries resulting in amputation, will often require long-term, in some cases lifelong, medical care and treatment.

If your injuries are serious enough to have affected your quality of life or have restricted your activities, you may be able to recover additional damages from the at-fault driver or an insurance provider. These types of claims can be complicated, which is why experienced legal guidance is essential to helping you recover the compensation you need and deserve.
